hi everyone i was wondering if someone could give me some advice what it is my son was born with a cleft palate and it affects his speach so as you can guess he is being bullied for it at home and at school well yesterday he went to after school club when he was walking home club is 2 mins from our house 4 lads set about him for no reason 2 knocked him to the floor and gave him a kicking while the other got a metal pole and hit him in the head chest and back he is just upset and badly bruised and knocked his confidence even more. one of the mothers found out about it and dragged 2 of her sons over to appologise but to me sorry is not good enough fair play to her for bringing them over but she only kept them in for 10 mins if it was me i would have dragged my son to the police station and reported him
well now the school have got involved and have social services on the case and the police we now need to have our son checked by a police doctor but only problem is the area we live in is really rough you get your windows put through etc if you grass etc as we know from 3 weeks ago different matter thou we are scared to take this further what can we do we cant sell house as it will not sell round here until the trouble makers go their parents are not approachable except the 1 that came yesterday but to me not a lot is being done my son could have been killed
im so confused angry and upset

Oh Katie thats awful, I really dont know what to say as I totally understand where you are coming from. Our area is a bit the same x Have you spoken to the police about your fears?
Its awful that we cannot stand up to these thugs bcus of fear of what they will do next.
I think you should really speak to the police that are involved & talk to them I dont really know what else to suggest x
I hope your son feels better soon x Have a Cuddle

hi thanks for your reply we have a meeting with the school police and social services at 2 to discuss what is going to happen i have explained how we feel but the police just say any problems you call us they dont seem to care and as the kids are under 10 they say they can only warn them but if my son hits back he will be arrested cos of him being 10 thats why social services are involved with the other children

thanks girls for all your advice and support
a little update on what has happened well i went for the meeting on thursday with the police, school and social services. The matter has seriously been looked into statements made etc by people involved and witnessess police and social services were working with the school and police too. Well as a result of all this the 1 child out of 4 involved is no longer around here cant really go into it but there has been big problems with the family and child for months and has been well known to police and social services for some time Eeeeek

anyway life seems a lot better at the moment and people who i thought would cause us trouble as they normally do havnt they have knocked our door and spoke with us as most witnessed what happened that day thanks again girls Little Kiss
