[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

My daughter doesn't want to fight. She just wants to be left alone and we are trying to figure out why she is being targeted. FWIW, she isn't the only one who is being picked on. There are other kids who are being teased, shoved, etc. but so far, just my kid reached the fight stage. Neither of us thinks that fighting will ultimately solve the problem - the instigators come from rough environments and they will not handle being beaten by someone like my kid very well. It could get real ugly. I did contact the school today via email but have not heard back yet. And, my daughter laid low and managed to avoid any issues today.

I am actually feeling a little bit of hope with a close-by religious school. The cost is reasonable and they offer financial aid. I still think it is very unfair that it is us that have to leave and not the instigators so I will have to see what the principal says in terms of offering protection. Thanks everyone. [/quote]

Just go to you local Catholic School (there are 52 in ADW, there are probably a few near you). Ask to meet with the principal. Tell them your daughter was physically attacked at school and you need a place for her to feel safe.

My friends daughter got a COSA but it was not much better.

I have never heard of a physical fight in any of the Catholic schools in the ADW... mean girls are everywhere and she needs to learn to deal with that but being physically attacked is not okay.

If you care ... you can get a lawyer and get the county to pay for the school but it will probably cost you more for a lawyer.

The victim should not have to leave but often that is what happens.

I still think you should do Juijitsu, it will not teach her to fight really, it will teach her how to defend and get away. She may need it some day (college).
