Q:
What are my rights and options because my son was physically and emotionally bullied by his teacher and classmates?
Our 6 yr old son was emotionally and physically bullied at Bethlehem Christian Academy in Hazel Green Al. We were sent home notes by the teacher almost everyday, stating that our son was being disrespectful, pushing other kids, ect. We started recording the class and found out the horrible truth. When we confronted the teacher, the chapel teacher, and the principal with the recordings the abuse not only continued but got worse. I asked to meet with the board and was given every excuse possible. Our sons Dr. thinks that he has post traumatic syndrome because of it all. The school posted on their web page that they are awaiting accreditation from two companies, after speaking with both companies I got the same answer. No BCA is not a member nor awaiting anything. So many other problems that were unattended by the principal for 3 years. Our son didn't have any complaints from his pre-school or kindergarten teacher there. I contacted the Alabama State Superintendents office, because the teacher holds a teaching certificate from the state, only to be told that there is nothing they can do. No investigation not even a reprimand in the teachers permanent record so this can't happen to another child or family. Who can I contact for HELP? What can or should we do? His mis-trust and pain has carried over to another school and they can't help. They basically did the same thing.
