We've had issues with a boy in DS's class since ds started school. DS is in P2. There's been instances of threats ranging from 'I'm going to punch you' to 'my mum's going to beat up your mum' and the more sinister 'my brother's going to get you when you're sleeping'. This child has also been picking on some of DS's friends. Last year, I spoke to the school on the occasions where DS had spoken to us. I also wrote to the school about it and was told they would monitor the situation. I hadn't heard anymore so thought it had been dealt with.
DS has been coming home again saying this child is hurting him. Last week, he hit him in the throat and another day punched him in the groin. The throat thing was playing and the punch was because he got angry at DS for not putting his coat on to go outside. Yeterday, after being off, he kicked 1 of DS's friends and when DS told a playground monitor, the boy got him on the ground. One of DS's friends pulled him off, then got kicked himself for his trouble.
I wrote to the school again about the first 2 instances but now DS has a new teacher. I spoke to the head and made an appointmemnt to see her.
After this long ramble, (thank you for staying with me), what sort of things can I suggest? I don't know if this boy has any behavioural problems but I'm sick of DS getting picked on. I need to know that the school will take me seriously and not palm me off. DH has suggested that if it doesn't change, we should move DS to another school and get the education authority involved. DS loves his school and I don't see why he should suffer.
Thank you again if you made it all the way through this.
