Allegations from neighbour
Comments

So I spoke to the other lady who had problems before, and she said she ended up smacking the lady over the road.
Had school on the phone yesterday - the other families son (aged 6) threatened to hit my youngest (4) with a large stick round her head.... my 4 year old apparently informed him she would "knock him out" and the other mother has complained about it....
Whilst my DD probably did say she would hit him back, she certainly wouldn't say "knock him out" and he shouldn't have flipping said he'd hit her with a weapon for goodness sake
Waiting on head to see what's happening...0 -
Been on the phone to school this morning. Neighbours son (6) picked up a log/stick and threatened to hit my youngest (4) round the head with it. Waiting on a phone call back0

Is this the same incident as in your post #52?Mimi_Arc_en_ciel wrote: »Been on the phone to school this morning. Neighbours son (6) picked up a log/stick and threatened to hit my youngest (4) round the head with it. Waiting on a phone call back
You said that it was the school that phoned you yesterday about the incident.
Did anyone in charge - teacher, mid-day supervisor - witness the incident?
It really does sound like it is escalating and very worrying involving young children.
Time for a visit to the head?
Then the police?0 -
The Police wouldn't do nothing, this a really a dispute between two minors, Although MAY have been incited by a certain person the police would ask you to PROVE that the adult is inciting violence against your child, and even then what will the police do about it? Would it be worth asking for the PCSO to have a word? Like I said this person seems the thrive on the center of attention.Is this the same incident as in your post #52?

The head should be dealing with this as a serious incident, regardless of a counter claim by the offending childs mum he/she must act upon what evidence and witnesses available, suspension is not really ideal its not the child fault the mum is inciting her child to be violent, perhaps asking head if there is a cause in the childs behavior to refer to Social Services for investigation.
Perhaps if SS got involved then the mum may back off telling her child to hit your child because SHE landed herself in that situation (a total backfire if you could call it that).
The other mum seems to have pegged this mums mentality its something to think about.0 -
Sorry! Not sure what happened there! I posted briefly yesterday on my mobile before I had all the info then just logged on to update. Doesn't look like my post went on yesterday but cross posted today?
Another parent saw the boy pick up the stick and hold it above his head (Like he was going to hit “something”) but didn’t hear what was said by either kids. My DD told her teacher what the boy had said. It was at the end of drop off so there wasn’t many around, my mother takes my kids for me but she didn’t hear anything (Well she wouldn’t, she's deaf and wont wear her hearing aids) but she did see the boy throw the stick down when DD went running over to her and her teacher.
The schools stance is, it wasn't during school time (Although they were on school property the bell hadn't gone so wasn't "officially" school time)
They said they would “have a word” with the boy but said that they know from past experience he will deny everything. The school have said that during drop off / pick up I need to keep my DD away from her children and vice versa. They said that they aren't informing the police, but that they aren't sure whether the other mum will but it sounds like it0 -
