Does anyone else feel all these anti-bullying policies are no more than words on paper?

Sorry for the negative title but had to withdraw my son from his mainstream placement. His been punched, kicked, stuff broken, verbally tomented, had all his friends turned against him and more spanning over a year. I've had countless meetings with the head with other agencies involved and still nothing changes. I have this bully tormenting my son outside our home and my son refuses to go out. He use to go out with friends and to clubs but now doesn't all because of this one child. I've tried everything even involved the police (recently) but just can't seem to get rid of him. 

I'm severely dissapointed with the school but sadly not suprised (I don't mean to label schools its just been a very frustrating time and second experience of this problem). I finally wrote a letter explaining my reasons for withdrawing my son and not even a response (not that I even want one). I just wanted to ask if anyone else feels this way regards these so called anti-bullying policies and if anyone has any suggestions on how I can get rid of this bully once and for all (preferably staying the right side of the law ;-))

Thanks in advance x

  • Good point Chaffinch,

     But i'm not sure standing in your own home and taking a photo out of your own window into the street constitutes an infringement on a child, does it?

    When many have CCTV to protect their homes now, is that an infringement if it captures a child bullying another? It's a grey area.

    Different if I ran around stalking a child perhaps, but I see your point. In the past I've had to document my own childs injurys using photography, but as advice perhaps thats more appropriate. Hope i haven't upset anyone, but the emotive subject of ones kids being terrorized does tend to make ones blood boil.

    Regards
