11 year old daughter being bullied...been to school twice...what next??

I presume you know the names (and addresses of the parent of the children responsible) - first off - you write a letter of complaint to the Chairman of the school governors pointing out that the school is in locus Parentis of your child whilst in their care. As a consequence, they are duty bound to look after and protect your child and if sh is hurt or bullied whilst in their care - then they will be liable. You also need to point out that if there are any further attacks or assaults - you will seek damages from the school. That should at least have the desired effect in the short term. Secondly, you writ a similar letter to each of the parents of the children responsible and say that if their 'little darlings' so much as raise a finger against your daughter again - you will not only prosecute them for assault (remember its a criminal offence) but you will also seek damages in the civil court against each and every one of them.You also warn these parents that if you do have to pursue a legal actions against them, you will also seek, as part of the action an injunction against each and every one of the children responsible. Good luck !!!

Well the best thing to do in my opinion is go to the school guidance counselor and if she does not sit down and talk to the trouble makers then threaten to file a lawsuit against the school for allowing harassment to occur on their property/ thus condoning it. This threat will defiantly stimulate a response from the school to the children. When kids are 11 its hard to sit down and talk to them.

If the school aren't dealing with this problem,then phone the education authority,give them all the details and threaten to remove your daughter from the school.. This worked for me..

make her learn to kickbox

homeschool, private school, christian school other school. Your child is the most important thing Not her school.

Well besides what everyone else has wrote these are very effective things to do. I would also look into some self defence classes like karate and the like its not just for boys or tom girls. It can really boost self esteem and confidence and help her stand up to them. Backing down all the time is not always the right course of action.

go to the school district for help. its what i had to do and it helped. the school district does not tolerate bullying. tell them she is being harrassed to the point of fear and is afraid to attend school. no child should have to endure this. the school district knows first hand what bullied kids can do if the problems aren't handled. with all the school shootings these days there should be a zero tolerance for bullying. most schools will expel the bully's. good luck. i hope your child gets thru this and hopefully she knows to just walk away without a word to the brats.

OK, I've been there but I'm telling you upfront this is NOT the correct thing to do but it did work for me years ago. My daughter was having problems with one girl in particular. I first called the school & told the principal that if this did not stop, I would handle it my way & I did not care about the concequences. Of course, then she was made fun of for her mommy calling the school, so I took a different approach. I called the girls mother & said exactly this " Your daughter seems to have a problem with my daughter, since they are only 7, let us adults handle this but I'm warning you we will not be on school grounds so weapons will be allowed." That was the end of the bullying but I did have a name as the crazy mother in the school & the police were called. But I denied saying anything. I was desperate like you, but PLEASE think twice before doing that, this was over a 8 years ago, but I did what I had to do to protect my daughter.
