School buses have cameras with audio. Your best bet is to threaten the school with a lawsuit. If you do end up having to go through with it, get the courts to subpoena to school for the video

I am so confused. Why do you think you can control someone else’s behavior? There is not a single person alive who hasn’t been called names. And girl I know has been called the b word. If it isn’t this child doing it, another one will. Teach your daughter how to stick up for herself

You will never be able to stop everything bad in the world from coming in contact with your kid. As a parent you need to tell your kids there are bad and horrible.people in the world that won’t like them. Be the bigger person walk away and not let it get to you.
Don’t put her in a box and don’t let her be self conscious about it. Be bigger and smarter about it.

But me personally, if it were physical I would be calling the school the bus people and talking to the parents. Yes words can be harsh. And all kids are raised different. Either turn the cheek stick up for herself or move seats.
If you have issues with school, GO to the district! Works wonders usually

Most parents have conditioned their kids to sit and stay after sitting. The kids do NOT have to sit and take it. But now you have to teach this to them.

You gonna go raise hell over every insult your child receives? Empower your child on how to deal with it herself. This low level of name calling doesn’t need raising hell at school like some kind of monster Karen. Now if he called her a cøck juggling thunder cünt I might agree with you. Everyone gets called a bitćh though, teach her how to deal with it like the rest of us. Personally I go with thanking people for calling me a bitćh. Seems to always get them to shut up and go away. 
Lol good luck. My daughter got smacked in the face by A BOY on the bus. I made them pull footage. Kid didn’t get in ANY TROUBLE. They told my daughter she shouldn’t have sat in the back of the bus. She also got pulled into a bathroom by a girl and got her hair pulled before she got away and the girl got in no trouble, they all “talked it out with a counselor”… Regardless to say that was her last week going to school. These schools don’t give no shits.
Get on the bus with your daughter and have a conversation with him let’s go back to your home and you can tell mum all about the words you said to my daughter
Watch him scorwm
With fear no you can’t come to my house mum won’t let you bla bla
That’s how I’d handle it.

I’m sorry, but I totally disagree with these comments to just let it go.
Always have your kids’ back. Teach her to stand up for herself. If someone starts saying that stuff to your kid, bullying is not acceptable. Teach your kids that if someone hits them, or whatever, they have your permission to stand up for themselves.
If this kid keeps picking on her, go find his parents and tell them to get their kid to knock it off or you will.
I will have zero tolerance for anyone messing with my kid. Too many young children take their lives from bullying. Do not let it go on, do something about it yourself.

Similar situations have happened to my kids on their bus… i usually wait at the bus stop the following morning and explain to the bus driver the situation and follow that by a call to the front office
I once waited at the school gate and had a chat to a kid who was harrassing my son because the school did nothing about it. I told him I’d break every finger on his hand if he ever came near my boy again. Did I get called to the principal office? Yes. But did he never go near my son again? Also yes.

Teach her to stand up for herself!! I was bullied all through school and they didn’t leave me alone until I talked sh*t back!!
How old are these kids? What exactly do you suggest they do to “punish” this other child? Do you know what this other child’s home life is like?
There’s a child who nearly every other kid in my daughter’s grade has a problem with. At first, I was mad too. Then I found out the child’s mother abandoned him and his father just doesn’t give a crap. The school can only do so much. With the father refusing to enforce good behaviors, we all are stuck while the system handles this, which because absolute basic needs are met, nothing will be done.
It’s not always the child’s fault, especially when they’re not being taught right from wrong at home.

I told my kids…
1st tell the person to stop
2nd if they still continue, tell the adult in charge (bus driver, teacher, whoever is watching them)
3rd if nothing is done still… stand up for theirselves however they see fit (according to the situation) … I will have thier back… they might get in trouble at school, but they won’t at home
It has worked for my kids… & bullies won’t mess with them now because they know they won’t just sit & take it

It’s just a word. Either she can stand up for herself or let it go, it’s not like this changes when we get older. I ask my daughter “does it physically hurt you?” No…”does it affect anything in your life like school or sports or how you can do something?” No…”Do you know who you are as a person and treat people the way you want to be treated?” Yes….”ok then who f’ing cares what they say or think?!”
There will ALWAYS be someone, no matter what age you are that doesn’t like you or get along with you, say “mean” things or call names for whatever reason. The second you give them power over you and your emotions is the second you have lost yourself.
Also, I was raised that you have to give respect to get it, and teach her the same, but very few kids and even adults have any sort of respect these days. It’s a reflection of that person, not me.
If this became a consistent bullying situation then I would step in, but otherwise, we have to teach our kids how to handle things themselves.

Talk to the bus driver. Ask her if she has heard anything. If the child is screaming at yours they will hear. If they say they heard nothing ask them about procedures about this and where to go with complaints. First step is reporting it. Even if there is no proof,it is still a complaint that can go on record.

Calm down and then go to the board of education and express your concern. I see where they say there’s no proof - that very much so could be a problem. Kids are going to say things that they hear in the home, on tv etc. As the adults we have to set a good example and advocate for our children. Sometimes things can’t be prevented and only addressed or corrected. If the child is old enough to have a phone, like majority of children do now, have her record her bus ride home from now on and get your proof. Ultimately, you need to be calm and give your daughter the example of how to remain cool, calm and collected while addressing life situations.

Doesnt your bus have cameras? I’m a bis driver in Montana not sure where you live but we have cameras thankfully I’ve had some crazy stuff happen. Yes the school can take care of it but the bis company should write the kid up and pull cameras.
Do not get on the bus at all it is nationally illegal for you to do something like that.
First thing to do is call the bus company they can move her or him they can discipline. It’s hard I have a really rough group of kids this year and as a driver we are responsible for these kids but so is the school they are supposed to work together on everything
Did you consider maybe the child has impulse reactions or autism or maybe another diagnosis?
My now adult children when younger is jump the ball like this but still find out if there’s something behind this or even if parents are notified or the bus company has been contacted ?
Now with 3 younger children and the 8 and 5 yr olds are ADHD and one with autism as well I’m a bit more understanding and guaranteed for parents with children that can be like this(or me anyways) it’s embarrassing and I get mortified at things my children can say and do.They do not understand feelings and emotions of others let alone there own or understand the NO straight away.They understand things in different ways and need to be approached in different ways.Confronting a young child to me has always been a big NO,NO!
This child could already have other personal issues and you could make them worse.Also teach your daughter how to ignore and walk or move away from a situation she doesn’t want to be in or near as the child could be wanting a reaction.I’m not excusing the Behavior at all but there’s ways to deal and ways to not when we don’t k ow a whole situation.

At the risk of being slated, but unfortunately there isn’t much you can do about name calling. You may not like the word and may not like people calling your child it, but at the end if the day kids are going to be kids and will continue to do so. You can ask for your child to be moved away, that will stop the kicking of course it will, but the name calling won’t. Some kids just don’t learn.

Teach your child this is not okay. You will never be able to parent any one else’s kids. And in a public school environment that is going to happen. May need to look into privet schooling if you want the kids your child is surrounded with to actually have standards in their behavior. The teachers pay a lot more attention with smaller groups of kids.
