Bullying in school... if you’re child was being bullied at school.. how would you deal with it..?

If you notified the school and made a complaint, but yet they say they can’t do anything.. what would you do..?

my child was being bullied in and out of school... school said they were dealing with it but outside of school that was my jurisdiction…. so I went to the police and they sorted it...

Councils have bullying policies and they should follow their procedures.

If the school hasn’t done anything then it should be escalated.

I’d discuss the issue with teacher

Then i’d write to the Headteacher.

If nothing improved i would write to the Headteacher and tell them that i’d be writing to anyone and everyone to let them know that their Schools Anti Bullying Policy was not worth a shit.

I’d couldn’t do it in person else i’d lose my temper.

If you put it in writing you have a written record and they should have to action it.

If nothing happened i would then open a can of whup arse and if needed remove my child from that School.

I'm hoping they're better at sorting it than they were when I were a lad

That's what we did. The police liaison officer paid the boy's family a visit. They then came and spoke to us and asked us how we wanted to take it forward. We chose to go with an off the record caution on the understanding that if it happened again we wouldn't be as understanding.

It didn't completely solve the problem but it helped a great deal.

In our experience schools are entirely hopeless at dealing with bullying in most cases.

If you go through the authorities and still nothing gets done.. what do you do? You’re child is physically and mentally tortured..

I couldn’t hit another child..

But what I would do is go around to all the rough schools in the city.. find the hardest kids in the schools.. get them together and pay them and go and teach those bullies a lesson..

Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire

Make an official complaint to the school via their e-mail & copy in the school governors.

They then have a set amount of time to respond.

Zero tolerance for bullying!

They do no more than pay lip service to the situation.

If the school didn't stop it I would go directly to the parent/s.

If that didn't stop it I would go to the police.

If that didn't stop it I would go to the bullies.

I was always a tiny kid. Was under 5ft4 until around year 9.

My mum put me into martial arts as I was a hyperactive kid. 6 against 1 still did nothing for them.

And also if you fight you get respect from the other kids. They will stand up for you. My sister at 12 got ganged up on by 3 girls bigger than her. I was teaching her mma from when she could crawl, Same with my brother.

She smached them all in, 2 lasses had to get stitches in there faces.

My brother hates hurting people. Will avoid it at all cost. Its actually pretty cute. He had to put a kid down because he wouldn't leave him alone. Bust his mouth and eye. Took him to the nurse after as he felt bad for him.

Those 'lasses' are scarred physically and will probably remember it as them being bullied by your sister.

Their fault for jumping her. That will show as a physical reminder that they shouldn't be bitches every time they look in the mirror. Decent scar too. 2 or 3 stitches I think.

My child is being bullied in school. She's 5. I have, at various times, notified each of her teachers and teaching assistants. One morning I saw one of the child's mothers and had a quiet polite word (My little one was still with me and was already upset enough at the notion of sharing air with the little cow). Said mother reacted with "I'll go and tell the little fucker now". I followed her into the classroom with my child to see her tearing into the teacher. Later that day I was called into the heads office (never when I was at school though. I was SUCH a good girl. She tried telling me they had not been informed of this previously (utter bollocks) but would now keep an extra close eye on it. To which I told her she was talking horsefeathers and if she were unable to sort it then I would. Fast forward to the following Tuesday, I saw said child giving mine grief at the window when she was waiting to wave to me, as I had left via the entrance near to that window I heard mine ask to be left alone. No teachers were monitoring the situation then. Both mothers have been attending school together, and bringing others up as reinforcements should I kick off. I rang school last Tuesday and spoke to the head. I simply said it was still happening and they were on their last warning. Anymore and id sort it. My ex told me on Sunday that our child had reported recent happenings to him. So, even though it's not my place - yes really, it's not my place to sort out something happening to MY child - on a regular basis - then, come a week on Monday there will be hell on. School have had since September and they ain't getting anymore. Little bastard needs boundaries - and to leave my kid the fuck alone. Incidentally, said kid has been in trouble for the same thing already.

