Bullying from the kids in the next street? 15yo and my 9yo

Last summer my little boy who is 9, was playing in the next street along and came home to say 3 boys were being nasty and one punched him in the neck. I went around to the next street (we live in a nice estate and not many children around) and I seen the 3 boys so I went over to where they were, they were in a front garden so I assumed it was one of their houses which it was I asked what was going on and who had been punching my child, it was the 8 year old, my child was also 8 so I assumed they had just got into some fight and the child’s Mum came out and I explained what was going on, she told off her child and told him if he wasn’t going to play nicely with my child then not to play with him, he said he didn’t want to play nicely so we agreed they shouldn’t play together. I told my child to only play in our street. So last night my child came running in saying the 3 boys were in our street and wanted to beat him up, one of them is 9, one 10 and one 15! I told him to still go out and play and if they did anything to come and tell me but that I would be watching. They hadn’t actually told him they wanted to beat him up he had only assumed that’s why they were here. So he went back out there was a few children playing, I live in a cul-de-sac of about 20 houses and there is only my children and 4 other houses with children but they are all close in age so often play together, then it all seamed ok they were playing nicely together so I came back in my house and left my front door open as I’m busy putting in a new kitchen and was in and out of the house and garage, then I see they are all crowded around so go over and the 3 boys asked my child to play wrestling and he didn’t want but they talked him into it. I went over to them and another mum came out and we told them to leave our street and stay away. They got cheeky with the other mum but she threatened to speak to their parents and they left. My child came home and I could see a red mark on his face on his cheek bone, I asked what this was and he said during the wrestling the 15 year old punched him in the face! My child has woken up today with a black eye from this. What can I do? What should i do? Iv no idea where this 15 year old lives or why he’s hanging out with 9 year olds and punching other 9 year olds!

Ah this is so horrible sorry. Report to police and to the school - could you ask the 9 year olds parents who the 15 year old is? Assuming you know where he lives from last summer?

Bring your child round to their parents house and show them the black eye that their 15 year old caused. Then ask them if this is going to be a problem again and if you need to phone the police. Photograph your sons bruises.
