Camels please take AmyAus's advice and call Al Ameen. The bullied child can be pushed to breaking point ( see youtube on Amanda Todd ).It sounds serious and you seem concerned, if it were me I would take some form of action. All the best.

This is our scenario - can anyone advise? We withdrew our daughter from school earlier in the year due to bullying, our daughter is now residing in our home country and I will be joining her at the end of the year, leaving my husband here. Last weekend the bullying continued here in Dubai - indirectly , which of course my daughter got to hear about.Thankfully there is a third party witness to this event. I can not go to the police as I did not witness anything and this recent incident did not happen directly to my child. Can anyone suggest ways of dealing with this before someone gets badly hurt?

My son was being bullied by a kid 2 years older. I didnt know about it until it had gone on for a whole school year and part of the next. I went to pick him up from school oneday, and found him in the nurses office. He had been hit in the eye by a lunch box. When I asked him about it he finally told me about this boy who has been bullying him. I was so mad and felt so bad for my poor son, that I said "is the boy here now"? He said yes he is upstairs in Karate. I marched upstairs straight to the karate class in session and had him pointed out. I went straight to the teacher and said I need to talk to that boy. The karate teacher called him over. I scolded him in front of the karate teacher and said if you ever hurt my son again, you will have to deal with me and I will go straight to your parents! All the kids laughed at him and clapped! The karate teacher just stood there with his arms folded as if he were backing me up. The boy has been nothing but nice to my son now. I did report it to the head miss as well and his parents did find out about it. <em>edited by gusncoley on 26/09/2012</em>

Oh my! I am overwhelmed by the responses ladies! I am just an ordinary woman trying hard to be a good mother for her children, saying that I did blamed myself for not acting quick enough once I did see the signs; doesn't want to go to school, wanting to sleep in my bed all the time, not wanting to talk about school at all. I even thought it was something in the class and did wright to his teacher to meet her, and she sat an appointment for today- sure I did show up yesterday and finished the whole situation - now I am working on boosting his self esteem and confidence, and this need patience. I did enrolled DS in a self defense class as after school activity, karate will help me as well as zebra55 recommended. Ladies either it was the school keen on keeping the 0% bullying tolerance or it was contacting the police and KHDA did the magic, what I can think off was you wonderful ladies, you are the one who gave me the strength throw this, your words and advices did solve this problem in the first place, I won't have the power to go to police in the first place only because this forum have wonderful knowledgable ladies who guided me in this mayhem. I did receive the apology letters from the 3 boys, 2 of them are real apology, and one only is not an apology more than shifting the blame, this one is the elder brother of the 2 boys. I can accept this, knowing I will keep an eye and told DS not to talk to any of them, knowing it will be a matter of time, that we will be shifting homes - hopefully soon - then changing buses will be involved, unless DH do listen to me and let me drive him to work then take DS to school every day, yes I will be tired but will guarantee the safety and well-being of DS. Oh EW! I love you. Thank lovely ladies :)

Gorobattie I have read through the thread and can only say I am so sorry your LO has had to go through this bullying. My GD has recently started school and catches the bus,I can only imagine how devistated I would feel if she were bullied. You have been pro-active and I commend you. As other posters have said keep an eye on the situation as you never know if these bullies will play up again.

I am glad it worked out just make sure you put your son in some self defense classes.My little nephew kept getting picked on too, even after the boys involved where suspended. Children can sometimes be very cruel

Gorobattie, I am so glad to hear that the school have taken action. One has to wonder if the threat of filing a police report might have spurred them on a wee bit, but like Marroosh said it was your persistence and determination that got the results. Hope those boys have had a good telling off from both the school and their parents, and that you and your little boy sleep better tonight.

Good for you!!!!!!!!!! Funny, had you not gone to the police and KHDA, I bet the school wouldn't have been so reactive so quickly. You did the right thing, and your son knows he can count on you to protect him. So proud of you, and hope this is soon a distant memory for your son.

