My son was cut at school?

Question

My son has been coming home with bruises & scrapt up knees. Than yesturday came home with his arm sliced open. He told me a kid's been bullying him & yesturday CUT his arm from his wrist to his elbow with his fork in the lunchroom. My son told me he's been telling the teacher but she does nothing. So today I confronted his teacher & the princible about this & wanted to know why I wasn't called & to see what they're doing about this & they said they knew nothing of the matter even though my son told me his teacher saw his arm after lunch & his friend Daton saw the whole thing. I called the Super Attentent & all they're gonna do is have the princible (who my son swears already knew & did nothing) do a investigating & call this boys parents. They princible told me she will not remove this boy from the class & can't promise there won't be anymore confrontations or injuries. This isn't right. What can I do? Police, news channels, lawyer?

Answer 1

I agree, call the police. You don't need the schools support to file charges!

Answer 2

Similar stuff happened to my son when he was younger. He was taking off his shirt and I noticed all of these bruises on his back, arms and stomach and I was VERY UPSET. When I questioned my son about this he said a "friend' at school was karate kicking him and it was no big deal. I told him it was a big deal and my husband and I were in the principal's office the next day. The principal was really worried about what happened with Alex and removed the kid from school for a day and then moved him into the other 5th grade class. If they didn't take immediate action I would have gone to the police the same day. I think you should take action immediately as I think your son's situation is much more serious than my son's was...that kid needs to be kicked out of school if he is causing those kinds of serious problems. GOOD LUCK.

Answer 3

The teacher saw the arm, that doesn't mean your son told her what happend. What kind of forks are they using is your son has actually been cut - or did you mean scraped?



Call the police and report the assault. Not gonna make life any easier for your son but if it's proved to be the kid he says it is and it happens a few more times you might be able to get a restraining order to force the kid to change schools - and then another bully will pick up where he left off.

Answer 4

Call the Board of Education. Call the Governor...& call the police...file a report! A police report is very important at this time. This will keep a trail of activity. Also, similar thing happened to my son, we told him to look at the bully and say in a firm voice - STOP. I have warned you, next time, I will take action. If this happens and your son gets in trouble at the school, call board of education! Just make sure you document EVERYTHING! The bully will keep up his crap if he thinks he can get away with it....Make sure you tell the Principal that if they can not take care of the problem at hand that you will be forced to take it to the next step. But, please get the events documented with the Police department!



Good luck!

Answer 5

I think we all have times where we feel stress and need some time off to just relax and play. I think children are not immune from the stressers and probably have a lot more than parents are willing to admit. I know I would allow my child to have some time off from time to time for downtime and heck if they want to play all day then that is fine. I know my Mom allowed us girls to have some time off from school and cut once inawhile for one thing or another.

Answer 6

there are anti bullying laws in all states

you need to go to the police file charges

go to a lawyer file a suit for failure to protect

call child services

also get in touch with the DEPT of LAW and EDUCATION

THEY REGULATE THE SCHOOLS

your sons safety is at risk and your school has a jack a** for a principal

don't back down

Answer 7

You are lucky that you and your son have a close relationship because some kids will slip into a depression from the bullying, this is the beginning stages of school shootings and the teacher need to identify this behavior soon.

Answer 8

the boy should be expelled it's 0 tolerance in my state. call the police-protect your son

Answer 9
