When you have your meeting with the principal, be respectful, but FIRM. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Let him/her know you will NOT tolerate this type of assault being perpetrated on your child. If the principal is not helping, don’t be afraid to go up the ladder. If the child was older, I would suggest getting the police involved. There was a boy pinching my daughter and her friends on their breasts and butts in middle school. It was relatively dismissed until I notified the superintendent and boy’s parents that I’ve given all the girls instructions to call the police if this should happen again. This was sexual assault (something that is taken very seriously in this state) and if they were unwilling to deal with it, the proper authorities would.
Perhaps a suggestion that social service investigates why this other child is acting out is a good idea. But it is not your problem to find out why this other child is being so aggressive, but to protect your own child. It sounds like this bullying is having a profound impact on your daughter’s life.
