My Son Is Being Bullied and School Isn't Helping – Seeking Advice on Next Steps

@mila but surely school shoukd deal with bullies? They all anti-bullying on their own website but none actually follow through with it, why should a child who's been bullied after leave??
Those who bully should be made to stand in front of the whole school. Disgusting.
 
@neghvar what about the parents? It’s not just the school’s responsibility. At 9 years old he should know how his actions can impact others, this is a parents job, not the schools. The school should be bringing the parents in and addressing it with them and the bully.
 
@neghvar they should be and named and shamed and made to move....but it never happens ...it's always the one being bullied that has to change. I guess coz easier to control 1 well behaved child than a group of vile thugs
 
@neghvar yip there’s no shame for bullies anymore. Too many people want to make excuses for their nasty behaviour. You’re right they should be called out in front of everyone and this would hopefully discourage others from doing it also.
 
@neghvar they don't take that approach. They try to forge a better relationship between them. I know because that's all my grandson was offered and he was bullied by a teacher!
 
@neghvar my son has been bullied in three different settings. Nursery, primary and secondary and nobody dealt with it properly. Safeguarding…my arse
 
@bzeeck that is not good at all. I've also found them who are bullies when the table is turned all of a sudden school become interested.
Sometimes the only to deal with bullies is to get the ring leader on their own and stand up to them, bullies only seem to work with others to get them on their own some shit themselves without the gang egging them on.
 
@neghvar schools do have a duty to stop bullying but they never do I called the police down to my daughter's school due to her being racially and physically bullied to the point I was scared for her safety, the teachers even tried to condone the bullying infront of the police until the police officer stated the bullying was in deed a crime due to assault and racism they shouldn't be trying to condone the behaviour but actually educate their students about bullying and crime as surely that's what their job is. I think he also so harsh as this wasn't the first case either and they were more worried about the schools rep than the actual students
 
@hewill001 they sure do yes, again they don't. But your right if adult was bullying in the workforce they would be dismissed or the police involved and should be even for kids
 
It makes me so sad to see posts like this and they are becoming more and more common. What's happened to be kind 🙁 they are at school more than home so should be a safe space and enjoyable. Just remember he is lucky to have you to love and care for him and do right for him. A parent is the best support ever as with them through thick and thin. I hope this all gets sorted and he becomes happier. All the best to you and have the best Christmas xx
 
Please don't be worried about getting into trouble. Your son has a right to feel safe. Speak to the attendance officer at the school and tell them what's happening and that he will not be going until things have been sorted out.
