| .....However, I've lived here for nearly 20 years. My kids are born here and have always been in the local school system. I have never experienced anything like this before......
.....I can't really be sure that the damage was not already there before the playground fracas with my son......
.....hit back damaging some item of the muggers property I wouldn't be offering to pay for it.....
I think the parents of the child should contact us as they want something from us.
......Obviously I don't want this to spill over into school for my son.......
......It will be interesting to see if anything further happens today.
Thanks for all your comments. | |

20 yrs...so you know more than most of us
I'd wait for the parents too. If they choose not to talk to you, they are choosing not to clear up the situation. You could even tell this to the kid.
And if another kid already had the issue with the belt buckle, then it will be the "bullys" reputation that precedes him, not your sons. (And you know that bullys just try harder next time, to find the boundaries)
The whole incident will have repercussions, whether you pay or not (which I would be inclined not to -if they start getting more narky, then i would ask for the jacket, and mend it myself - but thats just me)
Please let us know what happens at the end of the day
