[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a child at my DS school that is consistently hurting my child and others on an almost daily basis in extended day He has punched my son(age 5) in the face, breaking his glasses, stratched his back, pushed him against a wall causing a knot on his his head and bitten his arm. There have many many complaints and the extended day staff have reassured us the child has a 1:1 aid, but the incidents keeps happening. I confirmed with staff that my child is not provoking this child(he isn’t aggressive at all but wanted to make sure.) I don’t know what else to do? [/quote]

I find your description hard to believe. If a child was really doing this type of thing "on an almost daily basis" there is no way the child would still be in aftercare, special needs or not. And there is no way a child with a 1:1 aide could be doing all this stuff. You or your child are exaggerating like crazy. Is it possible your child is extra sensitive and doesn't understand that kids can be physical at this age? When you say the child scratched his back could it have been part of normal rough and tumble play? If this child actually punched your child and broke your child's classes who paid for those glasses? What was your child doing that your child was targeted? Are you sure your child has not been verbally abusing this other child?

My DD has been in a class and in aftercare with children with 1:1 aides and basically they work with the child to move to a different area when they start getting upset so that conflicts do not occur. They may occasionally get upset and say something rude. I think once a child tore down a poster in the classroom. But that was it. It is the children who do not have 1:1 aides, whose problems are not diagnosed, whose parents are in denial, who do the most damage. Several classmates of DD who do not have SN, do not have an aide are known to push, hit, and shove and she once saw one of those boys smack another's into the water fountain because he was upset.
