Anyone able to advise me on a difficult situation with my step-son at his secondary school. Yesterday , my husband received a phone call from dss head of year regarding a message ( privately sent to another boy on Facebook) that was sent by him about a girl in his year . The message was derogatory and had nasty stuff and was explicit about her sexual behaviour with another boy . My stepson had sent the message after an incident that involved this girl and a group of her "friends" taunting my stepson about being gay and a "paki" at lunch break last Thursday . My stepson reported this incident to the same head of year and he (stepson) wrote a written account . My stepson has now been punished by having 2 days of inclusion as a result of private message he sent . I telephoned the teacher today and when I enquired whether the girl was reprimanded for her racist and homophobic taunts , she refused to answer saying she was not discussing another child's case !! We fully accept the wrong doing of our stepson in sending this nasty email, but it was a private message between him and his friend . I have read the bullying policy and the head of year did not follow this , as she did not inform us of the initial incident that my stepson reported . I am meeting with her on Friday with my stepson and husband , but I am disappointed that my stepson has to sit in inclusion again tomorrow , whilst the girl has not been punished . Any advice about where we stand with this would be appreciated .
