Is there a Law preventing adults loitering around playgrounds?
To cut a long story short,My daughter is being seriously bullied by a girl at their junior school.Despite all our evidence and teacher witnesses,The girls mother insists that her child is innocent and has now (among many other strange things) has taken to loitering outside the school playground at break times,spying on the children most probably in the hope to prove us wrong??.
Anyway,my question is...Is there not a part of (UK) The child Protection Act that prohibits this?
Also,Though our daughters are only 7 and 8,and we are already working with the school to put a stop to it...if the bullying is so severe that my daughter is coming home nearly every day with cuts and large bruises..Is there anything we can do legally??
Thankyou for your help in advance! xx
*Tin-God...Thankyou but this has been going on for weeks now,We are working with the school but my daughter is still coming home with huge bruises.You obviously have not grasped what sort of woman this girls mother is...She rides round and round the block spying on us when we go in to see the headteacher,she SPYS on the children in the playground at break times goading my daughter,she comes up in my face every time i go to pick my daughter up.Im just wondering what the best approach is now.

No there is no Law to prevent her from what she is doing. Perhaps she is only watching her own child. If you are not getting any help from the Headteacher then you need to speak to your local Education Department.

A law preventing a parent from supervising their child on a playground? I don't think so. I realize that's not exactly what you said, but it kind of is, because the adult in question has a child on the playground.

why do you have a problem with this women watching what her child is doing ?
maybe if she sees her child bullying then she will act on it and stop it going on.
if the women does not believe her child is bullying then is it not a good thing she is willing to look for her self.
maybe if you got this women on side instead of pointing the finger the two of you and school might get to the bottom of it all

I would think only anyone on the offences register would be actually forbiden from even passing a primary achool play ground. I suppose anyone elso could until school staff reported them to police.
