Have committed the cardinal sin of telling little sh*t off

[WineAndChocolate]

So DS (year 6) came home from school crying three times last week because of little sh*t in his class who has been picking on him. On the last day he came out crying I saw red and confronted the other boy in the playground. He went home and told his mum and dad who phoned the school and made a complaint against me. The thing is this boy has been nasty to a lot of the other children in the class and has been getting away with it for years. It was a knee jerk reaction and I know it is a big no no but as I say I had a bit of red mist come over me.

If my kid ever bullies yours, feel free to do the same again. Good for you.

Be careful. You might well find yourself banned from the playground. Bad form and no excuse to say you had red mist- we don't allow children to use this as an excuse and certainly not acceptable for an adult.

Your behaviour was unacceptable and will undoubtedly have been intimidating. You can expect to be called into school and may find yourself banned from the playground.

In future, if you have a problem, go and see the class teacher or Headteacher and give them the opportunity to sort it out.

I'm appalled at both your behaviour and the language you use to describe this child.

I think the title of the thread is awful and the fact that you can use it suggests a certain tone to the words you had.

If you were in fact calm and reasonable in your discussion of the child's wrong doings then I don't think you did anything wrong. A couple of generations ago it would have been entirely normal and the fact that it's not now is not an improvement.

However, it would have been much more sensible (today) to take the matter up with the school.

you should have complained to the school rather than confronted the little darling. there are dcs like this who make the other kids in their class difficult, this happened in my dss y5 class and some of his peers left because one boy was bullying the others badly.

it is frustrating.

Sadly schools so often fail to deal with bullying behaviour. If you can coldly and calmly make a young thug realise that you are on to him and will take it further (parents/school/police) then good for you. They behave badly partly because they know that no-one will call them up on it.

I'll give any head teacher one chance to deal with a problem head on. And if it's not dealt with head on straight away I'll deal with it myself. End of.

I think you did the right thing although it would have been better to do it off school property so they had no come back.

I'm with you. I would've done the same thing.

It's so hard to stay passive where your children are involved.
