[QUOTE="Malika, post: 440278, member: 11227"] The thing is that what constitutes "protecting" my son in this situation is actually more complex than meets the eye. He is happy and settled in his school; after some reflection, I feel that taking him out of it now would be violent in some sense and quite detrimental to his future development - that's just my intuition. So however I deal with this, it has to be by the rules and codes of the society and communit in which we find ourselves... I am actually split. Part of me thinks that I will hedge the whole thing and give her a "coded warning". Another part (and I suspect this is what is going to end up happening as it is so much more in keeping with my natural instincts) is that I will talk to her very sincerely and honestly, without blame or attack, and tell her that I know she is hitting him on the head, that I feel it's very damaging to him and we cannot stay if it continues... the art will be to try to talk to her in a way that is non-confrontational and non-threatening. I do feel rather sickened by what happens around abuse of any sort. It gets denied and those who speak out against it are villified... The assistant at the school to whom I spoke about it now studiously ignores me... Such is the way of the world. [/QUOTE]