In my childs case the police went to the bullies houses and spoke to the parents, then issued their kids with a yellow card which is similar to an ASBO but for under 16s and that also goes on their record at school... and that seems to be a deterrant for other kids too

Ask for the schools bullying policy.

Put your concerns in writing to the teachers, head and chair of governors. Ask for a meeting with them all and at that meeting tell them if it isn't sorted you will refer your concerns upwards (it should tell you where and who in the anti bullying policy).

As a last resort with children so young approach the police schools liaison officer. If you do this be prepared to be persona non grata in certain sections of the playground.

The mothers are sometimes worse, which is why I still keep myself to myself in the playground.

In my childs case the police went to the bullies houses and spoke to the parents, then issued their kids with a yellow card which is similar to an ASBO but for under 16s and that also goes on their record at school... and that seems to be a deterrant for other kids too"

Yes, they spoke to the parents and gave the kid a warning. It didn't stop him completely, but the final incident happened at secondary school and involved demanding money. The head came down on him like a ton of bricks...if that had happened five or six years earlier instead of having "no blame" circles and assemblies about being kind after our kid had come home with a bruise on his back of a shoe imprint maybe the little darling wouldn't have advanced to demanding cash.

"My child is being bullied in school. She's 5. I have, at various times, notified each of her teachers and teaching assistants. One morning I saw one of the child's mothers and had a quiet polite word (My little one was still with me and was already upset enough at the notion of sharing air with the little cow). Said mother reacted with "I'll go and tell the little fucker now". I followed her into the classroom with my child to see her tearing into the teacher. Later that day I was called into the heads office (never when I was at school though. I was SUCH a good girl. She tried telling me they had not been informed of this previously (utter bollocks) but would now keep an extra close eye on it. To which I told her she was talking horsefeathers and if she were unable to sort it then I would. Fast forward to the following Tuesday, I saw said child giving mine grief at the window when she was waiting to wave to me, as I had left via the entrance near to that window I heard mine ask to be left alone. No teachers were monitoring the situation then. Both mothers have been attending school together, and bringing others up as reinforcements should I kick off. I rang school last Tuesday and spoke to the head. I simply said it was still happening and they were on their last warning. Anymore and id sort it. My ex told me on Sunday that our child had reported recent happenings to him. So, even though it's not my place - yes really, it's not my place to sort out something happening to MY child - on a regular basis - then, come a week on Monday there will be hell on. School have had since September and they ain't getting anymore. Little bastard needs boundaries - and to leave my kid the fuck alone. Incidentally, said kid has been in trouble for the same thing already.

Ask for the schools bullying policy.

Put your concerns in writing to the teachers, head and chair of governors. Ask for a meeting with them all and at that meeting tell them if it isn't sorted you will refer your concerns upwards (it should tell you where and who in the anti bullying policy).

As a last resort with children so young approach the police schools liaison officer. If you do this be prepared to be persona non grata in certain sections of the playground.

The mothers are sometimes worse, which is why I still keep myself to myself in the playground. "

The parents often can't see their kids faults. I was quite happy for them to ignore me.

"My Niece is currently being bullied. She’s 5 and teeny tiny for her age. It breaks my heart.

Kids are twats now a days. Not quite as bad as when I was in school though.

They really are!

They're fucking worse. "

Trust me they aren't.

At my school they'd be weekly riots in the school group because me and a Pakistani lad would start fighting. He started on me btw.

Riot police would have to come and split it up. Got to the point where the police would have sit outside of the school for before school, break, lunch and after school.

Kids now are all mouth and no bite.

Children learn this behaviour, from parents and other influential people. They may have been bullied and are passing it on or they're insecure about something.

The whole advocating an eye for an eye just perpetuates this for generations to come.

I'm not suggesting it is easy to tackle, I know it's not and the effects are horrid and can be long-lasting, but turning into a bully or turning your child into a bully can't be the answer.

