The head-teacher at my ds's school makes me feel uncomfortable by his behaviour. He man-handles the children and not in a friendly way. He picked up a boy, and forced him to sit on his lap while the boy was screaming "no no". He didn't let him go, and kept him there, restraining him with his arms.
He also physically handles my son, and the last time I saw this, I moved my son away quickly. I have spoken to my son about this, and he says that the HT has never handled him physically, but it would be difficult to ask my ds, because he has as, and so doesn't report things accurately anyway. But the incident with the boy is very disturbing.
Is it appropriate for the HT to handle a child like this. At the least it was humiliating for the boy, but I am worrying about whether it is assault.
