[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Switch schools. Nothing else will make a difference or show your kid that you support them. Kids this age internalize things that happen to them: I deserved it; something is wrong with me; it was my fault. The best way to counter that is to take serious action so they know you don't think that way.

PS: The school will do nothing. Police report will lead to your kid learning that the system cares a hell of a lot more about the kids who commit the assaults. They will expect your kid to show sympathy and support for their assailant and retraumatize them through the restorative justice program. They do nothing to help the victim. Completely counterproductive for victims.[/quote]

Wow - way to overreact!  For all you/OP know, OP’s kid threw the first punch.  Or was taunting the kid.  Or friendly wrassling got out of hand.

OP, details are critical.  This is an instance where I would have no problem going scorched earth but you need details first or you could wind up looking really dumb. [/quote]
