DD has told me that a boy in her class (I'll call him A) is regularly making fun of another little boy in a different class (I'll call him B). B clearly has special needs of some sort but I don't know the details.
It seems that A regularly hangs around B in the playground, telling him to do things like pulling down his trousers and pants etc. B generally does as he is told. A and his friend's apparently find this hilarious but from what dd has told me, B doesn't seem to be laughing with them. DD finds it distressing to watch as she thinks A is making fun of B and she is worried that B will get into trouble for doing things which aren't his fault.
She said that she and her friend's have previously reported this behaviour to the dinner ladies on several occasions, but they seem to have been fairly dismissive about it and I'm guessing that they may just regard it as general tale-telling. The behaviour has continued in spite of what has been reported, and nothing seems to have been put in place to stop it from happening again and again.
DD is six, and I think girls do tell tales a lot at this age, so she is probably no exception. However, I think she is genuinely concerned about B and about the manner of these interactions with A, which don't seem to be particularly good-natured from her perspective. I really want to think that the dinner ladies can be trusted to exercise their judgement and that they would discuss any real concerns with the teachers etc. I am also quite reluctant to interfere in something that I'm sure the school should be able to handle. But...
I am very uneasy about the idea of this poor little boy being used by the other kids as a source of entertainment, perhaps without any clear idea of what is going on. I'm loathe to use the b-word, but does this sound like bullying to you, and would it be reasonable for me to mention this to the teacher as a concern?
