Bully Part 2

I cannot even joke about part 2. The school is not stepping up. Our young 5 year old class thug has hit and punched others and is on a "behavioral modification" plan that seems to not include any behavioral modification.

Yesterday, when his parents forgot to pick him up at school again, he was left to run around the playground. When his aunt was called to come and get him, she arrived but stayed on her cell phone as he terrorized the play structure. The after-school care manager tried to get her to take the wild child away but she was waved off.

Finally, our young terrorist, knocked a boy off the play structure, sat on his head (on the cement) and bounced up and down nearly cracking his head open. The poor crushed boy reported later that he couldn't yell for help since the mean guy had his mouth covered and...he couldn't breath.

OK. I need to stop for a moment here. Now, many of you may say, well, at least now the school will take action. The answer is no, not really. I am out of town which is good since I don't honestly know what would happen if I were to go anywhere near the class teacher or the principal. I am very angry at so may levels.

So first of all, none of our kids are safe with this lack of care. Second, the 5 year old thug is left to be a thug when he is calling out for help-loudly. Yes, he needs help and our kids need protection from him at the same time. I remember this guy crying desperately on his first few days of class begging to come home (just like Max). They are not so different inside, just on how it manifests behaviorally.

Next steps planned are another school meeting-while I am gone, the other parent (the one who's kid could have been killed) is going to the police for help. And pressing charges against the school.

This was our first choice school. Boy, we fucked up.
