by no means was I trying to condescend you Sorry if it came across that way. Not my intention at all.

What I am meaning to say is that as a child being victimised by another child, it is helpful to know that something is going to be done about it. That someone is there to help you and you are not on your own. This helps the child not to be consumed by what is happening in their life that shouldnt be. Yes a child needs to learn how to ignore it but this is a skill that is gradually learnt.
