[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've listened to various Principals talk in generalities about their line of conduct in such cases, and my toddler daughter was the victim of a deliberate punch to the head when I picked up her brother in elementary. I would call the police if:

1. The assault wasn't very serious, but it helped the school build a case for a student who needed special placement that was refused by the parents, or it [b]helped wake up the parents that their child needed more help.[/b] In our case, the school was already fed up with the parents of the child in question, and it was the last straw that made the Principal force a non-mainstream setting. Just FYI, schools' hands are tied when parents refuse placement, until the school can document enough incidents. If you're in such a situation, report as much as possible!

2. The assault is serious, and perhaps the school's first reflex is to hide evidence and confuse witnesses (which sadly happened in a very grave incident in an MCPS high school a few years ago) and therefore calling police IMMEDIATELY, in spite of a school's protestations, helps preserve evidence and secure accurate witness statements to put the perpetrators in jail. Call police before you contact the school, actually, so they don't have a chance to do anything.
