Although I hesitate to mention this - I would consider reporting the assault to the police.

Nothing gets me going more than parents calling the Police to a school to sort out 'bullying' - total waste of time.

However, when bones start being broken, that crosses the line if there is any suspicion of intent/recklessness.

They will be obliged to act regardless of the school's wishes.

Something to consider, if only to use as a bigger stick to wave at them.

I realise you are very switched on & already have consulted your solicitor - as a detective sergeant with 20+ in the police would be glad to help

Hope it works out.

As a parent currently dealing with a situation like this with both the school and the police involved you need to realise that mental abuse is just as bad as physical in some cases and it is unfortunate that the current situation that the only way that anything can be done is by getting the police involved. Give the schools back the powers to deal with trouble properly rather than the teachers being critisised for not doing anything.

The lad involved in our case got a two day exclusion because that is all that they can dish out so basically he got a long weekend off.

The police are involved through graffiti and comments on BEBO stating my wife is dealing drugs and my 14 year old daughter is carrying out practices that I cannot mention on here due to decency and yet we may need to change her school, our phone number or move house due to this malicious, slandering little s*** as there is not much that the current legal system can do.

Fin,

Best of luck with the case and keep your cool or you will be the one charged.

Bullies usually have a few victims. It may be worth the others getting together with their heads covered, get the bully alone and beat him up.

This usually cures bullying, worked for me twice, one beaten up near home,  the other I started to strangle at school!

Unfortunately already been "advised" against this. My wife even enquired if we could paint out the graffiti but were told we would be charged with vandalism. You just cannot win.

Thanks guys. Police have been involved from 10 minutes after this happened. The total numberv of people present was around 100, of which around 15-20 were the other persons mates egging them on.

What you are missing here is that my son is very well known. he has appeared on television many times and is regarded as a very high achiever to put it mildly. Appart from attending Warwick university at 14 and being a concert level pianist, he is ultra intelligent and is a world record holder as he is still the youngest person ever to join Mensa.

All these things add up to one very smart young man. He is also a 2nd Dan Black Belt in Karate and is very capable of dealing with violence. He tried to avoid it in this case because his attacker was a girl (albeit a very nasty one). Hence why he retalitaed to the third assault with throwing half a bottle of water at her and the group. It was because of this that the school tried to punish my son.

I have informed the school head teacher (who is inept) that next time he has my full backing and suppoirt to retaliate to violence with sufficient violence to prevent further injury.

The whole thing leaves a nasty taste in the mouth. Of course I am not looking at this through blinkers. I know exactly what my son is like and how he behaves. He is a genuinely lovely young man and was picked on by a half baked moron simply because he is smart.

Laidback knows my son very well and I am sure he will vouch for his attitude, temprement and general manner.

Graffiti removal or hiding is not vandalism - try paint similar in colour!

Dealing with bullies requires alibis and hide the face (unlike the days of old when hitting a bully was acceptable)
