Child blamed for being bullied

Throwaway account.My 10 year old is physically disabled and has attended both private and public school. We have had a kid who has followed us (or at least been at both schools) who has targeted my son with verbal and physical harassment for nearly 2 years now.He calls him stupid and weak, he puts things on his head and down his shirt, he shoves and kicks, he punches and tackles him, he takes his things, licks and spits on his food, and is just kind of a dick.The schools have ignored my requests to please keep them separated.I have started collecting my documentation of every incident so that I can make a case to the administration, but I can't access my emails that are over a year old. So I called the school today to ask for documentation about physical altercations. They did not express any sympathy for me or my child and they did not offer to be helpful. Instead, TWO different people (the school counselor and his teacher) both told me that maybe I should enroll my son (the disabled child) in martial arts. Or maybe sports. Because kids who aren't in sports deserve to be hit at school?How is this view even remotely OK among teachers? That if I don't want my child to be targeted I need to enroll him in martial arts, not that they need to provide a safe environment.I don't know how to respond at all to these so called professionals who seem to think it's my child's fault other kids pick on him and they have chosen to absolve the bully and themselves of responsibility. My son likes the school, but I'm not sure I can send him somewhere where his teachers think hie deserves to be hit.I'm also a little upset (it's been nearly 2 years of this bullshit), and I know if I try and talk to them about it I will probably lash out in inappropriate ways because this has festered for a while (for the first years of the bullying, I was told that this kid was just trying to be friends because he was so concerned that my son didn't seem to have friends -- that's why he shoved him and spat on him; they also told me this kid's life story, as if spending time in foster care totally makes it OK for him to punch my child).I am livid that they are so full of sympathy for that child, but not for mine. My child has never hurt anyone. My child is targeted on a daily basis. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2sYsMFq
