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.

Soooo, here's the update:
I went in to have a meeting with the principal, and who do I see when I get into the reception area? The father of the little sociopath! I almost lost my temper right there, but was able to keep my cool. The principal saw me walk in and pulled me into her office right away. She told me that the brat is being expelled today and that I don't have to worry about this kid ever again. Of course, because of privacy issues she couldn't elaborate on the details of why this was happening.
Apparently, (I found this out later by another parent that was at the school after my meeting) the brat was out on the playground and decided it would be fun to grab a handful of rocks and throw it some poor unexpecting 5 year old. Well, at least one of the rocks went into the little boys eye and cut it open. They're still not sure if he'll be able to see out of it. The brat actually stood there laughing at him, while this kid was screaming at the top of his lungs! The mother of the child was at home, which is across the street from the playground, and she heard him screaming. I can't even imagine what she must have been thinking when she got there and saw the blood running down her sons face.
When I saw the father there in the office, he was trying to convince the school not to kick out his kid. I still don't think he gets it.
All I can think about is how that could've been my boy. I'm glad it's over and this sociopath is gone, but it's not how I wanted it done. I really hope this little boy that was injured will be ok.
