School Bullies, Parent is an even Bigger Bully....What to do???

Question

I feel my 8yr old daughter just isn't safe at school any more... To cut a long story short, my daughter was having issues with another girl in her class. It was reported to the teachers first and then to the Principle. We have always installed certain morals and principles in our daughter but the bullies Mother approached my 8yr old daughter the other day at school. Apparently her daughter was suspended but she blames my daughter and I might add, this had nothing to do with my child. This mother verbally and physically attacked my child and then threatened her right in front of me. Of course I reacted, reported the matter to the police and had my daughter moved to another class room but she is now so scared to go to school. I have to walk her everywhere just in case this physco Mother attacks her again and meanwhile the bully is smirking and laughing all along in the distance. My daughter is a prison in her own school. Should I move her to another school for her own safety? Thanks

Answer 1

I dealt with that knid of thing when my child was still in school, moving to another class the bully is still on campus and still around going to another school sometimes isn't the answer either because they are labeled by the school and peers they are coming from even though they are completely innocent and blameless. If it is possible to homeschool do it My child's self esteem is much higher and also scores 2-3 grades higher than when in traditional school because there is no more stress from peers.

Answer 2

She will be happier if you move her to another school she needs to get on with her schooling.

Answer 3

When u get bullied its not fun but when u become a prisoner then its time to take action so yes u need to transfer her

Answer 4

Yes...move her. You are not giving in...merely leaving the scum to it's own pond. I admire your strength...if that had been me I would have probably put the woman in hospital and ended up in prison...you have shown yourself the better person....in life, if there is something bad about a place that cannot be changed...we move on...that woman is the bad thing and since you cannot make her move..you go. One bad apple makes the whole box stink...you will show your daughter how to empower herself.

Answer 5

she needs to be moved. And the mother is where that child learned to bully- because the mother probably bullies her.

Answer 6

Why should your child move school this child and her mum need to be taught a lesson.If another childs mum hit my child i would flip out this is the only way people like her listen.School have not got a clue when it comes to bullies.

Answer 7

I think you should just move her to another school, not just for her safety but for her mental growth. That can not help her self esteem, i'm sure.

What is wrong with that mother? You said you reported it to the police, but are there any charges being laid? I certainly hope so. How dare she go straight to an 8 year old girl and attack her, verbally and physically?  

I'm sorry to hear that, it is pitiful that parents who are bullies even exist. Quite pathetic.

Answer 8

wow that mother is really insane, you should help her and get her locked up in a insane place thingy, and if you aren't able to comfort your daughter, i suggest move her to a different school, that is if she is up for it, but moving school can be also socially difficult, so talk to her and figure it all out, and find out what you can do with the insane mother and the bully to get them away as much as it would be needed to keep your child in safety.

Answer 9

If it is even feasible, you can try homeschooling.  But I would pull her out if she were mine.  She won't learn if she is worried and stressed all the time.

Answer 10

Tell her not to be intimidated by the bully, just to smile at her and not mind her. Make her have friends and stay with them all the time, they could be her source of strength at school.
