My eldest daughter has just started in year 5. She is 9 years old. She is bright (on the G&T list), has lots of friends and one of the most highly regarded pupils in the school by the teachers.
Since she was at nursery another girl has picked on her. Just little things, picking the plastic off her hair slides, purposely daubing paint on her clothes etc.
All through school they have been in the same class. The little things are turning into bigger and bigger things.
A couple of years ago she was telling people that I had "hurt her" at nursery. I apparently grabbed her and cut her wrist. I tried speaking to her and said I never touched her and (nursery files if they still have them will back me up) I rarely if ever took my daughter to nursery or collected her. My mum dropped her off on her way to work and my husband collected her on his way home. I suspect she has confused me with a similar looking nursery assistant but she kept on making the allegations.
Regular bouts of bullying continued through the years. In the closing weeks of last term my eldest was hit, kicked, spat at and had her lunch stolen by this girl. The deputy head tried to phone her mother (they live near the school so never takes or collects her) but she said "you only ring me when she's been naughty" and hung up
Sometimes she bullies my very small for her age younger daughter.
First day back on monday and she started again. On tuesday I went in to school and the other deputy head said he would speak to her, keep her in at playtimes if she kept misbehaving etc.
Yesterday was OK, today she was swearing at my daughter.
Tonight my daughter went to the youth club which is at the school. This girl turned up. My daughter was pushed around and called names again.
It's not just my daughter. Other mums have complained yet nothing is done.
I've tried to be reasonable, when her mum split with her partner I put it down to that, when she had another baby I said try and be nice, she's not getting any attention at home, but I've run out of nice now.
She has been physically violent, stolen and lied. She's not got any special educational needs. She's simply horrible.
I've had enough but wonder just how awful you have to be to get excluded.
What do I do? Go above the school and contact the LEA? Social services? Go to the police next time she is assaulted by the girl?
Any advice please. (Apart from speak to the mother, tried that. She said she was just mucking around).
