...my 6 year old has been bullied by the same boy since nursery. He often comes home black and blue but refuses to tell us what has happened (other parents tell me!) Despite me telling him repeatedly he never tells a teacher either. I have never confronted the boys mother becasue her attitude has always been "boys will be boys" and genuinely thinks that the teachers have "got a downer" on him this despite every techer he has had having probelms with his behaviour!
When they moved up to year 2 I specifically requested him not to be in this boys class I was so worried about it.
Anyway, this morning he told me that on thursday playtime this boy reapeatedly punched him in the stomach. He did tell a teacher (!) who told the boy off and made him say sorry but I am really fed up with this....My son is very quiet boy and although not perfect would not punch anyone.
Anyway, I had a word with this boys mum this morning and surprise surprise, she basically said "well they do like to play rough" and made it sound like I was being silly. Have just rung the school and explained the situation and am waiting for the head to call me back.
Am really furious with this woman - she said that it "wasnt done maliciously"!!!! FGS!! Wish I had not said anything and just spoke to the head. I knew what her attitude would be and yet I still said something...feel like an idiot.
What should I have done/do now????