You seem proud of this and proud of teaching your siblings to fight without discipline. Did you learn the discipline required in martial arts or did you choose to ignore that side of it?

I got bullied at school as they said my parents had a posh house and I was called snobby Chloe.I hadn't even spoken to the girls that bullied me so they knew nothing about me.

The one time there was 7 girls waiting for me by the school gates and they just attacked me for no reason.I got punched in the face and spat on and my hair pulled out and stamped on.Ive always been small so they were like twice my size so I stood no chance.

I went home bleeding and crying so my parents made me tell them the girls names that did it and because it was just off school property the school couldn't do anything and the police only told them off as they was to young to charge with assault.

So I went back to school and got bullied by them again and other girls as they said I was a grass for telling the police what happened.Trust me you can't win and you just have to try to live with it.

Schools are installing metal detectors to prevent knife crime in some areas. That's a pretty tough bite.

I agree to an extent and we dealt with our situation by following the correct channels. However we have told both our kids since they were small if you're threatened put them on the ground first. I believe that's valuable advice particularly for girls who are often taught not to fight back.

That still happens. I was caught up in an incident with my granddaughter and some girls recently. There were 3 of them trying to beat her up with a mob of about 30 behind them. The 3 girls (one huge and bigger than me) kept rushing at me trying to get to her. 4 men and a plain clothes police officer struggled to keep them off, with me. The worry now is whether they are carrying knives. She said nan, if you weren't there they would have fucked me up.

If they don't fight back they will keep being picked on. Taking your child to defend themself is not making them into a bully.

I would defend myself if someone stared on me.

A 15 yr old I worked with took a gun to his work experience placement at JD sports. He didn't know they did random bag searches in case of theft.

You say someone but bullies don't work like that now.I left school 3 years ago and bullies now have 2 3 4 5 6 7 people with them.One of them is always known for carrying a weapon.There never alone at school to get one on one it's you against there crew.fight back like i tryed to but when there's a group of them you don't stand a chance.so then tell your parents or the police and the rest of the school labels you a grass and your cards are marked for more beatings by everyone.

The system now works in the favour of the bullie as the schools hands are tied by rules and all the police can do it basically tell them off.

That then leaves you to face the conciquences when you see them again.

I wouldn't call it pride. I always saw it as its either them or me. But most of my mates were football hooligans though. My mum kept me out of the actual firm though.

My school days are like Mallory Towers compared to that. I went to quite a sedate all girls school and remember being quite surprised when my youngest brother watched Grange Hill and said it was realistic .

That's a school gang fight. They have out of school gang vendettas now and they can't go into another gang's area. Didn't the police cotton on to your regular fighting?

Had the issue twice - our eldest was bullied from all but day 1 of school she came home covered in bite marks to her back as a tot - the teachers didn't see the boy taking chunks out of her and they were mostly "friends", after several years at high school and being bullied relentlessly day in day out, having tried all the correct channels and getting nowhere I told her to fight back so she did and then we got called in and they were talking about excluding her! I won't even go into the time she had a lad threatening to sexually assault her and the deputy head laughed and said boys will be boys...

Same school my younger daughter got attacked, the teachers removed my daughter from transport and I was made to collect her - she was treated as if she was the perpetrator, I again went through the correct channels they talked me out of making an official complaint, a week later the same girl was threatening to attack my daughter so given last time when she sought help and the teachers told her to go away she hit the girl first - and was permanently excluded.

So for us the correct channels have been a waste of time, the high school my girls attended my son starts in september - I don't suppose for one minute that will be problem free either.

"My Niece is currently being bullied. She’s 5 and teeny tiny for her age. It breaks my heart.

Kids are twats now a days. Not quite as bad as when I was in school though.

They really are!

They're fucking worse.

Trust me they aren't.

At my school they'd be weekly riots in the school group because me and a Pakistani lad would start fighting. He started on me btw.

