DS11 and several other boys in his year at boarding school have been repeatedly "bullied" (although school says it isn't bullying, "just" verbal and physical aggression) by a boy in their year. This has been going on for two years or so, since they started at school. Parents and boys have all complained, repeatedly. The school is getting a complaint at least every two weeks about this boy. He's hitting, kicking, violent against property, biting, yelling, threatening to kill people, etc.
Supposedly the school is taking action. The boy is in clear violation of the school rules and could under these rules easily be expelled. Apparently there's more going on than meets the eye. What could possibly prevent an independent school from expelling a child like this? He's not well-connected or anything. I suspect that there is some sort of legal protection in place because he has some sort of diagnosis?
I'm just trying to figure out what's going on here.
