Well first thing I'd do is make sure the kid that pushed you stops messing with you. I would start by letting one of your parents know about the problem or you could go to the Principle of your school since it happened at the bus stop.  Which ever you decide I think the guy who caused the problem should have to pay the price not you. If nothing else works I'd open a can of whup-ass on the fool who pushed you. You might still have to pay for the torn pants but the guy might not mess with you after that.

Talk with the principal immediately. It is completely ridiculous that your child should be left to suffer for the sake of the lowest common denominator. Fight on behalf of your child.

If you're a student at a University of any size at all, there are free student legal resources, including an attorney, available to you.  You need to rapidly take advantage of that before the semester closes.\n\nYou are going to have to convince the Court that you had no knowledge of these events of 1.5 - 2 years ago that you mention above.\n\nDocument everything, including event, date and time (even if it is the date and time you first learned of it and from whom or how you learned it).\n\nIf there is a Court Order in place that allows you visitation and the mother is not allowing it, then she's in Contempt of Court and that's a good starting place.\n\nDon't waste time.  Get on this NOW ~ as in first thing tomorrow morning and, by that, i mean unless you have a final exam at 8:00 a.m. tomorrow morning, then you need to be sitting in Student Legal Services at 8:00 a.m., telling the secretary/assistant that you have an emergency involving the well-being of your child.

I'm not sure exactly who you should go to, but you might try speaking with a local Department of Education Office of Civil Rights (link below).  They handle discrimination cases and that type of thing - if the school is denying your child services that he needs, then I'm pretty sure they can help you with this at no cost to you.  \n\nIf your child hasn't officially been diagnosed as special needs, however, the school is probably not obligated to offer extra services.  In any case, the teacher should be making modifications of her instruction to reach all students no matter what level they are performing at (research the term "differentiated instruction").\n\nOther possibilities (though I don't know much about using services from these entities so I may be wrong) might be a legal aid office or the attorney general's office.  \n\nI would highly recommend documenting every conversation you have had with teachers, administrators, etc., on this subject (you might even considering putting a voice recorder on your telephone, or carrying one with you when you speak in person - in most states this is legal as long as one person participating in the conversation is aware of it, but I'd recommend checking the laws for your state).  Also document the actions they've taken (firing the aide) and all the correspondence they send you (the letter about the teacher's credentials).  Documentation goes a long way in legal proceedings if your situation goes to that extreme - it will probably also give you some leverage at the IEP meeting if someone says something that you can disprove based on your detailed, accurate records. (Be sure to keep your records factual though, don't make assumptions about what you thought you saw or understood).\n\nI would also recommend going above the principal's head to the superintendent and asking to see a copy of the teacher's license/certification.  It should state whether or not the teacher has special ed credentials.\n\nBest of luck to you!

Have you went to the police?  Do you have pictures of the bite?  I would get an attorney.  Sounds like the biter's parents are bribing the church and school.  Your daughter was assaulted.  Fight for her.  Get attorney.  You can probably file a civil suit and the attorney will get a percentage.  \n\nMost of all, show your daughter not to let people hurt her.  No matter who they are.

Well CookieMonster my advice may not be that ethical but I would suggest that you enroll your son in some sort of self defense course.  As a parent and previous kid yourself you most certainly must realize that if you get too involved that it will only work against your son and he will get the beats more often.  It is very sad that he was beaten so badly that he had to be hospitalized and I would hope that the school he attends has a zero tolerance on violence and that any child who becomes physically or emotionally abuse towards another is suspended.  My advice for self defense course is because it will help to build your sons self esteem as well as better prepare himself in case of future attacks.  He might really enjoy taking boxing lessons and actually get to meet some new friends also.  I cannot speak of this other young man who is suppose to be a friend and whether or not he set your son up, but if he did then it would be wise for your son to stay away from him also.  But if he is sitting with one of the bullies as a measure of his own self preservation then he just isn't mature enough at present to understand the meaning of being a true friend.  Hopefully by involving the police in this latest incident you have somehow put some fear into these others who might want to attack your son and so this will cease and desist.  Kids can be very mean and think they are so tough by beating on younger or weaker kids.  But Karma has a way of balancing things out and hopefully in time they will learn that what they have done has consequences.  Best of luck to you and I hope that your son is going to be alright and gets many well wishes from his real friends while he is in the hospital.

Firstly tell your parents, make sure they are aware of the situation. Don't fall for any of this "You mustn't tell the teacher" nonsense. The guy sleeps happy at night, so why shouldn't you? And don't apologise to anyone for sticking up for your rights, they are your rights, people fought for them, and this bully shouldn't be allowed to take them away.\nNext time he threatens you tell him there will be trouble if he tries anything, but, and this is the important part, don't tell him or even hint what actions you will take, let him guess. His imagination will do the job for you. Just smile. \nNext, get some witnesses to back you up.\nIf they guy touches you then lay a complaint with the Police, and if they ask why you didn't speak to the school say they refused to protect you.\nAlso learn a few basic self defense moves, like kicking him "where it hurts most". If he tries anything, do that, and when he's on the ground crying his eyes out ... like I said, don't apologise.\nSince the Principal won't do anything, write to the school committee asking them what their policy is on bullying (it will be they don't allow it, but you have to ask the question) because you are being bullied and the Principal won't address your concerns. \nIf the bully is threatening others, which is probably the case, make sure you state this as well in your letter. \nThird, next time it happens, go down to the school office and tell them you are going home because they are unable to provide a safe environment for you at school, and tell them to ring you when it is. If they try and stop you ask them why they don't stop the bully. Tell them to call the cops and walk out. \nAlso, can do you know of any "dirt" on the guy. For example, does he bring cigarettes to school or is an illegal immigrant? \nShop him. \nAnd lastly, always look confident when he sees you, not frightened. Look like you are a person with power, because you have something he doesn't have - the law is on your side.

