Bullying

[Desperatelyneedabreak]

My son is getting bullied it's been pretty bad since he started, I've spoken to the school on numerous occasions but nothing changes. Today he was chased, hit and kicked outside of school and sworn at. Would you remove him from school? He says he doesn't want to change school but I'm not happy to keep sending him. I've spoken to the school but nothing changes it stops for a couple of days then starts again. He has no friends there and hasn't made a single friend since starting.

It’s difficult to say, since you don’t seem to have confidence that the school has taken action about the bullying, but I would have thought he’d want a fresh start if he’s being bullied and has no friends there. You say though, that he wants to stay.

What would you want or expect the school to do.

Just move him

You're the adult here

My DD was getting bullied and they don't know what to do

I got her moved to another school within a couple of weeks

You need to fill in the form on the council website and call alll the local schools to explain why you want him moved and just get it done

DD ended up so much happier at the new school

He has no friends there anyway

FFS OP move the poor boy asap

Why are you even asking us what to do

Ignore your DS and just move the poor boy

Your poor boy.

call he police - the school won’t do this. Make a report:

Move schools.

Yes would definitely move him, doesn't seem to be any reason to stay. Would consider calling police re the attack on him as well especially if witnesses.

Yes of course move him, it’s a no-brainer

I’m curious to know why he DOESNT want to move school?

The child doesn’t want to move school. Why should he have to move school because of the poor behaviour of others.
Tell the school that if anyone touches your son again you will go to the police.

How old is your son

Schools will do absolutely nothing and in my experience pretend to parents that there is no bullying. Put your son in online schooling or move him to a different school.

Firstly I would report to the police, witnesses or not. Your poor boy. I’m so sorry this is happening to him. I’d really be wanting to thoroughly understand why he wants to stay though. He can’t be happy given he’s no friends. I’d be inclined to move as facing this everyday will be damaging. If you move him are these same kids likely to see him around and continue to bully and attack him?
