Y7 DS being harassed

[alliejay81]

DS started Secondary this week. All was good the first two days. On the third day one of the girls in his class started following him around. She followed him for the whole of lunch and break and on three different occasions tried to grab him to hug him. One time she succeeded and she had to be removed by DS's friend. DS is pretty small for his age so good chance this girl is physically bigger.

My best guess (although obviously I don't know) is this girl isn't NT as it seems like very odd behaviour for an NT 11 year old. I've dropped a note to the school as I wanted to nip this behaviour in the bud. But, I just wanted some advice on what to tell my son to do if this behaviour repeats itself on Monday.

Tell him to ask the girl to leave him alone and then he should go and tell his form tutor.

Sounds like you’re right and the girl may have some SN. Your DS needs to tell someone every time it happens and he needs to also tell you and then you need to follow up and make sure it is dealt with school every time.
I think when it’s early days in the new school year it’s easy to not want to make too much of a fuss but in my experience it’s better to nip these things in the bud.