Just got off the phone with the deputy of junior school, he told me the 3 bullies got a big tell off, that the 2 brothers were upset that their parents will knew about what they had done, and the school did contact the parents of the bullies and the parents were cooperative in that manner. All the 3 boys been separated around in the same bus and won't be allowed to sit with each other anymore, the attendant in question been issued a warning letter for her neglect ion, my son will be seated beside the attendant, and in general the attendants of the school buses will be monitored in this regard, that they are encouraged to intervene and they have to be proactive, and lastly I will be issued an apology letter from the parents of these 3 boys and signed by them, the deputy will visit DS to check on him and comfort him that he doesn't have to be afraid of school or the school bus....already the bus attendant been changed and been assigned in another bus. He asked me to dismiss or cancel the police report as there is no need to follow up on it, and asked me to contact KHDA with the same. I can say that I am now relieved and can go have a shower and get some sleep, as I am awake since yesterday morning, I finished the phone call surprisingly crying with relief. Alismum, thank you for your words, it did made me tearful, you are wonderful woman. simpleasabc,Marroosh, verdeque, salsB,and Kooky, Thank you for your wonderful support and nice advices, you are great. And last thing; Do not accept or settle for accepting this treatment of bullying, it won't go away, it will stay unless you stood up for it and nip it in the bud, the more you keep quite, the more you will be bullied, after all what I had gone throw my school years, that made me not being able to go bathrooms where beating up happens, I kept quite about it, didn't had someone to tell, it made me keep looking over my shoulder all the time, that I swear to myself I will never ever let my LO go throw what I went throw. Please do go to police and raise the matter, police do listen to these concerns and they are more than understanding these issues. Once more, thank you all for your support, now I am just awaiting the letters, and I will keep picking up and dropping off DS to school, that means I will be the family driver until we shift homes - God only know when - then DS will be transferred to another bus that go to the new neighborhood, and in the mean time, working on DS self esteem and getting him off the nail bitting habit. Thank EW, you never fail me.

Couldn't sleep at all, maybe only an hour throw the night. I walk up this morning, told DS that I will take him to school not by school bus, ladies, I wish you could see his face, he was happy and no dramas as usual in the morning, he was chatty and cheerful. I waited for the school bus, to know what grades are these 3 boys are, 2 of them are in the same class G5, and the other G3, and one from the G5 is the brother of the G3. I asked about - the names of the bullies, and only one answered, I asked him what grade he is, then he was concerned what happened, I told him you know exactly what you did, and you will hear from your teacher, and the same with the other 2 boys. Took DS to school and he was kind enough to help another child to swipe their access card - the attendance card - then he done his own :) then went to see the deputy of junior school, I told him exactly what happened and I did file a complain with the police and KHDA, the deputy told me he already was not happy with the performance of the bus attendants as they do not involve enough in such situations like that and not proactive, that he pulled out 2 of them, he listened to me carefully and - surprised surprise - he told me why go to police or the ministry with something like that, and I should go first to school, but he said he totally understand what I am going throw, I requested from him a letter from the parents of the 3 boys and sign it, that these 3 boys won't get in touch under any condition with DS, and the deputy assured me that what will happen, and a full investigation with the attendant why she did nothing and ignored the complain of DS, he is only a KG2 boy. Now I am waiting for the reply from the school, as I won't let this go under the bridge, if I did not get a reply by the end of the school day, as the police officer last night told me, I will initiate the police report about the 3 bullies, now I have their full name, as there were a list of every school bus number with the names of the children/kids attending it. I feel weak and tired, but can't go to sleep, I will go to sleep after I get a resolve to this issue. Ladies, thank you for your words and advices, it did support me throw the night and kept me going. EW you never fail me. Thank you. You and your little boy, bless him were on my mind last night as well. I hate to see bullying. I always tell my eldest (Grade 10) that whenever he is able to, he should always stand up for those weaker than himself. I told him today to keep an eye out for the little ones on the bus (he generally sleeps on the way) and to step in, or inform someone in authority if he sees anyone being bullied. I think the least the school should do is send a letter to the parents threatening to evict the students from the bus for the term/year if this behaviour carries on. Anyway I am glad that you didn't let it go. Let's see what happens next with the school, maybe the boys (and attendant) will be hauled before the school principal today, I certainly hope so.

