My DS is 5 and just started school this year. Tonight he told DH that another child punched him in the stomach today. He said he cried because it hurt really bad . He told the duty teacher and then his class teacher. Apparently the other child was told off and had their name put on the board (where your name goes if you are naughty). The other child is 6 and is in the same class.

I didn't know about it until DH told me and I haven't had a chance to talk to DS about it yet. I am going to go to see his teacher tomorrow.

I would like to know what consequences other people have experienced for this kind of behaviour. Personally I don't think being told off is enough. I am seriously ****ed off that it happened to my son and the school did not contact me to tell me he had been physically assaulted. I have no idea if the other child's parents have been informed. I need something more to be done than having their name on the board.

TIA
