The kid supposedly just walked up and punched my kid in the cheek in class, and chased them with scissors just a few days ago (corroborated by the teacher).
I know shit happens, and they’re a resilient kid, so it’s not too big a deal. But I also want to raise hell to get this kid away from them. What’s the next incident going to be?
I understand the structural and societal issues here - the kid probably doesn’t have a great home life, and the school doesn’t really have anything they can do that will help him.
Idk, just feeling conflicted and looking for thoughts.
I’m not a parent nor am I fit to ever be one but I’d suggest getting the school to step in. That other child seems to be a danger to every kid in the class and will probably grow up to be a dangerous person. If you’re friends with other parents maybe you could go as a group to demand the jobbers and hacks in the school administration to get off their useless asses and do something about this child safety risk.