You poor thing, Gorobattie, but good on you for what you're doing. It is shocking that the bus attendants let it go like that. I hope it is all resolved satisfactorily and quickly.

My eldest DD was bullied at secondary school in the uk, school didn't really care, even thou they had an anti bullying policy in place. So hope it is so different here, as my DD was so distraught and it took ages for her to break down and tell us what was going on, really, can't explain how I felt, it did break my heart that she suffered for months, and she just couldn't share her pain.

I really feel for you! And glad you went to the police station, as I wouldn't have even thought of that, but that should scare the heck out of the bus driver and the school. Can you follow the bus to school to confront them as they get off and get their full names? Can your son tell you their names? Please do go to their teachers and the head teacher, and insist that they protect your child! Keep that fire in you! If it makes you feel better, my son asked if I could home school him today, as the schools here are so different from what they're used to. I'm just trying to get as much as I can out of him every day, to stay on top of anything he or his sister needs help with. If you ever need to speak with someone privately, let me know and I'll post my email address for you. Best of luck tomorrow! DS did told me their names - only first names - and that is more than enough, the bus is a hiac one that max it will take 11 passenger in. Believe it or not, I was bullied when I was in school, I know that feeling, and my children or any child in the world should not know this feeling. Omg 11 kids only and this has been going on! Hope you have some strong words with the driver in the am!

I was actually suggesting that you just get their names, not find their homes. While I would also be outraged (and have been in your shoes), do you think the school might have had the benefit to do something about it before you contacted KHDA? I'm just trying to imagine the school's reaction, so you can expect it tomorrow. I understand you're very upset, but I do hope that they will intervene and deal with it on your son's behalf swiftly, as well. I also think the apology from the boys is a great idea. Your poor son, I hated my son having to deal with that sort of thing at such a young age. It sort of takes away from their innocent world view.

for a first thought, going after the bus and knowing where does every boy live sounded great idea, but if I done this; it will be personal, I need to have big profile for this matter so it will get resolved, keeping it quite won't solve it, in fact; it will make these boys go further. Once the school involved and knew that police does know that - and I did complained to KHDA via email - this will solve it, if I went to the parents, most of the time - as I did made a research earlier - parent will be denial and won't do anything or just will try to bully me as well - as some parents of the bullies do have a sweet nice approach that make it difficult for the victim's parents to complain, then the bullies do feel they have powers over the little one that nothing can stop them. I did involved KHDA, and the school will know about it and I will let them know that I did went to police. the school did have the courage to rise the fees this year because of the KHDA report, so they have to be afraid that KHDA will investigate them for that matter. I can't believe myself thinking this way now. I guess the emotional rollercoster did finish it's ride, and my problem solving thinking did come back to it's place.

Oops please see my updated post for the other suggestion I wish if they have CCTV in the bus, they don't, and really I have no idea about the other three boys, as DS is the first one to be picked up and the last one to be picked up.

Grobattie perhaps you could ask for a copy of the video from the bus and send it to the parents/police? Great to see so many ladies standing by their bullied kids - they don't have the skills to deal with it and REALLY need you. edited by Kooky on 23/09/2012 I wish if they have CCTV in the bus, they don't, and really I have no idea about the other three boys, as DS is the first one to be picked up and the last one to be picked up.