Riot police would have to come and split it up. Got to the point where the police would have sit outside of the school for before school, break, lunch and after school.

Kids now are all mouth and no bite.

That still happens. I was caught up in an incident with my granddaughter and some girls recently. There were 3 of them trying to beat her up with a mob of about 30 behind them. The 3 girls (one huge and bigger than me) kept rushing at me trying to get to her. 4 men and a plain clothes police officer struggled to keep them off, with me. The worry now is whether they are carrying knives. She said nan, if you weren't there they would have fucked me up.

Thats nothing I'm talking 4 to 500 students fighting with metal, woods, glass and whatever.

Weekly! Blimey.

Maybe monthly at that scale. But was about 100 to 150 on a weekly.

That's awful.

My school days are like Mallory Towers compared to that. I went to quite a sedate all girls school and remember being quite surprised when my youngest brother watched Grange Hill and said it was realistic ."

I'm from Bradford. Thats all you need to know.

That's a school gang fight. They have out of school gang vendettas now and they can't go into another gang's area. Didn't the police cotton on to your regular fighting? "

Thats when the police had to watch the school every we had lunch or break. Police were there before and after school. Never stopped it much though.

Usually ended up meeting in the fields near the school. Was still about a 100 fghting.

I think I'd honestly freak out firstly!

If the school done nothing I would then go see the parent in person. This visit would make sure they knew if nothing was done they'd be sorry!

If the parent did nothing I would make sure the bully was scared the crap out of.

I know 2 wrongs don't make a right but, the world we live in now - its us or them! Sometimes bully's only understand aggression! Sad but true!!

I would make sure they understood!!

Btw, my 10 yr old child is a black belt in Tkwd so hopefully the above won't happen or at least give her some level of protection!

I'm hoping she kicks ass before it got to a bullying stage!!! She's a great kick ass kid!!!!

Sounds like a fun kid. Personally I'd put her in mma. Makes her alot more well rounded. Tkd is mostly attach. Its great but if someone pins you you don't know what to do. Mma teaches you both attack and defence in the form of bjj (Brazilian ju jitsu).

What gets me riled about Bullying cases involving schoolkids, when raised in the Media, is the same statement rolled out by the schools or their controlling Council.

"We operate a robust No Bullying policy and deal with each incident thoroughly" blah blah blah!

Hang on, if you were robust enough, there'd be NO BULLYING!!

Then they go into details of bringing the bullies out for a day and put them into some theraputic talking session or similar.

Oh, that's really going to scare them shitless, isn't it?

If the culprits parents give a damn, then maybe there's a chance of it not happening again.

But if not, kick those bullies out of school and place them in custody. Yeah, I'm Old School, but if a child is capable of violence towards another, he or she should be placed somewhere secure!

I suffered badly at the hands of bullies at secondary school. That is, till I had had enough and lashed out and walloped the School Bully so hard, he was off school for 2 days with his sore nose & jaw! I was never bullied again!

Yeah I agree and that's the plan but when she's a little older! She's likes boxing at the min but not really that aggressive yet!

She's a little princess who can kick ass but only if people push the right buttons!

Couple more years before big school and hopefully well on her way (insert praying emoji) ha.

i approached the parents, my 7 year old daughter has been getting bullied for the past couple of years by the same 3 kids in her class, i won’t go in to details but i was in tears when she told me some of the things that happened, i did wonder whether the school was actually trying to sort it out but in the end, my daughter pointed out the parents to one of the kids when i was collecting her, let’s just say the entire yard of parents heard my thoughts on their dear little angel and what needs doing to him.

You need to keep on complaining to the school. You can make a complaint to the police also, who can send the community PC to see the children involved and speak to the parents. Bullying at school is extremely nasty. X

I remember when mine were in primary school and I rang in to speak to the head teacher for the umpteeth time after my child came out in tears again,to be told by the headteacher well Mrs ...... it could be five children hitting her not just one!

