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.

  • thanks for your replies,

    this afternoon i contacted the education authority who wanted nothing to do with is as it is an academy.

    Both the education welfare officer and the educational psychologist are employed directly by the academy, the education welfare officer had already been contacted by the academy after my phone call to them asking what the hell was happening earlier in the day their first response was to cause yet more problems for me, by reporting her for truanting. i have now been warned.

    i have asked the school many times to get an educational pschologist involved but have had no joy, i have contacted my other daughters psychologist now in the hope she can help me contact him directly or give some advice.

    we are actually at camhs this week so i will be taking this issue up with them, and i intend on contacting the mp tommorow. in the mean time she now is refusing school and im under pressure from the welfare officer, who frankly didnt care.

    im seriously considering home education again i dont know how much longer we can deal with the apalling attitude of this school
