i started a thread in chat a few weeks ago,heres the story in brief..
a lad had been hanging around outside the house and on the street during the holidays being horrible to my ds (6yrs) throwing stones at him (one hit im on the head and cut him)among other things.a man over the road had been out twice to tell him to move on because he was throwing stones near his new car.i also went out after ds came in crying, every time the boy and his 2 friends ran off.i thought these kids were a few years older than they actually are.
i started a job as a midday supervisor at ds's school when they went back to school last week and put into the junior playground.i find the kids are in yr6..

a few days later dp picked ds up from school whilst im at my other job and the boy and his father are parked outside our house.dp says the father looked as if he was about to get out of the car but seen i wasnt with them.Dp knows of this man and says hes a bit handy with his fists and mouthy.

ever since ive been petrified of coming home and putting off going straight home after picking ds up.always looking over my shoulder and out of window before i go out.
the boy is a well known trouble maker at the school and we have to deal with him everyday,i try to steer clear of him which i shouldnt be doing.
should i tell someone at school?i dont want to make things worse.the boy and his friends have stopped hanging about outside,but im still weary of letting ds out to play

Did you do or say anything to the child that would mean that his Dad had a score to settle? Imo, if he was the handy with his fists type, he'd be more likely to confront your OH than you - would he possibly be coming round to apologise but no point apologising to your OH as in his own mind it has nothing to do with him?

I'd speak to the school so they are aware, but you are behaving as if you are scared of this boy which is playing into his hands.

If you have nothing to be ashamed of then front it up.

Absolutely talk to the school. You need someone to talk to.
Good luck.

I would be really nice to him. I did that when my dd was being picked on at school.

"your hair looks nice today Bianca. How many times can you skip Bianca? You are really found on the monkey bars Bianca. Yum, you've got strawberries today Bianca! Did you have a good weekend Bianca"

It worked.

im wondering whether the boy has panicked seeing me working at school and told his father something incase i tell someone the truth of his behaviour iykwim
i try to treat him like any other child,offer him a drink etc..he refused to eat his packed lunch the other day and i spoke nicely to him twice to try and encourage him.i told a more senior supervisor and she said dont worry about him the teachers know what he is like.

TBH, if he was waiting outside your house, I would notify the police - not to ask them to do anything at present, but so that they are aware that if the dad does decide to be handy with his fists, they know to respond to any emergency call from your address quickly.