The next time she came out in tears I bypassed the 'useless good for nothing should have retired year's before' headteacher and knocked on the child's door and told the child in front of his mother in no uncertain terms if he touches either of my children again I'll go straight to the police.

Thankfully shortly after the child and headteacher left. I seriously felt like going into school everyday to thump the headteacher in the stomach or push her against the wall and tell her I'm going to burn your mum and see how long she put up with it.

This makes me shake thinking back about it. My daughter had just started high school her who attitude changed. Long story short she was being bullied. Visits to school head teacher head of years promise to sort it. Found out 2 weeks later it carried on. I booked to see the head teacher at lunch time. I by passed the head teacher straight to play ground and outed the two girls bullying my daughter. After years of being in the forces I have a very loud voice. Then play ground was silent as I made sure they knew in no uncertain terms if it carried on the there would be no police or school involvement but I would leave them alone and kill a member of their family each week. Bullying stopped but I ended up with a police caution.

Go round and demand that they sort it out; every school has an anti-bullying policy and a duty of care to adhere to it. Trust me, they will do something if you show up and speak with the head of school.

i tried that approach when my daughter who is in year two was grabbed round the neck by a boy from year 4 who done it because the bully from year two told him to do it, i went fucking mental at them!!

have things changed?

sadly not, she is still telling me stories of what’s happening to her by these other kids. only monday i was told by the after school club that she fell over in the yard and needed an ice pack, wasn’t till i got home that she told me she was tackled to the floor by two boys, one of them 2 years older than her

just wait till i speak to them after the easter break.

What does that teach the children?

That there is always a bigger bully out there.. what it feels like to get bullied... do not bully another kid again!"

That's a horrible position to put the child you are paying in, what's that teaching them, it's okay to give someone a kicking if you are being paid too? What sort of adult do you think that you're helping to shape.

At the age of 6 my boy was starting to be bullied. I suggested he punched the bully in the face as hard as possible. Hey presto - no more bullying. [I'll standby for criticism from tree hugger types ??] At the same time he started Taekwondo. He's 13 now and grading for black belt in 3 weeks.

I bought the mum some flowers and dragged my daughter to his house to apologise.

For the mum to tell me they had been playing the same ‘game’ on the street outside her house the day before and it was just a game.

I felt a bit harsh but you know what, they might be gay, they might be a tree hugging hippy, they might be ANYTHING they want to in this world BUT no child of mine Is gonna be a bully. Xx

Our secondary school is pretty good at tackling problems and nipping them in the bud, if in the instance where the school were not helping, I'd me more inclined to start with the parents, and let them know I'd go to the police if their child didn't stop. Ultimately I think these bullies are trying to hurt others to make them feel better, because of how they've been treated.

Violence doesn’t help. You’re only showing yourself to be a bigger bully.

Not all bullying is physical so size doesn’t matter. My daughter ended up missing a lot of school due to cyber bullying.

It’s not always easy to sort but a few Home truths to the parent worked wonders!

I imagine confronting the parents is a total ‘schroedingers’ experience.

They’ll even be like me and buy you a bottle of wine and feel guilty as sin or they’ll tell you to get the hell of their doorstep and really not care.

There’ll too be the ‘inbetweeners’ that do care but don’t really do owt. I suppose you don’t know what you’ll be confronted with do you. Xx

I would contact the parents. Some parents have no idea that their child is bullying someone and are mortified when they find out and in these cases the child doesn't want their parents to find out. So they'll provide the best punishment.

Yes, there are some parents that couldn't care less, so depending on what it is outside of school I'd contact the police, that would be enough to scare most kids, not all, but most.

What does that teach the children?

That there is always a bigger bully out there.. what it feels like to get bullied... do not bully another kid again!

Pay kids to do their shit?

Just get your kid to do it themselves.

Some kids do not have the physicalities to protect them selves... what if it’s a young girl getting bullied by older kids... bigger kids.. gang of kids against one..

