I would be grateful if any parent could offer the benefit of their experience as I am going round in circles in my head here:
In brief - my Y10 dd and her friends were deliberately injured whilst on a school residential by a group of boys. This is being dealt with by the school and all the perpetrators have had a fixed term exclusion. Whilst on this ft exclusion there have been snapchats from one of the students using degrading sexualised language about the girls which I forwarded to the school. As a result the school say they are outraged and have extended the term of exclusion for this student. We still feel very angry that this student posted these images when he was already being punished for his violent behaviour, and feel that the first exclusion wasn't much of a consequence for him if he consequently posted degrading posts about his victims.
My question is - should we report the social media posts to the police? We have reservations as the girls have already suffered name calling (snitch) for speaking up about the original assault they suffered and we are worried about further reprisals. But it seems terribly unfair for the girls to have been physically assaulted, trashed on social media, called names for reporting and the boys to get a fixed term exclusion (a few days off school in the sunshine...)
Does anyone have any advice or any experience in this area, please?
Thanks
