My dd is in year seven and doing well at settling. She has a group of friends at school and is keeping up with work etc.
She has to get the bus there and back, which is fine in many ways. However, there is a boy from her old school who is not settling well at the school and in trouble a fair bit. Additionally, he has been really mean to a number of children including dd. On the bus, this has included saying quite explicit things about dd to other, bigger kids. Yesterday, dd told me he had taken photos of her on his phone and whatsapped them to others with inappropriate comments on them.
I did log the comments before with the school. I would rather dd learnt to deal with him by belittling and ignoring the comments, but I am also aware that dd needs to feel safe and happy on the bus.
What would your view be on how to deal with this?
