My daughter was getting bit by a black kid back when she was in first grade, and the school called both families in to discuss the matter. I asked what was going to be done about it and got a bureaucratic word salad (as expected). So I looked to my daughter and told her:

“If this boy bites you again (I pointed to the kid) you pick up a chair and hit him in the head with it until he stops moving.”

The black kid and his white single mommy’s eyes got as big as cue balls; they’d never had anyone stand up to them. The school officials had the same look, and I said to them:

“If I get a call that my daughter has put that boy in the ICU, I’m going to congratulate her on doing your job. And remember this; if that’s the type of behavior I’ll reward in my child, just imagine what her old man will do.”

Never had a problem after that, and years later some staff praised me for “making a difference in that little boy’s life”, as his behavior from that point forward improved dramatically.

Maybe I’m a woodland hick, but I’ll offer some advice: these animals that we deal with have to be treated like a wolf pup. You have to get it when it’s young and bite it on the nose to show it who’s boss, and then you won’t have troubles with it once it’s grown.

They weren't concerned about the safety or wellbeing of your child. Calling both families in to discuss the matter was the school system covering their own asses! Great that you were not intimidated by their tactics.That was bullshit, as if both families should share equal responsibility because the school has none! Bravo for standing up to them!!! More parents need to wakeup and make good people of their children. Keep up the good work!

If there’s one thing I would stress to anybody going up against these NPC bureaucrats, it’s to stand up to them. You look them dead in the eye and you tell them what’s what and who’s who. Don’t bring up lawsuits and procedures, that’s on their side; you tell them that you aren’t playing by their rules. There’s an excellent scene in Tombstone where Wyatt Earp levels his .44 between the eyes of an outlaw and tells him: “Now your friends may get me in a rush, but not before I turn your head into a canoe”. That’s the mindset you have to put on when dealing with an NPC. They’re herd animals, and when you single one out they cower and submit. I’ve done this numerous times without fail, not because I want to, but because if I don’t they’ll just steamroll me and my family.
