Yesterday it turns out, dear child was picked on quite badly at nursery. We think this has been going on since December. Dear wife went into nursery to talk to the staff today. Initially they tried to fob her off a bit and made out that it was all under control.

On her way out she passed dear child shout oh the red bus, my favourite! which seemed to be fighting words for the bully who immediately jumped out of his seat to push dear child and take the bus from him. Up until that point the bus had been on the floor, ignored by all.

Fortunately one of the staff was there, but all she did was say "we don’t push do we". This bully ignored her. When dear wife went back to the person who is meant to be dear child’s key worker and relayed what happened, she called the bully over.

"we don't push do we."
"yes, haha"

She repeated in his language, but all he did then was laughed even more at her.

It didn’t seem under control but dear wife explained that she doesn’t bring him there to get bullied. We don’t think the parents of this child are any better. Hopefully, if we play the moral high ground and dear child doesn’t fight back but gets help, the problem child will be moved somewhere else.

Dear child is constructing his own things out of lego.
