Hi Im new here so please go easy.
The issue is my ds he was diagnosed type 1 diabetic last year i have been going in school each day as school would not have insulin needles on premises.
Frustrating but did for 7 months in this time he has been told he cant test his bloods he cant snack he cant drink he can treat hypos alone etc each time the diabetic nurse has told them look this is his life thats how it has to be please make it easy (he is 8 btw) throughout this slowly he lost friends they call him a baby as his mum goes in each day etc.
Just before xmas they finally said ok we will do it so nhs trained 2 teaching assistants brill to sit and watch as precaution thats all it needs.
Things started happening small things like he has to eat straight after injection they started doing it earlier than his class sitting so he eats alone.
Missed xmas party because although its a myth that diabetics have special food, children have to have fast acting insulin before anything that contains over 20g of carbs.
The school said they only had staff too oversee one injection per day (he injects himself from day one). Bullying got worse then last week he got kicked in tummy right where he injects it was sore so he told TA the one who sits with him her reply was well you should not have been fighting and off she went it was a trainee girl who sent him for ice pack.
Needless to say i complained mistake!
She denied it ,said she told him to get ice pack when i insisted look he insists you said it,since that day he has been blamed for taking ruler in play ground and hitting everyone by same TA but she never approached him and removed it he denies it he got sent to to deputy heads class about 3 times and shouted at in front of whole class for fighting he has never been in trouble in his life in school. Teachers have said quite the opposite he has literally been blamed for everything that happens on playground even other parents are shocked as the kids say he has not been fighting just the boys he has problems with have. Then finally after yet another attack off a boy who is very loud the same TA goes up to my son in the line from behind gets his arm leads him up the corridor backwards without a word takes him to DH class who balls and shouts about the whole school having enough of him gave him letter home and told him to write how he was fighting at lunchtime and his behavior is unacceptable.
I went in and complained that he felt intimidated and and i would not pull him by arm they should not either she denied it.
He asked to talk to them, said he wanted to tell them, when we got there it was 2 governors 2 teachers and ta. Head said he was lying the ta actually said dont you remember i held your hand as you looked upset i explained you remember it wrong he stood up and said yes you did then you told me to sign the letter,the head said to him your lying he said again no i am not that is what happened ta started crying saying you have upset me.
He looked and said do you think i like being hit day after day but you do nothing?
head looked and told me that it needs addressing that he is obviously lying.
I have never seen him more grown up and adamant about anything he left and said he wants to leave and now is petrified of what the teachers will say to him.
Please help any suggestions would be appreciated.
