Can a child sue ?

Purdy, the questions you want the answers to are "How did this situation occur?" "How can you guarantee it won't happen again"

Dont let them fob you off with additional surveillance. They clearly cannot put in place proper systems to protect you son while this other child remains in school.

I simply do not understand why the other child has not been removed from school, regardless of any other considerations in his life and that is also something they need to explain to you. It is not good enough to say they cannot discuss this child. They have to explain to you why they are prepared to allow your child to remain at risk. That is irrelevant to the other one's home life. He should not be in that school.

In the past the child would have been expelled, but then moved onto another school where it would probably happen again. He really needs to be in a special school, but in this day and age of 'inclusion for all', this will rarely happen. Inclusion is an excellent idea, but here should be exceptions in sever cases like these.

I would move my children to another school if situations don't improve - he will make new friends quickly as he is still fairly young.

I cannot begin to express my feelings for you in this terrible situation, it is every parents nightmare.

I just want to ask you to re-consider your decision not to remove your son from the school. Whilst this is far from ideal, please please consider the implications if the boy does carry out any of his threats. They are horrrific & life changing. I used to date a man who had been abused at school, only slightly older than your son & in similar circumstances. 20 years later the experiences still haunted him, the saying that abuse attracts abuse proved true in his case as he suffered both further abuse in secondary school & for a while became (voilently not sexually) abusive, he was unable to maintain emotional relationships & became agressive & violent in spite of a most loving & supportive family & MENSA level IQ, his life is still blighted by the experiences & to be honest I am forever expecting to get the call that his body has been found in whatever ircumstances. I am still close to his mum & see that it breaks her heart anew everyday that if she had somehow prevented the abuse he might possibly be as happy as his brother & sister. Please please do not risk putting your son through it.
