DS has a medical condition, which requires a lot of intervention to keep him well. He attends mainstream school and his previous school (and friends) have always been fabulous, very accommodating, and just accepted him for who he is.
However, he moved recently and his medical issues seem to be a 'big' issue for the new school (despite them saying they would be ok with it). Then there are the other students, most of whom are accepting of DS, but there is one child who keeps raising the issue of DS's condition (usually with some smart arse comment). I assisted on a school trip recently and heard this young boy say in a sneers tone 'so what's wrong with you again'. The boy became very quiet when DS said to me 'should I answer that mum'.
Today, DS has been at a party and this boy was also in attendance, he apparently made fun of DS's inability to keep up with his peers in their activity then threatened to punch DS in his stomach - DS has a mini button gastrostomy, which the class (this boy included) were made aware of when DS first started.
I am really concerned as we have always encouraged DS to be proud of who he is, and although his medical condition is part of him he isn't embarrassed or ashamed of it (neither does he use it to brag or gain sympathy), it's just a part of him. I am worried that this boy is using his medical condition to try and belittled (reluctant to use the word bully) DS, and that this boy will encourage others to do the same towards DS.
Am I right to think that we should notify the school about this boys behaviour towards DS? I am worried as the school are just getting to grips with DS, and I don't want to single him out, but equally I don't want this other boy thinking that DS's condition is cannon fodder for the playground. They are KS2, and DH thinks I'm overreacting maybe I am just a little bit?.
