Wellesley Mom Says Young Biracial Daughter Bullied Without Consequences At Local School 

I seriously think the school administration/system is part of this problem 😐.

Going thru it with Wellesley Public School with my 3 year old black son smh. David Lussier is lackluster in his approach to reach out to parents. Disenrolling my son soon

I was called 'slank-eye' when I volunteer as a lunch parents in Wellesley Middle School, this May, by a few students, right in front my face, completed with the hand-eye gesture. I reported to school but I don't think school admin acted on it.

unbelievable. Can't imagine this happens in elementary school.

Post the names of the bullies

so sorry this is happening. the areas outside of Boston are very white and the trouble lies entrenched in the history of the place. Some of us are not so far removed from the history there that has been covered and buried. In the old days my family settled from Italy on Donazetti Street. The farm my grandfather labored on has disappeared and been erased by those who wanted to cover up that dark history. Naturally my family did not stay in Wellesley as times changed. My great grandmother made wedding dresses for the wealthy families in Wellesley. Although the men in the family ended up doing very well, I would never say the same for the women. As a child I often found myself relating to black and brown skinned children than white children but there were not many black and brown children as the 70s and 80s marched ahead with the explosion of the tech industry. I hope that you and your family can find a place to be you. I hope that for me too! I am still looking. And...far from Wellesley.

THESE PEOPLE ARE SICK

I talked with a few neighbors, we all feel Mary's pain, please transfer August to another school, like Hardy, that school administrators really nice, or Schofield as Tina mentioned while you are pursuing this issue to the next stage. I supposed Tina went to the police to resolve her son's false accusation too. As parents and guardians to young kids, we will have to fight for them! I completely agree with Tina's last comment

I sincerely hope and pray that young August is now safe, happy, thriving, and excelling in school. With that said, it would be great if August could learn some basic defense moves so that she'll feel better and more confident in standing up for herself as she grows up. I see a bit of myself in August when I was her age. A boy who sat in the row next to mine kept pulling my ponytail, yet even after repeatedly telling him to stop, he persisted. Feeling fed up and tired of his shenanigans, I gave him one final warning that I would slap him if he did it again. Sure enough, he pulled, and I got up from my desk and slapped him hard, making good on my promise. Unfortunately, the teacher only chose to take action against me that day by immediately marching up to me and whacking my hand three times really hard with her golden rubber sole. It hurt like crazy, but that boy never pulled my hair again.

Sue the school

This is heartbreaking honestly!

Is this racial? Are the attackers non white? Just asking.
