Dd2 sprained her ankle at school in a PE lesson last week. It is a bad sprain and has been very painful for dd. She couldn't go to school for two days last week and one day this week because it simply hurt too much for her to be able to walk enough. Yesterday she went back with a walking stick to help her balance. We have taken her to A&E, it's been x-rayed and she has exercises to do. She's got through a lot of pain medication over the last few days. This morning she struggled to get out of bed because it was so sore (having stiffened up over night). Poor lamb sat on the edge of her bed and cried. Then she got up and got on and as the stiffness eased she felt she could manage at school. She's done really well but on the way home told me that whilst everybody else has been supportive one girl had told her repeatedly that she was faking it for attention and then started making faces at her. ( They are 11 btw - not primary age) I am livid about this and I've rung the school to report it. I hope they will treat it seriously as imo telling somebody they are faking an injury or illness is a really horrible way to behave. Dd is temporarily incapcitated but is this how this girl would treat the disabled too? I feel her ideas need adjusting sharpish. Or AIBU and over-reacting because I'm upset to see my sweet, active daughter in pain?

AIBU?
to report this child to the school because she's accused my dd of 'faking' an injury.
