My son is being bullied on the school bus

[Guest guest]

My son is 5 and rides the school bus home with my 7 year old and 10

year old. Today he came home in tears and couldnt even talk he was so

upset. I asked my daughter what happened and she said two boys were

calling him an idiot,stupid and a baby. I was furious and called the

school right away.The recieptionist informed me I needed to call

transportation, but when I have called in the past (conceringin my

older two children) nothing was resolved. So I said i wanted an

appointment with the principal and the boys parents. I was told they

arent allowed to make confrences between parents and that I should

teach my son that old saying 'sticks and stones may break my bones

but words will never hurt me' . Explaining something like that to a

normal 5 year old is challenging enough my my 5 year old is an aspie

so explaining anything is a difficult task. The recieptionist said

shed have the councelor call me tomorrow and possibly have the

principal call me today(no one called today).She also suggested

switching my son from afternoon kindergarten to morning so he wouldnt

be on the bus with these kids. Though I dont see how taking my child

out of his class and giving him a new one with new kids will make his

life easier. Any suggestions ? other then the obvious which is not

allow my children to ride the bus. I mean do we really live in a

society where picking on 'special needs' kids is that accecpted and

tolerated?I really got the impression she thought I was over

reacting.And maybe I am. Had it been one of my older childern who are

NT I probably would have told them to ignore it and or talk to the

bus driver.But as we all know Aspie kids dont understand things the

same way and hes really upset.Cried himself to sleep saying 'I dont

want to be an idiot' . No clue why these kids say this to him and no

clue what if anything I can do about it.