I was always a tiny kid. Was under 5ft4 until around year 9.

My mum put me into martial arts as I was a hyperactive kid. 6 against 1 still did nothing for them.

And also if you fight you get respect from the other kids. They will stand up for you. My sister at 12 got ganged up on by 3 girls bigger than her. I was teaching her mma from when she could crawl, Same with my brother.

She smached them all in, 2 lasses had to get stitches in there faces. "

The ultimate aim of martial arts is not having to use them.

Happened to my sister's child. They done everything they could to stop it. Contacted parents who made up excuses for the child. The school kept saying they were sorting it but yet the bullying continued. Went above the schools head to the department of education. They decided the school was doing enough. My sister and her husband were at theirs wits end.

The husband decided to pay a bit from 6th class in another school to beat him up on the way home from school and tell him not to touch his friend again. After that the boy in question never so much as looked at him again.

I certainly never raised a gentle 'Angel' and that's quite an annoying thing for you to say. I didn't expect to drop my children off when they were in primary school though for them to have to tolerate physical and mental abuse from another child.

"My child is being bullied in school. She's 5. I have, at various times, notified each of her teachers and teaching assistants. One morning I saw one of the child's mothers and had a quiet polite word (My little one was still with me and was already upset enough at the notion of sharing air with the little cow). Said mother reacted with "I'll go and tell the little fucker now". I followed her into the classroom with my child to see her tearing into the teacher. Later that day I was called into the heads office (never when I was at school though. I was SUCH a good girl. She tried telling me they had not been informed of this previously (utter bollocks) but would now keep an extra close eye on it. To which I told her she was talking horsefeathers and if she were unable to sort it then I would. Fast forward to the following Tuesday, I saw said child giving mine grief at the window when she was waiting to wave to me, as I had left via the entrance near to that window I heard mine ask to be left alone. No teachers were monitoring the situation then. Both mothers have been attending school together, and bringing others up as reinforcements should I kick off. I rang school last Tuesday and spoke to the head. I simply said it was still happening and they were on their last warning. Anymore and id sort it. My ex told me on Sunday that our child had reported recent happenings to him. So, even though it's not my place - yes really, it's not my place to sort out something happening to MY child - on a regular basis - then, come a week on Monday there will be hell on. School have had since September and they ain't getting anymore. Little bastard needs boundaries - and to leave my kid the fuck alone. Incidentally, said kid has been in trouble for the same thing already.

Ask for the schools bullying policy.

Put your concerns in writing to the teachers, head and chair of governors. Ask for a meeting with them all and at that meeting tell them if it isn't sorted you will refer your concerns upwards (it should tell you where and who in the anti bullying policy).

As a last resort with children so young approach the police schools liaison officer. If you do this be prepared to be persona non grata in certain sections of the playground.

The mothers are sometimes worse, which is why I still keep myself to myself in the playground.

The parents often can't see their kids faults. I was quite happy for them to ignore me."

Sometimes I read things or hear things and it's as plain as the nose on my face that some parents are nightmares. Solve everything with bad language ( even against little children) and violence, then consider themselves great examples.

You're entitled to feel annoyed if you want to.

No I don't tolerate violence and wouldn't expect a child to.

I absolutely hate bullies so this is what I did when my son was being bullied.

I first approached the parents and kindly asked them to address this issue. They never so it continued, I then had a meeting with the head master. Still carried On, after finding a video on you tube these little fuckers had put on I decided to go round to the house and kick the fuckin shit out of the dad. Most satisfying and guess What? End of problem.

I can see why you did that. I can’t believe any parent would just let it ‘carry on’. I don’t get involved in ‘kid squabbles’ as they are usually friends again the next day and make you look a dick but that is something else. Bastards.

Believe me I didn't want to resort to that, was disgusted with myself but after them putting a video on you tube holding a knife saying they were going to kill my son I lost all sense of reason. The little bastard watched as I kicked his dad all over the street.

