The 4 year old bully

I hesitated to write about this tonight but I think it needs said.  I am livid!  My 5 year olds have been picked on for a year and a half now.  The bully is 4.  You see, my boys have apraxia and Matthew is having issues with toileting.  We are going to a doctor or two or three about it and he has lost all ability to control his toileting.

We've endured a year and a half of this child hitting, kicking, scratching, and name calling.  He's called Jon stupid, fart-boy and a few other names.  Today my baby, my Matthew, came home from school and said this child called him "Shit-head." 

I have contacted teachers, child study team, principals and this kid is STILL harrassing my children.  My sweet baby boys are being sent off to school where I thought they were safe and being cared for.  Instead they fear going and rideing on the bus with this 4 year old child.  That shouldn't be so.  When I brought it to the school's attention last time the CST person called me back and told me I was picking on this child and they were more sophisticated than my boys.  If that is what sophisticated looks like I don't want my boys to be so.  I'd rather than enjoy and embrace the innocence of  their youth. 

I don't know if I can look into the eyes of these boys and promise they will feel safe tomorrow....it's my job to do so and I can't make that promise to them when I send them to school.
