My son is 7 yrs old and is in year 3. Since reception there has been one boys whose name crops up continuously, whether it be not letting others play, saying who can and cannot join in a game, pushing, spitting, telling children he is going to kill them, that he will come around to their house and wreck their car, that their parents dont love them, etc. He begs parents to let him come over to play and then after he has been the very next day he is mean to that child and doesnt want to play with them. The scenarios are pretty endless really. He picks on the girs and the boys and this week alone I know he has made two girls cry. The school are inundated by parents complaining but over the years there has never been an improvement. Its obvious that this child has some problem somewhere down the line. He has never really known his dad so his Mum is alone and she has an older teenage son too who isnt exactly angelic. Life certainly msut be hard for her. She is a nice enough lady, I used to chat to her and I have had this boy over but havent done so in the last year because he upsets my little boy so much......my little boy has aspergers and so often this boys behaviour upsets my son and so I decided that I would steer clear of him. However, I do feel guilty about this as it must be awful for this child. No parent in the playground wants their child to be associated with him anymore. So my question is, what will a school be doing behind the scenes in situations like this. I feel this child needs some councselling, he gets so angry and shouts at kids right in their faces and spits at them. What are your views?
