 So.

In my last entry I had noted that the kid that was bullying Finn (and his friend) was out of the afterschool program now.  Well, I have since learned that on Friday his friend tackled both Finn and his friend and grabbed them both by the neck and arm.  And Finn's arm's bruised.

Worse, the daycare never told us what happened.  Finn told us.  And when I contacted the program they lied to me.  They said that Finn hit the kid and the kid hit back.  But the bruising on his arm is totally inconsistent with a hit and is consistent with a grab.

I am pissed.

And I contacted CPS and am taking steps to getting some alternative afterschool childcare.

Good for you! Enough is enough.

Have you taken a photo of the bruise to show CPS?

If Finn had actually hit a kid, you can bet the after-school people would have called you. What a bunch of irresponsible incompetents.

A good plan, and a reminder to other parents to always document everything because you never know.

We really need stop calling it bullying and call it assault. That's what it is. Bullying is a term that people poo-poo too easily these days in this era of "you're a snowflake if you don't suck it up and live with it like I did when I was a kid". If those were adults, that would be an assault.

Any updates on this? I am glad CPS was taking it seriously.
