I won't go into the ins and outs of it but a boy 2 years older than him hit him round the head 10-15 times in an unprovoked attack. Other than trying to ward off blows my son didn't try and fight back (he thought he'd get in trouble if he did).
The incident was video'd by some of the attackers friends and has been seen by a member of staff but they gave the phone back (d'oh!) and it has now been deleted.
Anyway, schools disciplinary policy is likely to lead to exclusion of the other boy for a period of time, but not permanently.
School have suggested we contact the police 'if we want to' as they feel it was a serious assault and it wasn't '2 boys having a fight'.
He's home now and we'll take him to the Dr's later but he doesn't seem to be badly hurt - most of the punches that connected were to the side of this head.
My son's 13 if it makes any difference.
So, police or just deal with it through school?
