Well, it's a bit different because of the nature of this school. Have you ever read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime? It's kind of like the kid in that book. This school is exclusively for kids with Autism, ADHD, and Oppositional disorder...the majority are Autistic. So they do react differently to different situations, and DS has always had an issue knowing whether something was done intentionally or accidentally. He doesn't have the empathy/insight. So he said it was intentional, but when he was talking to the doctor, he also said the kid wasn't watching where he was going. I don't know if that means DS yelled at him for not watching out and the kid shoved him, or if the kid bumped into him and he interpreted it as a shove, or what. And he won't tell us his side...he HATES talking about sad/scary things. He didn't even want my husband to tell me what happened while he was in the room, because it makes him relive it. We have to wait until he's in bed, or outside playing or something to talk about incidents. That's something his therapist was trying so hard to get him to TALK about things. But he just wont. I really need to talk to the teacher to find out what exactly happened, because I know they are supervised at all times and chances are someone saw it and knows what actually went down. They can only have 14 kids in a class, and they have recess with their own class and usually a couple of adults.I’m sorry that you had to deal with a crazy parent... but FREE PRINTS?!?!?!!! Wow!! That’s worth it!!
Sounds like you did a wonderful job!
Wow. My heart goes out to your family, and especially your son.I would request a meeting with the school director, as well as the parents of the boy.
Are they even aware of either incident? Was the other boy reprimanded at all, or parents notified? At this point these incidents are too close together. The other child should be suspended and a permanent mark on his school record, one more incident and he should be expelled.
I usually wouldn’t say something like this, but I’m sorry, 2 incidents within a matter of months, 1 resulting in a broken bone, it’s too much.
T has been hurt on the playground, and other kids have been taken to urgent Care, sometimes broken bones, sometimes stitches. This happens during (tag) football or soccer though, not out of malicious behavior. If it was during a sport then the other family shouldn’t be responsible, but this sounds like the kid is trying to intentionally harm your son. I would definitely want a meeting with them, and with the school admin. It sounds scary.
Is there any classmates or even schoolmates who could drive him to and from school until he heals?
And yes.. I would love the name of the soccer player!
But since it IS the same kid, I do want to talk to the school about it, because obviously, even if these are all accidents, he's volitile and they should be kept apart. They need to consider the safety of the other students, so if this kid is aggressive, he shouldn't be in the class with other kids.
