Adult/Parent Loitering around my childs playground!?

Press charges. Children lie and manipulate as long as they can get away with it. A two year old knows when to lie. They don't have to be taught to do that. It is up to the parent to unteach those behaviors. This girl's parents are obviously doing nothing to teach her that bullying and lying are not acceptable behaviors. Isn't there a family court system in the UK?

This is very odd - as such the mother is really doing no harm & could argue that she is OK to be there as she is visting the school/ checking her child is ok etc - proving she is there for any other reason might not be so simple, however, if it was my child - I would be discussing this with the school and local authorities might be able to drive by and let her know they are 'watching'

Your documentation and photographs are good and hopefully you will never need them for any other reason then your own - again - 'proving' all this might not be as simple ... stuff like this is so crap and it truly takes every ounce of your self control not to want to grab this kid .... yes well, can't do any of that can you! :)

My suggestions - talk with the school, talk with the police, get some legal advice, do some break time drive by's yourself if possible ... and review if this is the right school for you and your child - NO .. one child should not be the reason for your child to move schools and dealing with difficult people is sadly a part of life and growing up - but this is beyond kids not being nice to each other!

My child was thrown to the floor and kicked in the head whilst at school when he was 10.I went to the school and first expressed my concern at how a teacher had split this up,but i had to hear of the incident from my child.I told the school that i would not put up with this.I told them to tell the other childs parents that if he ever strook my child again i would call the police.I don't know where i would have stood legally had i have to of persued it but i do know that it never happened again,hopefully the parents got the message that they are responsible for their childs actions.

If it is on school property and she signed in at the front desk as a "visitor", and her child is actually present, than there is nothing you can do about it unless she starts harassing the teachers or other students. She has as much right to be there to watch her child interact as you do with yours. HOWEVER, if she hasn't signed in to the school, she could get into serious trouble for trespassing...

If this is a public playground and her child is there, she also has a right to be there and you can't press charges.

Go to the police. if the school isn't doing anything then your next port is the police. Show them the pictures, tell them about the complaints. tell them everything. At the very least the will make the school do something.

And that school is appalling. I know this isn't always greeted well, but how about telling your daughter to punch the kid back. It helped me.

And I'm really sorry for you and your daughter.

no its not illegal to hang round unless she is on school properity, in which case the school could have the police remove her, if shes on the street they can ask her to move on but thats it.

i would send my daughter to self denfence class and tell her to hit back

if its all documented in the school.. what are they doing about it??

id probably join the mother, mostly to see what shes up to. and also teach your daughter that she has to stand up for herself.

I would document everything and then call the police.
