This is the first time I've come here to vent/rant.

I have 2 boys (6 & 7, soon to be 7 & 8) and for the last 3 years they've been bullied almost everyday by the same brat at recess and in the after school program. I've been to the principal so many times I can't even count anymore. I thought this year was going pretty smoothly until last night when my 8 year old son comes home and tells me that the brat is at it again! And has been all year. When I asked him why he hasn't said anything, he tells "Because they don't do anything about it".

Last night at the after school program my son (Vincent) goes to get a box of toys to play with, the brat blocks his way and pushes the box out of his hands and stands there smiling at him (I would've smacked him, but Vincent's not that type of kid). The girl that works there saw what happened and took them into the hall to talk with them (like they always do) and the kid denied everything while smirking at Vincent the whole time. Needless to say nothing was done other than speaking to him (cause that always works).

Vincent told me the other day the brat was trying to kiss one of the other boys and was humping him! He's only 6!

Both my boys have been punched, kicked, pushed, made fun of by this kid. My husband had a chat with the father last year who swore up and down that he knew nothing about his kids behaviour. When I spoke to the principal last time she said they had been "working with him" for 2 years. Good job!

So now I guess it's my turn to have a chat with the father, and I'm not so nice. I'm also going to get a hold of the school board. What happened to zero tolerance?

Vincent tripped one day (he gets that from me, we both trip on air) and fell into another kid who swore at him. Vincent was reprimanded and they sent a letter home to me, like he did it on purpose! Ridiculous.
