[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent here of a middle school child whose MCPS handled the situation well.

— Echoing what others said about the bullying form: it’s the entry point for anything they do next. So file that ASAP.

— If and only if you fear your child is in danger of being attacked by the student again (Was it serious violence? Threats of more? Stalking?), then file a police report. You can drive to the station. Ask for the incident number. They likely can’t and won’t do anything, and if nobody is in imminent danger then they shouldn’t do anything, but this way you are making a record in case things escalate. Speaking from experience, you do not want to let threatening and harmful behavior escalate.

— Keep a log of anything that happens and save anything digital, like threatening texts.

Our child’s situation became extreme, but when we needed to consider going to court to make it stop we knew we’d need the incident log and police incident info, bullying form, and correspondence with the child’s parents to show we had tried everything else.[/quote]

No, do not interfere.  Let the school handle it!

It is not your job.[/quote]