You need to arrange a meeting with the teacher immediately to address this - have another person with you, and keep notes of what was said.  Don't go in all guns blazing, be polite but firm and explain your concerns in a dignified manner.  If you do not get anywhere with the teacher submit a formal written complaint to the head teacher and ask for a meeting with him/her to disucss your concerns and what can be done.  Take notes of everything and copies of all letters/details of phone calls.  Take notes of anything your child tells you and of any changes you notice in your child behaviour - reluctance to go to school, nightmares, bedwetting, acting out of character. The teacher has behaved unreasonably, but give them a chance to give their version as you have so far only heard one side.  As I said - make notes of everything, the more documentation you have the stronger your case if you do need to take this any further. It's hard to stay calm and rational in this situation, I know but you've a better chance of a positive outcome if you do!

Just go on being a good kid and they will get the message. Lets face it, your brother messed it up for you. I dont blame your parents. they have had a bad scare. Just be cool, they will come around. If it really bothers you why not ask a teacher to talk to them about you? A good word from a teacher should help.

First of all, I offer my empathy to you and your son; and I've said a little prayer for both of you.  I have an opinion on this but it is just that an opinion.  Maybe it will give you some ideas to confront the situation.\n\nHere are some thoughts:\n\nEvery child has the right to an education.  Ask Pres. Bush!  Not only that, but you'd be in trouble if you did not ensure your son received that education.\n\nBecome best friends so to speak with this social worker...especially if he/she seems to be on your side.  Sounds like she might be since she revealed what "she believes" to be the actual reason for the denial.  She will know how the school system works and she'll know who to contact up the chain of command AND maybe more importantly knows who to contact outside the school system when intervention and supervision of school practices should be reported.  \n\nMake absolutely certain that this is not in fact a zoning issue.  Maybe the social worker can show you how she got her information on zoning.  Also someone in the city or even voter registration office can tell you what school district you are in.  Make sure before you take this any further.  \n\nMake an appointment with the school principal.  The purpose of the visit is to ask them for an explanation in person.  Don't allow yourself to become confrontational or argumentative. Just listen to what they have to say.  If they take the zoning stance, calmly let them know that the social worker has looked into the matter for you and told you otherwise.  You might state that their letter to you gave one reason and that the social worker found there to be another reason and say, "attendance."  Again, just listen to what they have to say.  Don't get into a debate with them.  This is your first step to try to handle the matter rationally and on your own.  Of course, ask questions and have a discussion just keep it calm.  Don't make accusations.  Don't give them any reason to feel threatened.  By doing so, you will get the most information from them.  (and keep in mind, you want your son to return there in the fall...do everything you can to create and preserve a good, rational relationship with the principal and office staff.)  When the meeting is over, just politely thank them for their time.  Don't say anything about what you are thinking like what you might do next.  Just leave. Don't give them any insight into how you took the news.  Because, the news will probably be that your son cannot return for whatever reason they choose to stand by.   Take another adult with you as a witness.  If they ask who the person is and why they are there, just tell them you want to be sure that you understand everything they tell you.  Let them know that this matter is troubling to you and especially your son; and you need someone else to understand their reasoning so that you have someone to talk to.  Don't let them refuse to speak to both of you.  If they do, thank them for their time and leave.  Do not stay and listen to them without a witness.  You might even want to ask the social worker to join you BUT NOT in place of another adult you trust.  When you leave, you should both make notes immediately about what was said in the meeting...even before you discuss it.  Then compare notes.\n\nSave those notes.  I don't know if a school can refuse enrollment due to attendance.  I know shcools have rules and progressive disciplinary policies that can lead to expulsion for various reasons.  If your son is being denied enrollment due to attendance, the school should be able to produce evidence of progressive disciplinary action and a copy of the policy that relates to their action.  If he missed too many days to pass to the next grade, they should just have him repeat the year...not refuse enrollment.  \n\nYou might benefit from a consultation, advice and representation of an attorney if you have ruled out zoning and any clearly documente

My heart goes out to you and, I must say I am surprised by the lack of support you got from the school. I certainly wouldn't let this matter drop - ask for another appointment with the Head and tell them your grave concerns; then, if nothing happens, contact the Local Authority and speak to the Attendance Officer.\n(All these unauthorised absences are not going to cast a very favourable light on the school!)\nFinally please don't give up on the idea of custordy - speak to Social Services (it would help if you had an accurate log of absences and lateness - this the school is obliged to give you) to see if they can support your claim for this child.\nGood luck.

If your son was left alone in school with no supervision you should write a letter of complaint to the Director of Education at your local authority.\n\nIf you need help doing this, go to a Citizen's Advice Bureau  - link below to help you find a local one. The CAB should also be able to offer advice on what you should do and what your legal rights are.\n\nIf you have a social worker you should talk to him/her about it too.\n\nI hope things work out ok for you and your son.

See if you can set up a appointment with a lawyer - make sure you tell them its for school  or call the court house and see about talking to a judge as every case is different
