[41/f] My son (7/m) got bit by a kid at school and they refuse to do anything about it.

On Friday, my son (7) came home with a serious bruise on his arm. It was swollen, i asked what happened. He told me that on the line for the bus, this kid in his class just bit him. Why? I don't know. He said he's never even talked to that kid. He said he didn't ask for help because you're supposed to be quiet during the bus arrivals.

He just laid down because he said he had a fever. He threw up that night, so i took him to the doctor, and they had to give a shot. I think Tetanus.

My son didn't want to go to school at all this week, he's been pretty upset since. I let him miss the days. I demanded to see the principal and his teacher, they let me have an appointment today. They said they asked some other kids who were there, they backed up his story that my son was just sitting there when the kid chomped him. Some other teachers have noticed a little bit of bullying on the other kid's end. I asked what they'd do about it. The teacher said it would be best to separate them.

They want to move my son into another class. I told them that wasn't gonna work, because he's got a lot of friends in his current class. I asked why they were being so lenient. The Principal butted in and said "David's not like other kids. He lives with his grandma and he's got a rough home life." Then they told me that he has Autism. It wouldn't be fair if they punished him.

This made me so mad, so i decided to press charges against the school, the boy's family, and am suing them for the medical bill and emotional damages.

Tl;dr - Son got bit by a kid at school, i went to the school to complain and they won't do anything about it.