A lot of schools used to be very very good at brushing any 'issues' under a very big carpet.

I just hope that these days schools are more responsive to the needs of the children / students in thier care than their pathetic reputations and bottom lines.

"My daughter had a thing on her Snapchat story of a group of kids taking it in turns to pour water on some kid at the bus stop.

I cried.

I bought the mum some flowers and dragged my daughter to his house to apologise.

For the mum to tell me they had been playing the same ‘game’ on the street outside her house the day before and it was just a game.

I felt a bit harsh but you know what, they might be gay, they might be a tree hugging hippy, they might be ANYTHING they want to in this world BUT no child of mine Is gonna be a bully. Xx"

I respect that. x

Our school has an excellent bullying procedure & wellbeing team in place.

My son was bullied & they sorted it luckily.

At primary school I had to threaten to call in the police. The school then reviewed & updated it’s procedures.

When I was at school there was a lot of school v school fighting. Huge fights would take place after school on a Friday. They eventually frazzled out but the legend lives on.

I'm ashamed to say I was a bully, not physically but mentally. there was a boy at school who was really poor and I used to join in the name calling with the other kids just to make me popular with them. He lived in my street too. I didn't mean no harm by it and was too young to realise what I was doing was wrong. 8 or 9 I think I was, but a few of the other kids at school ganged up on him once and I stepped in to help him as 3 onto one boy wasn't fair and they were hurting him. We became good friends and he was actually my best man when me and Ali married. I'm ashamed of what I called him and how upset I made him but pleased I correct my wrongs, and got to know him. He's a diamond of a bloke.

Thanks for that. Don't forget you were 8 or 9. You did have morals but the moral courage to stand by them took maturity.

The man you are is not the child you were...... xx

No one is born a gentle angel. There are some parents who think their children are just perfect.

They're all human. Even the ones bullied by their families until they become bullies.

Then everyone expects schools to sort them.

I was bullied mercilessly in and out of school, the school did nothing, I eventually lost it and took out the biggest bully in a fight which was very brutal.... no-one touched me after that.

My kids started to go through a similar thing, so we went to the school, who wer'nt much use, so I taught my kids self-defence.

A few months down the line, both my kids "resolved" the issues... no more bullying.

I dislike violence, would much rather everyone could just get along, but once you have tried talking, sometimes there is only one other option.

"My child is being bullied in school. She's 5. I have, at various times, notified each of her teachers and teaching assistants. One morning I saw one of the child's mothers and had a quiet polite word (My little one was still with me and was already upset enough at the notion of sharing air with the little cow). Said mother reacted with "I'll go and tell the little fucker now". I followed her into the classroom with my child to see her tearing into the teacher. Later that day I was called into the heads office (never when I was at school though. I was SUCH a good girl. She tried telling me they had not been informed of this previously (utter bollocks) but would now keep an extra close eye on it. To which I told her she was talking horsefeathers and if she were unable to sort it then I would. Fast forward to the following Tuesday, I saw said child giving mine grief at the window when she was waiting to wave to me, as I had left via the entrance near to that window I heard mine ask to be left alone. No teachers were monitoring the situation then. Both mothers have been attending school together, and bringing others up as reinforcements should I kick off. I rang school last Tuesday and spoke to the head. I simply said it was still happening and they were on their last warning. Anymore and id sort it. My ex told me on Sunday that our child had reported recent happenings to him. So, even though it's not my place - yes really, it's not my place to sort out something happening to MY child - on a regular basis - then, come a week on Monday there will be hell on. School have had since September and they ain't getting anymore. Little bastard needs boundaries - and to leave my kid the fuck alone. Incidentally, said kid has been in trouble for the same thing already.

Ask for the schools bullying policy.

Put your concerns in writing to the teachers, head and chair of governors. Ask for a meeting with them all and at that meeting tell them if it isn't sorted you will refer your concerns upwards (it should tell you where and who in the anti bullying policy).