If there's no video, I think following the bus and watching/stopping it at the time of an incident is an excellent idea. (obviously you'll need someone else to drive if you're watching!!!lol) Great to see so many ladies standing by their bullied kids - they don't have the skills to deal with it and REALLY need you. <em>edited by Kooky on 23/09/2012</em>

Just come home from the police station, the police told me that I need to go to the school and not let my son go on the bus in the morning, and get an apology from the 3 boys and the bus attendant, in the beginning he told me he need a hospital report, I told the officer the damage is psychological not physical, and DS was holding back, then the officer insisted that I need to give the school the names of the 3 boys, and tell them that I was in the police station last nigh, and see the reaction of the school, if no action been taken, then this time I have to make a police report and hospital report. The officer was kind and understanding, that's why he told me to tell the school that I was in the police station for that matter. DS now is sleeping in my bed - which now make sense he started sleeping in my bed since the beginning of the school - and I told him he is bright, he is kind and he is smart. I am now trying to revers all the negative ideas these 3 boys from h e l l planted in him, I feel fire inside me, that I want to bully these 3 boys the same way they bullied my sweet DS. I finished crying but now I feel the anger eating me, I need to finish this anger tonight, as I need to be cool minded when I go to school tomorrow morning. I went even crazy that I want home schooling him, but this not the right thing to do. I will be in the morning to talk with the bus attendant and ask her what grades are these boys in, the school bus company is arab falcon, and they have their office inside the school, so the bus is fully responsibility of the school itself.

If it were me, I'd get on that bus, or follow it to school, find each boy, take their names down, and head straight to the Head Teacher, and also reach out to their parents. They need to know that you will not tolerate that sort of behavior. It's beyond belief that a 5 year old is being treated like this, and he needs to know that you will protect him. I would def ask the driver to put him in front, as it sounds like it needs to be, anyway. He is much too young to have to deal with this, and there's no way he'll have the tools to cope with it. Obviously you can mention it to the driver in a kind, but firm way, so the driver is on your side and doesn't feel threatened. But if they do nothing, complain! I have a 5 year old, and an 8 year old. My 8 year old has been bullied twice in his life. The first was on a school bus, when he was 6, and I went to the house of the kid, and spoke with the parents, in a non-confrontational, but informative way (ie there's no way the kid would be going home telling his parents he was bullying someone). My son had been trying for some time to tell him to stop, but I had told him to let me know if he needed my help, and he finally told me he was having a hard time dealing with it on his own. The second time was when he was 7, and the kid was awful to him. I called his mother, who was mortified, and I thought that would be that. But weeks later, my son was in tears and asked me to help out. This time the mother flipped out on me (she was nuts) and pulled her kid out of school. The teacher told me secretly she was glad he was gone but that it made no sense that they pulled him out of school when they could have worked it out somehow. My son is not the type to be bullied, but he has very good manners, and I think he can't wrap his head around kids who could be cruel to one another, so he'll start with talking with them, and I've coached him on what to say, but to be honest, if kids are determined to bully, they won't stop. If it's not in your personality to step in, maybe your husband can? I'd escalate fast and hard to nip this in the bud, as it must be very daunting for your poor little one to go to school each day.

Gorobattie, When the bus picks him up tomorrow, speak to the driver and attendant and insist that your son sits at the front near the attendant. My son is the same age as your son and he also takes the bus, and there's children from KS1 to Grade 12 on this bus. The youngest are sat at the front near the driver and attendant and the elder ones at the back. The bus company has policies and some have CCTV installed. Please write an email to the bus company (I would put the school principal in the copy as well), or phone them tomorrow telling them what your son has told you, and say that you want immediate action taken on these boys and also tell them that you have been in touch with the police and are prepared to take things further if the matter is not resolved. Which bus company is it? <em>edited by Alismum on 23/09/2012</em>

