Considering OP, that some parents are really fearing for their children today in a VA school, I wonder if you want to rethink how stupid your post seems now.

Or, are you the kind of parent that still just doesn't get it?

Probably dresses her young boy in a dress and high heels.

A first time mother with no experience or understanding of children ... absolutely zero. When she has her second child the perfect first born will ensure no sibling pushing, fighting or rilvary. Impossible in her little bubble.

Clueless mother indeed!

DC was pushed from behind by another child and was taken to the clinic- ripped clothes and bleeding. What are our rights on what we can expect from the school? How high can we take this? isn't there a basic safety component? these are young ES kids..

By the way, have you ever pushed from behind another child or adult at any point in your glorius life? If so, were you ever prosecuted?

Chill out. Now I see where some of the mean kids get it from.

And your bedwetting little darling got his impeccable manners and decorum from you. He would never push anyone and of course always apologises, apologises for what? being clumsy?

Get a life. Read OPs posts. She wasn't interested in filing charges or litigating, she wanted her kid safe. I don't blame her.

Go find your pea brain. The only way to keep your child safe is to book the other kid downtown for good or try homeschooling then the child's only worry is parental child abuse.

Just sounds like typical boy behavior to me. Kids push each other. Most of the time, no one gets hurt.

Let your boy be a boy. Let him stand up for himself. If that means going to the teacher for help, then let him do it.

OP is absolutely certain that her child would never push another child and would apologize if he accidentally pushed someone. That right there is laughable on its face. Then add in the fact that she has labelled another young child as the "mean kid" and you can see what a reasonable person she is.

If this other kid has been pushing his classmates more than once every two weeks or so, then he qualifies as a potential problem, and "mean kid" isn't a terrible description.

Many grow out of it, especially if it's just limited to playground rough-housing. But it'd be nice to help kids out at this level so they don't become the 16-year-old 7th grader that pulls knives out on other kids.

Do you really think labelling a kid the "mean kid" results in any good? I find that hard to believe. From the sound of OP's post, she had ALREADY labelled this kid the "mean kid" before her kid was pushed at all. It sounds like she and other parents have been gossiping about this child. So great - they can feel superior and at the same time completely ostracize and alienate a freaking kindergartener (or so I suspect as OP refuses to say even how old these kids are - just "young elementary schoolers").

Personally, I know parents like OP and can't stand them at my kid's school. They suck and do sooooo much more harm than good.

Yes, from parents who refuse to empathize and who judge every little infraction - no matter how little (and honestly, pushing isn't exactly big). They get it from the ridiculous sense of entitlement from parents like OP (and likely you) who criticize and throw insults every which way...

Ok. well this is VA elementary--so, once you have talked about this with the principal, you need to just take your lumps and walk away. No one give a crap at that level about this. It is a teaching moment for your kid, nothing more. Discplinary action is not the way to go. The school will contact the other parents once you give them the details.

Your young child is quite the outstanding gentleman, a model citizen and a man amongst boys. I would certainly file charges against the other immature boy and make certain he is arraigned without bail.
