I'm interested to find out fellow forumites views on other children and their parents
personally I pretty much detest other children, don't trust them and don't trust their parents to act accordingly to protect my child but maybe my views are a little extreme, when I take my daughter to soft play I stand close by just incase another child gets close so I can peoples elbow the little blighter if he hurts any of my children - these views have been put in stone due to a recent event in my daughters nursery
she has only been going for just over a month due to the over 3's free hours a week and she loves it and her speech and communication skills are coming on a treat but she is coming back home with bites, bruises and pinch marks on her arm's but last week she was playing with an older boy (age 4) who decided he wanted something she had and bit her in the face, luckily one of the teachers was right beside them and saw everything that happened and removed the boy before he broke her skin. both sets of parents are given a report where we sign to say we have been told what happened and are happy with the actions taken, I was fuming personally so decided the next day to go in and speak to the headmistress with a couple of issues I have.
The next day I spoke to the head asked if other marks had been made by the same child, now for legal reasons we aren't allowed to know which child did it but it was made clear other marks had been made by the same child, told them that if she came home with one more mark I was going to complain to the school, oftsted and raise a petition to remove the child from the nursery mainly due to the information she told me that:
he had abused other children
the boy had to have a teacher present with him at all times to protect others
the school was struggling to cope
they had warned other children to stay at a distance when playing
most of the issues above come from the fact the child has special needs (ADHD) but if all the processes above are in place maybe a regular nursery isn't the best place for him and he should be visiting a special needs nursery
the head also told me that the boy had told his mother that ellie had bitten his tummy first and he defended himself and what he did was reasonable and wanted all statements filed to state her son was attacked, apologies from us for having a disruptive daughter obviously a teacher was present for the complete event and dismisses the boys story - but the bloody cheek of it and that annoyed me just as much as the attack
so are some parents so stupid that they fully believe that their children always tell the truth?
we were called because ellie bit someone, the girl who she was meant to have bit had no mark and nobody saw it but when ellie was asked she said yes, but we also showed them that if you asked if she was a horses antler or something ridiculous she also said yes because her communication skills are just a little behind - but we took it on the chin and signed and accepted it - I know what she is capable of and is so submissive around other children she doesn't defend herself, she would just take the attack and do nothing, trying to teach her to punch and kick if she gets attacked was difficult and it still didn't work
just don't want to lose my temper and be in the local press for attacking his father and punching a special needs child in the face (only joking)
