Ever wonder if anyone is on your side!!! I was so upset last night... my little girl who can't be more than 50lbs with a winter coat on... 9 years old has this kid in her class... that is seems must like her I think that is 11years old... (kept back in school) and he is hurting her... and because I taught her to be nice to others that are less forunate she is taking it from him....

I thought at least calling the school going up there would be a good idea and that school would help... But NO.. I call and the blow me off...

So I wrote this letter:

To whom it may concern,

I just called to inform the principal and/or my daughter's teacher Mrs. Pender that I will be coming up to the school today around 12:00pm to speak with them about an issue that is going on in the classroom as well as in the school yard. My daughter Madison has come home the last few days with bruises on her arms and it concerned me. She has explained to me that another child in her class is trying to hug her during recess and when she tells him to stop he pinches her. And on random occasions pinches her and her friends as play.

This concerns me as there were other things Madison has told me also, such as stories and jokes this child is telling the other children. Madison has expressed to my husband and I that she didn't want to tell anyone because she was afraid he would get mad and also because she feels bad for him as other kids pick on him often.

There is seriously something wrong going on if what Madison tells me is true, such as this child coming to school in the same clothes each day, often dirty and having a smell to him, wearing girl clothes and nail products, etc. Madison has said this is why she wanted to be nice to him and try and be his friend as other children keep their distance. I have explained to Madison that being someones friend does not mean that we let them put their hands on our bodies or hurt us in any way.

Before anything worse happens, either to my child or this other child who has been hurting her I believe this issue needs to be addressed.

I was told that it wont be a guarantee that the principal will be available when I arrive as he might be in a meeting. It is 8:30am I won't be there until 12:00pm maybe some time within the next 3 plus hours it can be arranged to spare time as the safety of the school children should be important enough.

And then I put my contact info...

I copied the message to myself, my husband and my mother who works for a law firm so that maybe the school would see the law firm name on the email and it might put fire under their butts to be concerned too that I will take it a step further.

The worst is I have heard so many stories about this child that are negative... family life, things he talks about, Death, the Devil, GirlFriends..etc. it worries me for him as well.. and why the hell hasn't the school called Social Services yet..!!!

Grrrrrrrr!! I can't believe this. I am not good at being angry I mostly just get sad and this is so hard for me right now... but I know that I am my childs advocate and in some way need to speak up for this other child as well as no one seems to notice there are issues.
