bullying

Ok My son has had a problem with this other Child.. Lets cal him J. Since year 1. J and Ethan are now in year 5. At first it was just calling Ethan a baby and silly things like that..

First week of school this year Ethan comes home upset.. J called me a 'Faggot' Now to me thats just disgusting.. We have spoken to the teacher and principal many times about this child and the same response every time.. Ethan you need to show less emotion bla bla bla

Yesterday we get to the car and Ethan says his back is sore. why is your back sore.. J pushed me into the port racks.. So I grabbed Ethan and marched right back into the school.. Unfort they were all on thier way to a meeting so I had a meeting with the principal this morning.

He basically said.. Well Ethan you need to change the way you react to J.. If you don't react or say things like well it takes one to know one or I know you are but what am I.. then J will leave you alone. Now to me that just sounds like Well dear if you lined up his slippers and pipejust right he wouldn't have beat you.. Why should my child even have to deal with J. How many more times is this going to happen.. These boys are not little anymore.. they are getting to an age where more serious things are going to happen (imo)

We can't even let Ethan walk to school.. He is allowed to ride but not walk.. why? becaue this kid scooters or rides and on more then one occassion has bailed Ethan up..

What else can we do? I am not foreceful person and I don't want to go to the education department about this just yet.

Ethan also said to the principal this morning.. J said he was going to flog me if I came to school today and you know what he said to Ethan.... Well Ethan how many fights have you had with J?? so do you really think he is going to hit you

Seriously.. even I know thats not right.. I wonder if they are even going to say something to this child or his parents

Sorry for the ramble but we have had enough.. I think DH is going to go up this week if something else happens.
