Thanks ((Belle1979)) and ((Byz)). I'm not one for violence either Belle but sometimes there's no other way to stop the abuse and good for you for standing up for yourself. My daughter knows to restrain herself only for times of defense and I knew she was holding herself back. When I called the principle yesterday - I was very honest and said something has to happen quickly because I sense strongly this is going to get physical. I told her very openly I feared for her but more so for him because she's a gold medal winner and can do serious damage.
The principle told me she would speak to the boy and call his parent/s. When my daughter came home she said the boy, on his own said he was sorry and she accepted it and agreed to be peaceful. I'm happy it seems to be solved and obviously the principle must have said something very effective to get this result. She's a woman and I know she was very upset with what he called my daughter. Thanks again for everyones support.
