You as a parent need to over-react! (Take action!) No one touches our children. Remember, it is vital that you over react because the problem must be stopped immediately.
First you need to talk to your child and find out who is doing this to him or her. Your child my be difficult with you at first because most kids are ashamed to let their parents know what awful things have been done to them. You must press on and find out all the details. If still time, respond to the school that day. If not then go early the next morning. You do not want to talk to anyone except the principle only (and scream bloody murder).
Once again, over-react. If you try the gentle approach with the school, little if anything will be done. You go to that school and demand for that bully to be taken out of that class or to be expelled from school. We take no prisoners when it comes to our children’s safety and well-being. Go all out….threaten law suits against the school and against the parents of the bully if there is even the slightest bullying against your child. If you don’t get the results you want, then go to the school board, pursue legal action. Please note that any unwanted touching from another is assault & battery for all ages. A police report can even be taken out on this incident.
Make sure that after you have reacted to this incident, you go back to that school and follow-up. Anyone putting their hands on your child is not to be tolerated. You as the parent need to put lots of attention on solving the problem. If you ignore it, your child could at the least suffer lower self-esteem, poor grades, little self-confidence and a future of the same. At worse, your child could be physically hurt, or could even be killed (NOT AN OPTION!).
So readers, keep a close eye on your children. No guessing, know what is going on in your child’s life. Get involved in their school and all their activities. Know who their friends are and find out where your children hang out. It is your responsibility to protect your children at all times. Remember that “Action is quicker than Re-action!”
