Default Great birthday present..

It was my son's birthday yesterday (12)..

On the way back home from school, he was beaten up by two lads quite severely and unprovoked. His friends just watched. Apparently, they've been goading him for awhile.

I wanted to get the police involved but he didn't want me to call. As far as I'm concerned this is assault. If not bothered this time but I have said if it happens again I will have no hesitation, providing there are witnesses and he hasn't provoked them. In the meantime, my wife has written to the school.. not that they can do much.

How ironic it was his birthday and nation anti-bullying week.

I felt for him last night.. I really did.

Bullying's an awful thing to happen to anyone.

Black eye, headache and broken pride I think.

Always a tough one to deal with.. Maybe you could advise what our options are?

As I don't deal directly with the kids most of the time I'm not really up on what school policy is over bullying I'm afraid. I'll point Lynne this way, she'll give a better answer than I could.

Headache - I'd advise that you take him the doctors

As for contacting school - ring them, to tell them and inform a letter is also on the way. If they are from the same school / school in the area contact them.

These lads need dealing with!
If the school cannot provide any answers then go to the police. There is CCTV everywhere now and in my school we stand for none of this and it is dealt with.

If there is a good head at the school then they should be deal with this and be aware of this. plus if he has a black eye teachers will ask questions about what happened and it's always easier imo for the pupil for school to know than have to tell the story to 10 teachers!

Sorry I'm not sure what other advise you're after hun, hope he's ok xx
