Daughter found wandering distressed at side of main road

Im in shock, can it really get any worse, i have today recieved a phone call from my daughter very upset i couldnt really understand whatt she was saying so i panicked and jumped in the car and sped off towards school, thank god i did, i found her wandering in a very distressed state down a main road either side of which there are steep drops into thick woods. It would appear that the teacher at school has yet again been shouting at her, not only shouting but this time has allowed another member of the class to openly mock her and done nothing. Cruel act. 

on bringing her home she has settled to bed and is emotionally exhausted, i have contacted school who were not even aware she was not there any more but am still waiting for their official response to all this which will no doubt be a load of lies concocted to cover themselves.

Problem here is she has no formal diagnosis even though every difficulty she has screams autism and she has siblings who are diagnosed, and she is under assesment the school is an early academy and does not want to accept that it may cost them something to help her so refuse to aknowledege the difficulties she has.

I am so angry im shaking, what if a car had hit her? the only reason she was out there in the first place is because they are bloody useless, what on earth are they putting us through this?

I am refusing to take her back now untill they have aknowledged that they are leaving her at a massive disadvantage and thoroughly confused,and it would seem allowing her to be placed in danger, her safety has to come first and it would seem that they cannot guarantee that, no doubt ill have the truancy officer round next and have all that to deal with as well

This is all so wrong and unfair, and im tired of them makimg me out to be a bad mum because i disagree with them.

Im so sorry for ranting, but with other diagnosed children i see no end to it all, no end to the ignorant schools whos only interest are their league table results.

  • hi Happy Days - how awful for both of you.  This is so shocking.  MeMyselfandI gives loads of good advice - flag it up with everyone who matters, inc. your MP, who can be contacted by phone or email.  If he/she is a supporter of academies then they won't be happy about what's happened + will hopefully take some action.  If he/she is against academies then they'll take action also.  Sometimes a crisis forces professionals/organisations to act, if that's any consolation.   I hope you're both start to feel a bit better soon + also get some positive outcome from this dreadful experience.  bw
