[quote=Anonymous][quote]Re: asking what is being done to help the kicker, my DD’s school has policies in place to deal with this kind of thing; the teachers and staff assured me that they were following policies, and informed me of the steps being taken to lessen chances of incidents like this, where one child shows a pattern of hurting other kids. I didn’t request nor expect any special knowledge about the kicker, just communicated that I expected some action would be taken.

In instances where a child doesn’t show a pattern, or the incident doesn’t warrant it, I’m not nearly as concerned; DD has been in school/daycare for 2.5 years, and 90% of the time I do trust the teachers and staff to do what needs to be done. Maybe it’s just me, but I do feel that kicking someone intentionally is outside the norm of behavior, even for little kids.

I don’t know if it can be called eavesdropping to overhear conversations being held in the hallways of the school or outside in the parking lot where anyone nearby can hear. If you can assume that DD is my first, I think I can assume that [b]you must be one of those parents who always assume the worst about any parent who is not completely hands off but shows concern for their child and ensures that he/she has access to all available and appropriate resources, including those that protect them from mistreatment.[/b] [/quote]

Have you tried bubble wrap?  You think your kid hasn't intentionally hit or kicked someone?  Your child is NOT being mistreated.  You're getting your knickers in a knot because of one incident involving your child.  You need to calm down.  Your high need for information is unreasonable and inappropriate.  If the school has such detailed policies on how to deal with this sort of thing then why are you posting on DCUM asking how we would expect to be informed of the incident and by whom?  it sounds like you wanted your hand held a little more and are pissed because the school didn't do it.
