My 12 Year Old Son is being bullied

[VIVIKINS]

My 12 year old son has Special Needs he has a Speech & Language Disorder and goes to a Special Needs School and is in the MDL class for Moderate Learning Difficulties but is being bullied by another boy and his friend who is a girl who are also in his class, they are bullying him to show his private parts or the boy says he will beat him up.

I have spoken to the school about general bullying from these 2 children but he has now told me that the boy has bullied him to show his private parts or he will beat him up, he felt scared so did it, I am in a quandary as to whether I should tell the school as I wouldn't want this put on his record at the school as if he wanted to do this as he was upset when telling me and said he really didn't want to do it.

We have considered trying to get him moved to another school but don't feel a main stream school would be the best way forward, he isn't able to move class as there is only 1 class per school year.

I would really appreciate any advise on the best way to tackle this problem.

I would be at the school today demanding a meeting with head teacher, telling them everything that happened and asking them to tell you exactly what they are going to do to ensure this never happens again. They are there to protect your ds and they are clearly failing to do so. Please don't hesitate. You don't have to tell ds you've gone it if that's worrying you.

Me too, I would be contacting the school immediately. It wont be put on the record as your ds wanting to do it. Your ds is vulnerable and being taken advantage of, regardless of whether he wanted to do it or not.

School need to be told at once what has happened, this is predatory behaviour on the part of these children and is all about power and control over their victim. They are clearly failing to protect your son. I would also consider talking to the police too due to the sexual nature of the bullying.

Agree with the other replies. You are his voice. Bullying is horrible and it must be reported especially if its of this nature. They won't stop otherwise. I was bullied and I wish my parents had stood up for me even though I might have said otherwise. Please phone them today. Good luck
