My daughter has been acting out alot at school the last few weeks. In school suspensions, detetentions... etc. She's never displayed this kind of behavior before, it just came on suddenly. I've had at least 4 calls from the vice principal in the last 2 weeks.
Today she calls me to tell me she saw these brusies on her shoulders, by her collar bone. She was concerned... I told her I hadn't seen any marks, I will talk to her when she came home.
OMG! She has 2 huge bruises on her, bright red and swollen. You could clearly see the hand print like someone had grabbed her very hard.
She was terrified to tell me what happened. She tried making up stories like she got hit with a ball in gym. There's no possible way she got that from a ball.
FINALLY I got out of her that there's a boy in one of the classes above her, either 7th or 8th grade, that has just been tormenting her. Apparently because she likes twilight and dresses a lil differently, she's a "freak"
She was visibly shaking and sobbing when she finally came clean about it.
He calls her a ho, vampire slut, freak, and a few others I can't mention. He's hit her when she walks by. And this time, in the hallway, he grabbed her and pushed her against the wall. Thats how she got those bruises. They are literally 3" x 4" bruises that look like hand prints.
He tells her that if she ever tells anyone, he's coming after her and it'll be even worse.
She doesn't know his name tho...
I called the principal and told her the story, we're going in monday morning to look thru year book photos.
And then if we can't identify him, I swear I am walking up in every single class room until I find this lil jerk!
I took her to the police station to make a report and take photos.
I told the cops too, what if this kid has a lil sibling at home that he's beating up. Or maybe this boy is getting beat by his parents. Or maybe he's just really that screwed up that he beats up little girls. Either way, there needs to be an investigation.
So now the police and children protective services are involved.
Now her behavior at school lately all makes sense...

OMG Jill!!!
Well, add this to the to-do list. When you find out who the boy is, consider threatening and filing a civil lawsuit against the parents, and the school for not seeing that your child is being accosted and molested physically and verbally while on their premises and in their care. SOMEBODY has seen all this go on.

I agree that probably a lot of people knew this is going on. The heck of it is that the teachers and on campus adults sometimes are just as big a bully as some of the students. And a lot of them are just as scared of the bullies as the students are.

I think it is in part because the schools are too big and the student teacher ratio's are ridiculus.

Hopefully things will straighten out soon. Sorry it happen to your kid. Tell her she is very brave and a good citizen to tell you and the school the truth.

I think it is your duty and responsibility to protect your daughter . I do no see why you interfere in his family's
life . Of course your daughter should have told you earlier instead of LYING to you . So she has a problem lying too .

I think it would be a rush to judgment to sue his parents without first knowing all the details(not just one side)...remember, his parents probably care about him too and although we parents do our best we are not omniscient or able to know EVERYTHING our child does. I think a suit against the school would also be a waste of time as it is most likely not against the law for the school to be unaware of EVERYTHING every student is doing. The lawsuit would be appropriate IF the abuse was brought to the attention of school officials and THEN they did nothing about it. Them not knowing is not against any law.

SOMEONE does know all this went on and the OP is following the right course working WITH the school to correct the situation instead of involving herself in more Fighting.

No, my daughter does not have a lying problem. She was terrified into covering for him in threat of being beat up. There is a huge differece.

I am giving the school every opportunity to do an investigation, find out who the kid is, and handle this matter. If needed, I will file a restraining order on the kid so he has to go to a different school
School kids pickin on each other is one thing. She's a tough lil girl. There's teasing and rough housing. But this, this was none one tho. What happened to her was clear act of violence. If he was an adult, he would be in jail.

IDK what goes on in his home, maybe this is normal behavior. Maybe his parents have no idea. But clearly this boy needs to be investigated and find out what's going on before he gets even worse.

That is totally uncalled for!

Obviously you have no idea about abuse, violence and bullying.

I personally think you need to apologize to Jill for your comment!

As someone that was tormented like that throughout school, I can sympathize. I hope that the kid responsible and his parents are both held accountable.

I think you're doing it just right

especially to teach her that when she is being bullied or threatened the worst thing to do is to cover it up

I had a kid do that to me in school. told me not to tell anyone, but I waited until he was opening his locker and not looking and whacked across the back of his head as hard as I could with a Geography book. and then kicked him four or five times after he fell down

I got in a LOT of trouble (especially cause I wouldnt tell em why I did it). But he never bothered me again. and for that matter nobody ever bothered me again

but I wouldn't recomend that for her. cause she's a girl and she would get in a LOT of trouble

I am so sorry to hear that Jill. It's hard for a parent to know their kids have been through that. My son used to get picked on (but stood up to them) because he would hang around those that were considered geeks or whatever. I had always taught him that everyone needs a friend and if you judge someone based on looks then you could be missing out on a wonderful friend.

You just do whatever you have to for your child. I hope she is ok.flowerforyou

So many kids are not like their parents . They bring trouble to themselves and others . They do not listen to their parents . they hate school. They bully people .....etc .I saw time and time again some very nice parents with terrible kids . Parents can just do so much and I really take issue with all those who jump on the parents and how they should act here and there . Kids are like adults and everyone has his or her own mind . Sometimes two brothers with the same parents, the same food, the same environment but one is excellent and one is terrible . Ah.....! life is full of complexity .

Wow, I am really sorry that you are going through this. I just went through something like this with my son, so I had a meeting with the principle and 2 counselors. They said that my son is a big target for bullies because he is shy and keeps his head down...so basically they said it was his own fault. I told them to do something before I did. What they did was go out in the halls more and watch...it was taken care of because my son does not mind going to school anymore.
You can bet your sweet behind that the teachers knew it was going on, I think they just don't know what to do about it. Some teachers are afraid of the students and they don't know what to do with them. Kids today are pretty uncontrollable..isn't that a shame?
I think you should do everything within your power to protect your child. Make a police report and don't stop bugging the school. You need to keep records and have someone sign them that this did happen, that way you have proof. Trust me, things have a way of getting covered up at school.
Good luck
