Who would you speak to about this? I'm a bit upset.

[TheOneWithTheHair]

Last week dd, year 4, dropped into the conversation that two boys on her lunch table had been spitting in her food. I was quite shocked by this and told her she must tell a teacher.

I asked her the next day and she said she'd told a teacher and it had stopped.

I found out today that one of the boys had been bragging about it and said he still did it because dd annoyed him and he hated her. When he was told it was "gross" he just laughed and said he thought it was funny.

I'm going to speak to school in the morning so I asked dd which teacher she had told and she said it was a dinner lady.

I'm not sure who I need to talk to about it. Dh is seething and says I should go straight to the head but I'm wondering if maybe I should go to the class teacher or maybe the one who's in charge of social care? (Sorry, I forgot the proper name.)

Any help or advice greatly appreciated.

I think the parents should be told that's disgusting behaviour. I would message the head and thank him for taking the incident seriously but you feel that the parents must be informed of this. I take the view that you should go in tough when a kid does something like this not wait for it to escalate.
