How would you handle this?

Hello

My daughter who is 8 'confided/told' my mum, her nana last night that a girl in her class said something horrible to her and this horrible thing was 'you are supposed to be white, god left you in the oven to burn' now my daughter is mixed race so is brown skinned and i think this has upset her and im fuming. I understand children exploring or being confused about different skin colours but this comment is disgusting and disturbing. Shes been complaining about this child for months constantly being nasty to her but the teacher does nothing. i am concerned. We have expressed our concern to the head but all they do is have a word with the teacher and nothing happens.

How would you handle this???

I don't understand what you're annoyed about. The school informed the parent and have presumably spoken to the child. There is nothing else to be done.

How can they prove she did it? I agree that such a very specific comment is unlikely to have been made up but they can't punish a child based on one account.

The mother being annoyed is irritating but she'll get over it. I agree with PPS - don't follow her on social media, just keep out of the situation completely.

What is it that you want the school to do?
