A UK mother has taken to Facebook to show what her seven-year-old boy has had to go through at school.
Her #Justiceforjak post describes the past few weeks in the life of her young son.
“My son was bullied all this term by one child!!†she wrote.
“He has been whipped with skipping ropes, stabbed with a pencil, scratched, punched, called names, stabbed with paperclips, hit around the face with a tennis racket.â€

THINGS GOT NASTIER
“The bully, his brother and two friends jumped on my sons head! But the latest incident on the 23/03/17 the bully was hitting my son in school and pushed him so hard he hit his head on a metal pole,†she explained.
Part of her reason for posting the awful injuries is what she says is the school’s lack of accountability.
“The school did not give him a head injury letter or even a cold compress,†she said.
They also described her son’s injury as ‘minor’.
“It was a letter sent to all parents saying that it was a MINOR INJURY that has got infected!!!I’m appalled at the school that I send my children to for 6 hours, 5 days a week to be put in danger and then dismissed,†she wrote.

POLICE SAY THEY CAN’T HELP
The police also told her there was nothing they could do, as the child perpetrator was under 10.
Here’s her account of how things got so bad for poor Jak.
“I complained on the 24/3/17 that Jaks bump had swollen very big! I took him straight to a&e I were told it was concussion I asked for a second opinion and got sent home,†she wrote.
“On the 29/03/17 I took Jak to a doctor as his lump was still very big and had started leaking pus he was then put on antibiotics.
“On the 31/3 I took jak to a doctor at 8am, again I was told it was concussion I was unhappy about this and at 8pm the very same day I took him to an emergency doctor. The pus was getting worse and head pains… he was given another antibiotic to take.
“On the 01/01/17 my little Jak turned 7. He spent the day in bed and then had a party at jungle land where he sat in the toilet until his friends left his own party as the pain was so severe from his friends talking and laughing. That evening jak cried all night with head pains in my bed.
“Jak was later admitted into a pre-assessment unit and then admitted onto the children’s ward.
“Jak has suffered so much pain for the last 2 weeks now!
“On 05/04/17 Jak was taken into theatre to drain the blood clot that had formed and pus that had gathered in his head. Jak is on a drip having antibiotics, painkillers and even morphine. His vein had collapsed in his hands from his cannula so is like a human pin cushion. Having cannulas fitted, bloods take and swabs.
“On 07/04/17 (today) Jak was taken back to theatre he’s had an electric vacuum drain inserted into his head… meaning two tubes put in his head to drain the infection and the blood from his head. Jak is lying in a bed on strong medication with tubes coming out of him whilst the bully has carried on with life as normal!!!â€

THE BULLY WASN’T PUNISHED
“My son has been in a hospital bed for 6 days, not once has the bully missed a break time or received any punishment!!!!†the Facebook post, which has since gone viral, said.
It has more than 93,000 shares and people from around the world reacting with horror and disbelief at what Jak has had to endure.
“We need to stand up to bullies, pull together and make a change! Teach our children to be kind, teach our children to speak up,†she said.
