OP, my question about showing to the guards is to see if they think it its admissible.the CCTV may be inadmissible if not collected properly.
Have you shown it to the guards?
Horrible situation. The impact of that sort of bullying can be live changing. The sense of powerlessness is overwhelming.Ongoing bullying issue. Have finally caught them on cctv assaulting my son - can we go after the parents for compensation for my son.
Don’t even care about the money - we’ll give it away. Sick of dealing with parents who don’t give a damn what their kids do and guards who have to give them 47 chances!
Bullying has an awful effect on the victim. I would suggest as you've already spoken to the Gardai that a visit to the parents of the ringleaders would be worthwhile. Go there in a cool calm manner and explain what has been happening and ask them to speak to their children so that this can stop. I'd do this regardless of whether they're reasonable people or not. Keep calm.If after initial contact it doesnt stop go back again and in the same courteous manner say it all again, and that it hasn't stopped. Finally say that if it continues you'll be forced to contact social services as there must be something wrong with a child who behaves in that way. Youd prefer not to of course but would feel obliged to. All done very sweetly of course. Might just do the TRICK. No one wants a complaint to social services.
Totally agree.HiDireTrouble1234,
Sorry to say I would totally disagree with a few of your points as I feel it could turn nasty.
I don't think a visit to the parents is a good idea at all.
Telling the parents of the main culprit 'that there must be something wrong with a child who behaves in that way' will only wind them up further. Don't forget the expression, monkey see, monkey do, probably wouldn't be too far off the mark here and these children may well have learnt their behaviour from their parents.
Although the civil action names the grandmother as the owner, it is the house insurance liability cover that is the point of the action.Your family solicitor will be able to advise you on this but I can't can't see any reason if you can prove that it happened and that your child suffered a personal injury (physical or mental) due to the assault. There was a case last week of a family suing their child's granny in relation to a dog attack that left horrific injuries. Might be of interest.
That website is so depressing, the spurious claims being settled left, right and centre. Is it any wonder our insurance costs are so high.Your family solicitor will be able to advise you on this but I can't can't see any reason if you can prove that it happened and that your child suffered a personal injury (physical or mental) due to the assault.
