What is the name of your state? PA
Our neighbor has a son that happened to be in my son's class last year at school. They were in 1st grade. This boy has always been very mouthy and aggressive. There were many times he was sent to the principal's office (the first time he went was the first week of school). My kids would come home and tell me things that happened on the bus ride as well. Once, for no apparent reason, he took his metal lunch box and hit my son over the head with it (on the bus). Another time, he told my 4th grade daughter that she looked like a "pig's ass", which he had also told the bus driver, on occasion. Another time, he bit my son (left bruises, broke skin). My son ended up getting in trouble for that, as well, when all he was doing was holding this kid back from going after another boy in anger. And then, the last incident, the last straw, was a week before school let out when my son got off the bus and said, "Mom! Byron is telling everyone in school that I have sex with my sister!" I was on the phone with teachers, the principal, the guidance counselor (who chuckled at me and said, "kids use the F-word all the time and they don't know what it means"), and even the Sudent Services Coordinator at the District Offices. No one could tell me what was done about it. I found out through the grapevine that he missed yet another recess, that was it.
I am worried now that school is a week away. The principal has reassured me that her kids will not be in my kids' class but what can I do to protect them from further harrassment? The parents are unapproachable. I've tried to confront them the first few times but was only met with insults, accusations, and belittlement.
Thanks so much,
Jill
