Ok this is going to be a little bit of a vent but I am needing a little bit of advice on what some of the other parents would do
Know I have a 5 year old son that has some sore of autism and were not sure what kind yet cause were still going threw the doctor stages. Know I have been absent from my sons life because of circumstances that were out of my control at the time but I am back and were working on transitioning him home with me and Daddy. The issue I’m having is we cant get the support we need for my son because he is not fully diagnosed yet and he is physically and emotionally suffering from it.
Everyday he comes home saying so and so hit him and sometimes its true some times he is not telling the truth so we have to do a lot of visits to his school to find out whats going on. Know one of the main supports we are trying to get is a worker to be with him well at school and we cant get it till he is fully diagnosed.
Now as the doctors say he is a 3 ½ year old in a 5 year old body so he is delayed but they said he needed to start school so we obliged. But what are we supposed to do as parrents when your child is getting picked on so bad that he is getting kicked in the face hit slapped and today he got of the buss with a black eye and a swollen face from having a grade two student shove his fave into the buss window
How as a parent do you deal with that...i am at the point ware I want to pull him out of school because its becoming a danger to his health.
Keep in mind that I live in a tiny town and the schools have 175 students all together and they cant seem to keep close enough eye on a child that is known for his disability
What would you do? When would your breaking point come in. Daddy is even at the point of wanting to teach him self defense but really a 5 year old needing that to protect him self is a little sad
what do I do???
175 students and no control? that is crazy. dx or not, if he is being bullied that is wrong. go to the principal, if it doesn't work, then call your district. bring papers from your child doctor, even with out complete dx and show this to the principal and ask for help. i wish you a lot of luck.
The school is responsible for his safety until he gets home. If he is getting picked on and physically hurt, they are liable. If he is getting hurt on the bus, the transportation company is liable as well. If you have even a baseline diagnosis, you can insist on an IEP for your son. You will be sitting down with his teachers and the school to determine the best course of educational action for your son. In the meantime, take pictures of the abuse, and get down to the school and raise holy hell with the administration. If they won't do anything, call law enforcement because crimes have been committed against your child. You have to be your son's advocate. I won't lie, getting services in a small town is difficult, but doable. He can learn self-defense but that will do no good in a mob situation (like a school bus). You may need to pull him out of school until you get a final diagnosis and get a full support system in place. If anyone says anything, show them the pictures of what happened to him and let them know you will not put your son back in school until safety measures are in place.
Oh my goodness, that is just horrible! If it were my son, I would pull him from school until the school can guarantee his safety. He obviously is not safe now if he is coming home with black eyes and marks from being beaten. Make sure you take lots of pictures and if necessary, call the police and file a complaint. That should get the schools attention! Bullying only gets worse if not addressed head-on! No child should be going through such abuse at school and it is the school's job to protect the students of their school, all students. Wow! Makes me so angry that and I feel so bad for your son. I am sure he has no idea why kids would be so mean to him! Demand action from the school and if you have to, get your son an attorney and sue the school for the changes needed to make the school safe.
Anyone tried the BODY ECOLOGY diet?
