My step son is being bullied again, he is 8. He has already been moved schools because of it, so we are not wanting to move him again (we being his mother and his father, not me).
He got strangled two weeks ago and pushed and punched by this particular boy. It has started again and now step son is refusing to go to school and is constantly in tears. Mum has done everything by the book, reported etc.
This boy is known well to the school, the head described him as "having problems which we are working on" he has two "yellow cards" at the moment and one more incident and he'll have to be removed.
What would you do? This "two yellow card" thing has been going on for months so they are not following through, by strangling other pupils surely he is putting them at risk and the school are not fully protecting its students just because this particular boy has problems. If he does, which I'm not disputing, surely he should be somewhere where he isn't going to be a danger to other children and to get some professional help whilst he is there.
I now have a very upset 8 year old step-son who detestes going to school so much he's started making himself sick as he knows he can't go into school for 48 hours.
What would you do? There's nothing we can do on our part, apart from tell him to keep away which he does. The school aren't taking this seriously enough I don't think but there's nothing again we can do to make them take action. :( Would just like some advice from other professionals.