Gorobattie, Perhaps you could get in touch with the school bus company and file a complaint about these boys and ask them to take action, also inform them that you will be contacting the police and relevant authorities. See how they respond.. Also I saw this on the KHDA website [i'>"What should I do if my child is being bullied at school? KHDA encourages all schools to have a child protection policy in place. We advise you to raise any incidents or concerns immediately with the school and, if you are not able to resolve the issue, please contact us".[/i'> http://www.khda.gov.ae/Pages/En/commonQuestionssch.aspx Knowledge and Human Development Authority Block 8, Academic City, P.O Box 500008, Dubai, U.A.E. Tel: +971-4-3640000 Fax: +971-4-3640001 Email: [email protected] Twitter: twitter.com\KHDA Just got off the phone with the police - couldn't get intouch with the department - and police did advise me to go to school and complain and tell the school.If it have not been resolved I can file a police report about those 3 boys. I am crying as I couldn't see this, I did ask the bus attendant if there are older kids in the bus and she said no there isn't - she lied - in the beginning of the year. It just all come to me when DS - he is bright - and he was spelling words that he hear it and wright it down in - not his homework - and he spelt the name of the ring-gang boy, I asked him what is this boy doing : is he good to you? then he told me that he wants this boy to like him so - the bully - stops annoying him! then he told me about the other 2 who grab him from his cloths, telling him he is from h e l l , one of them told DS he have brain better than DS's, and calling names, been hit on his head, and one hold DS's knee in aggressive way, and singing the I love you - barny's song - in a bad way with words saying he will kill him, and the bully will eat DS for dinner. I asked him what did the bus attendant said, he told me she said nothing. It hurts me that DS is going throw this mental torture and physical abuse and didn't say a word about it, he just kept telling me it's easy to skip school simply by not getting in the school bus. DS is sweet little boy, and I can't imagine where I went wrong in this, I always old him he can tell me anything even if he made a big mistake, and I won't shout at him. I feel for your boy, I know how it is to be bullied. I was bullied for a long time in high school, and it seems like nobody sees or hears anything. Until now I still get nervous when I feel someone doesn't really like me.. It's a strange feeling:( Don't allow it to get worse for your son, school should be a time he should look back on with good memories. Is there a way you can do the school run yourself? Or find out if other moms are driving their kids to school and they might be able to take him, just to get him out of the situation. And if school doesn't act, go to the police and file a complaint. No child should have to go through bullying, it will leave marks for a long time. Will keep your son and you in my du'ahs.. <em>edited by Marroosh on 23/09/2012</em>

Gorobattie, Perhaps you could get in touch with the school bus company and file a complaint about these boys and ask them to take action, also inform them that you will be contacting the police and relevant authorities. See how they respond.. Also I saw this on the KHDA website [i'>"What should I do if my child is being bullied at school? KHDA encourages all schools to have a child protection policy in place. We advise you to raise any incidents or concerns immediately with the school and, if you are not able to resolve the issue, please contact us".[/i'> http://www.khda.gov.ae/Pages/En/commonQuestionssch.aspx Knowledge and Human Development Authority Block 8, Academic City, P.O Box 500008, Dubai, U.A.E. Tel: +971-4-3640000 Fax: +971-4-3640001 Email: [email protected] Twitter: twitter.com\KHDA Just got off the phone with the police - couldn't get intouch with the department - and police did advise me to go to school and complain and tell the school.If it have not been resolved I can file a police report about those 3 boys. I am crying as I couldn't see this, I did ask the bus attendant if there are older kids in the bus and she said no there isn't - she lied - in the beginning of the year. It just all come to me when DS - he is bright - and he was spelling words that he hear it and wright it down in - not his homework - and he spelt the name of the ring-gang boy, I asked him what is this boy doing : is he good to you? then he told me that he wants this boy to like him so - the bully - stops annoying him! then he told me about the other 2 who grab him from his cloths, telling him he is from h e l l , one of them told DS he have brain better than DS's, and calling names, been hit on his head, and one hold DS's knee in aggressive way, and singing the I love you - barny's song - in a bad way with words saying he will kill him, and the bully will eat DS for dinner. I asked him what did the bus attendant said, he told me she said nothing. It hurts me that DS is going throw this mental torture and physical abuse and didn't say a word about it, he just kept telling me it's easy to skip school simply by not getting in the school bus. DS is sweet little boy, and I can't imagine where I went wrong in this, I always old him he can tell me anything even if he made a big mistake, and I won't shout at him.