As a last resort with children so young approach the police schools liaison officer. If you do this be prepared to be persona non grata in certain sections of the playground."

Thank you - played nice for 7 months now though. I am going to be having words with the child's mothers when they go back. Actually. I'm going to ask the head to ask them to come in so we can all have a chat together, if that request is refused then I'll just bawl them out at pickup time. I'm sick of it

Instruct a solicitor and withhold the fees until a satisfactory outcome is reached.

Up on them there hills

Start with the senco, who should, depending on the size of the school start sorting things.

If not., bring it to the SLT, if that doesn’t work, the head.

If nothing happens, inform the chair of governors.

If nothing happens, change school.

It's a difficult thing to deal with, my mum was the type who would go into school and demand the teachers do something about it, after which the bullying would get ramped up even more as they don't take kindly to getting "grassed on". I wasn't badly bullied at school but there were a few periods of time when it started and I dreaded going. By the time I'd got to 14/15 I was reasonably friendly with a few of the popular or "hard" kids so I tended to get left alone. If I could live those days again but with the advantage of knowing what I know now I'd have just punched the bullies.

I read somewhere if you want an official route go straight to the board of governers and bypass teachers and the head if nothing has been done. It has to be dealt with along a different route then

Kids are vile and have been forever. I remember the whole school gang wars when I was there. Dealt with by police but was like a badge of honour and still had to be done every once in a while by the 'tough' lads

Being bullied,You either develop a heart of stone to ignore it or become good with your fists. Neither is ideal

We went to the governors and received a letter from the chair explaining that as our son had been seen playing football with the boy who we claimed was bullying him he wasn't being bullied. We then requested a face to face meeting and were asked patronisingly if it was high spirits. I rarely get angry but I did that day.

When your child is being bullied it's nearly impossible to get it dealt with by the school or governors.

Reading this thread has actually made me really sad. School should be a place of learning, a place where happy memories are made.

I work in a primary school and visit others as a part of my job. None locally have any issues with bullying. Issues are quickly and effectively dealt with, usually by the class teacher.

Hearing of children and parents needing to resort to threats of and actual violence is just wrong on so many levels.

All schools will have a policy to cover bullying. Usually it begins with the class teacher and quickly can escalate up through the head techer, governors, ofstead and LEA.

I remember at my secondary school some of the teachers were terrified of the parents of the bullies, they were the ones who would actually come in to school and threaten the teachers and were well known for being hard/rough, so quite often the teacher would turn a blind eye when the little darling was being disruptive or bullying other pupils in their lessons.

"My Niece is currently being bullied. She’s 5 and teeny tiny for her age. It breaks my heart.

Kids are twats now a days. Not quite as bad as when I was in school though.

They really are!

They're fucking worse.

Trust me they aren't.

At my school they'd be weekly riots in the school group because me and a Pakistani lad would start fighting. He started on me btw.

Riot police would have to come and split it up. Got to the point where the police would have sit outside of the school for before school, break, lunch and after school.

Kids now are all mouth and no bite.

That still happens. I was caught up in an incident with my granddaughter and some girls recently. There were 3 of them trying to beat her up with a mob of about 30 behind them. The 3 girls (one huge and bigger than me) kept rushing at me trying to get to her. 4 men and a plain clothes police officer struggled to keep them off, with me. The worry now is whether they are carrying knives. She said nan, if you weren't there they would have fucked me up.

Thats nothing I'm talking 4 to 500 students fighting with metal, woods, glass and whatever.

Weekly! Blimey.

Maybe monthly at that scale. But was about 100 to 150 on a weekly.

That's awful.

My school days are like Mallory Towers compared to that. I went to quite a sedate all girls school and remember being quite surprised when my youngest brother watched Grange Hill and said it was realistic .

I'm from Bradford. Thats all you need to know. "

I was teaching in schools in Bradford around the time you'd have been there... Only riot I ever heard of was at St Bede's Catholic school. Is that where you went?
