Not been here for a few days...

[Black Sabbath]

My 14 year old daughter got visiously assaulted by a girl in her school, the girl has been picking on my daughter for a few months, name calling, pushing, shoving etc, but on wednesday just as my daughter left school to come home, this girl punched her 5 times in the face, kneed her in the head and stomache, ripped hair out and kicked her in the face while she was on the floor, even tried to push her infront of a moving car, she now has a broken nose, black eyes, bruised cheek bone, aching kneck, lump at the back of the head and has startng to have blurred vision in one eye!

Spent 3 hours in hospital wth my daughter, i even went to see the other girls parents they didn't want to know!
Have report it to the police and we are pressing charges, the school haven't been very helpful at all, my daughter will not be going back there!
My daughter now has to see a nose specialist to see how bad the break is as the swelling is startng to go down and also has to see an eye specialist to see if there will be a risk of her going blind in one eye!

"Give blow for blow, scorn for scorn, doom for doom - with compound interest
liberally added thereunto! Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, aye four-fold, a hundred-fold! Make yourself a Terror to your adversary, and when he goeth his way, he will possess much additional wisdom to ruminate over"

It's times I like these I believe in such words. I hope your daughter pulls through with no long term physical and mental damage. Do you damnedest to make sure that other girl pays for her deeds but of course your daughter's health comes first.

oh my God.

i am so sorry that this happened to you and her!

the bullying is out of control. the parents aren't doing anything, the schools aren't doing anything, the legislators aren't doing anything.

i hope for both of your sakes that she makes a full recovery. this is going to be tough, trust me.

i got my daughter this book because i know that bullying usually starts around the 5-7 grades.

it is a good book to help her understand it isn't her fault, there is nothing wrong with her, she was a victim not somebody who deserved it.

oohhh man! I am so sorry this happened! I can't believe that the school isn't getting involved..... they need to expel this girl, your daughter isnt the one that should have to stay away! And this girls parents?? wow! i am surprised.

I do hope your daughter is ok, and I am so very sorry this happened.

I can't imagine what sort of mindset it'd take to assault someone like this. Press charges.

 

[jales]

do you know anything about the girl who did that to her? what type of home does this girl come from? can you talk to her parent(s)? that girl must be really disturbed.

i'm really sorry to hear what you and your daughter have been going through.

that is a horrible and vicious encounter, i hope you find some justice and you're daughter remains healthy and well.

i wish you and your daughter all the best.

 

[Steel]

I wish your family all the best. I feel pressing charges is an appropriate response.

That's infuriating that that happened, Sabbath.

I hope your daughter doesn't suffer any long term effects. The sore neck is concerning given the nature of the event.

It's times like this I want to disappear from society and become a vigilante, and distribute the justice that the system never will.

It sucks that children have no discipline nowadays. The rowdy ones have nothing to fear from their elders whatsoever and lack respect for anyone but themselves. After all, what's the worst that can happen? They get sent home from school (a vacation) and verbally reprimanded by people they don't have to listen to? It's disgusting.

Wow, I can not believe that the school is dragging its feet on this and that the other parents are not taking responsibility. I would be livid.

I am very glad that you are pressing charges. I feel for you, my older daughter is entering her tween years now. I can't imagine what awaits us.:/

I certainly hope the police do something.

I had encounters with three girls that bullied me in the 7th grade, one of them was my ex-friend. It got to the point where I was getting death threats via emails, instant messaging, and notes in my locker. Also created rumors that I was having sex with my best friend and was pregnant. Finally brought all of the evidence to the school and they talked to the girls - which helped only on school grounds because there were extra eyes on the situation. But it didn't stop.

My mom went to speak with one of the girl's grandmothers and my ex-friend's parents. The girls denied everything and said that I was the one bullying them. I couldn't even go into the girl's restroom without being stalked in there and thrown against the wall, to getting followed on the way home from school. I had to ask people if I could walk along with them just so they wouldn't try anything.

As a last resort, we brought the evidence to the police and they didn't do anything either. They said everything on the internet was "out of their hands", and they didn't have sufficient evidence to do anything.

Middle school was hell for me. I applied to a magnet high school program across the city so I wouldn't have to see the likes of any of them again. That was the only thing that totally put an end to it.
