what we you do - daughter had stone thrown at her

dipsy

Hi not really sure how to handle this

Daughter started secoundry school just over a week ago, on Friday she was waiting for a bus with her friend - who was coming back to our house when a group of children, 2 older girls, 1 boy in year 8 (year above her and in school uniform) and a 4 year old started name calling

then they started throwing stones at them, one of the stones hit my daughter near her eye, her face was all red

she went to a friends house to get cleaned up as she was frightened and then got the bus home with her friend.

I have rung the school 2 x this morning first time before 9am and explained I needed to speak to the head of year urgently - no call back as yet

anyway not really sure if they will do anything as off school premisis and out of hours although the boy was from the same school as her.

really my question is how would you handle this

my first thought was to go to his house and speak with his parents and then I thought about contacting the police as it was assault

what would you do???

Any

That is horrible!!

I would call the school again and said I will wait on the phone until the head comes to the phone (make sure you call at the break). Or I would go in personally.

If only one of the children is from the school though, I am not sure how far will the Head get you. I would also probably go to the parent's house.

If they are abusive (no idea what kind of people they are) then I would call the police.

I am going to school later and i am hoping they will have called me by then.

The boy in question apparently has threatened the other girl that was with my daughter on Friday, my daughter has just called in the break as she normally does just to let me know how her day is going.

If I am honest I feel like tracking him down and dealing with it myself, although I know this is not a good idea, Im so mad/upset

red_devil

yer track them down and say how would you like it if i threw a stone in your face eh!

this is horrible, i hope your daughter and her friend are ok.

i would go to the boys house. and tell the mother what he has done.

i had something similar with DD (i dont recommend you do this but it worked for me, didnt mean to do it, i was just so mad)

dd was sat in the `chalk square` in the playground chalking on the floor when a boy came and kicked her in the head for no reason TWICE. i rushed over and dd was sat crying (she wont hit back as we have taught her violence is wrong). i marched over to his mum and told her what he did, she just shrugged her shoulders and said he wont listen to her so there is no point telling him off:eek::mad: and seemed angry i approched her. it was obvious she didnt give a hoot about what had happened so i told her if her son touched my daughter again i would go to her house and do the same 10 times as hard to her.:o

he didnt touch her again:D

Juby that is very naughty:rotfl:;)
I would speak to the school as if they are still in uniform although they are not in school they can speak to them. If you think it will do any good then speak to the parents, if not can you meet her from school and "glare" at them i.e if you dare:mad::mad:

i know:p, thats not ususally like me at all but i was just so angry about what had happened and the fact his mum didnt give a damn.

really rough family too, but i didnt care.

well have heard back from head of year, he is going to track the boy down, after having daughter and her friend in to find out what is going on

also going to let the schools police liasison officer know and have requested that she contact me once the school have spoken with her.

I would go and speak to the boys parents, but I don't know his surname and dont know where he lives otherwise I would have been around over the weekend.

am picking daughter up today after school and dropping her home so i will look out for him on the way home see if he is hanging around the same place as on friday and if he is I might well be having a "word" myself....

Just be wary about getting too involved, it might end up with them teasing her for 'needing' her parents to defend her, if he's a true rogue he won't care if you say anything to him.

good point beeniecat- it could make things a bit worse for her. (my DD was in reception)

has you daughter got an older brother/cousin she could be seen around school with? that could put the boy off from picking on her if he sees her with an older boy,,,,, just a thought.

dipsy

yes she has an older brother, but he is on the upper site....

hopefully school will sort him out, if not it will become a police matter if he touches her again
