Name changed for this as I have posted about my DDs story so don't want to be outing.
In short, my daughter was viciously assaulted by two girls last November which resulted in her being hospitalised with severe facial injuries. She couldn't return to school for 3 weeks due to how bad she looked, and when she did return the two girls who had done this had not been permanently excluded. Their reasons for this - 1) it was JUST outside school grounds when it happened (all were in uniform) and 2) apparently it's difficult to exclude a pupil, 3) it was easier if my daughter left as she didn't have any negative behaviour points or exclusions.
So ultimately, we were pushed to leave as DD didn't want to be around these girls. Roll on now and the two girls have just been found guilty of assault. One of section 18, one of Section 47. The punishment varies between the two, but ultimately both are going about their lives and remain in the school. This bothers me. I feel parents should know they were found guilty of a crime. I know you can't name them, but as the judge described them as unpredictable in his sentencing....my question is...
Would you want to know if your child went to school with children who had been convicted of a serious assault? I'm not sure where to go with it? I've considered saying something on the parents page, I've considered saying nothing at all. We're not in the school anymore but it does aggravate me that they are still there. Maybe I'm over thinking it. These children are 14. Thoughts appreciated as to whether I should just let it go.
