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

struggling mum

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

  • Why is the teaching industry not more attentively regulated? Reading this thread demonstrates the complete lack of accountability. Consideration needs to be given to what orginisational changes are necessary to ensure that instances of bullying cannot be ignored.

    Also, why is it that bullys are never procecuted? Physical and/or verbal abuse day after day with perhaps robbery or extortion! These are criminal acts that should be procecuted as a matter of course rather than as an exception, and whereas the bully is not deemed old enough to be responsible for their actions then the school must be held responsible for acts that occur at school and parents must be held resonsible for acts outside of school.
