Our son is getting bullied at school and on line angryfire

It has been going on for quite a while. The school has stepped in in the past, which helped briefly, but today things went way too far (on-line)
Fortunately, we managed to grab screenshots of what went on. These are saved on this PC and have been put onto a CD which I will take into school tommorow and show to the head teacher.

I will want to see some rapid action taken.

I'm not a happy bunny at all angryfire

Bullying in any form is dispicable but when your child has special needs it seems to me to be much worse.

I hope swift action is taken by the school and the bullies parents and that it can be resolved quickly.

Here's a link that may have some advice.

Thanks for the replies and link.
I spoke to the Head Teacher this morning. Later in the day he telephoned me to say that the other boys parents where going to be hauled into school today.

Long story short, the boys parents where mortified to learn what thier son had been saying. The Head Teacher also reassured me that a close eye would be kept on the situation and further behaviour such as this is totally unnacceptable and would not be tolorated.

Hopefully, that will be the end of it, though we will be very very wary and will keep a very close eye on events.

If anything untowards happens again we will be straight back into school!

Wish us luck!

well thats a good result from school and shows they take the matter seriously, although of course they should do, but that doesnt happen in all schools unfortunately. are you meeting up with the other childs parents or are the school dealing with it themselves.
