[quote=Anonymous]I went through the bullying at an all-girls private.  My daughter was/is extremely bright and kind.  The bullying included stealing, taunting, physical, and even an attack on another girl who rode to the rescue.  Since the school did nothing, I took matters into my own hands.  I was NOT going to let this play out at the expense of my child fearful of a classmate, and I was no longer going to be ignored.

I told the school the next incident of theft, I was bringing in the police.  The next incident of physical contact, I was bringing in the police.  I also advised the school they should make the girl's parents aware of my intentions and also put the school on notice that not only will we not leave, they need to  reel this girl in now or deal with legal action.  Enough is enough!!

I don't know if the school ever spoke with the parent(s), but the harrassment stopped.  A few years later when the girls matured and my daughter got bigger and stronger physically and emotionally, the bully wanted to be her best friend.  No dice.  The bully put my DD through too much.

I relate my story because private schools sometimes tolerate bullies in fear of legal repercussions from the bully parents.  They forget the victims have the same rights of legal action.  I can never be sure if our threats of legal and police action were effective but the bullying stopped.[/quote]
