My concern is how is an 8 yr old capable of coming up with something like this. What action do you think I should take. I don't want my daughter to live in fear of her, besides they catch the same school bus and go the same school.

I know her mom very well. I talked her as well and yes there was a witness. My fear is that she will do this again to some other child, because her mom does have a daycare.

This happened on Sunday. Me and my husband had been pondering about what to do in this situation. We hate to see her lose her daycare since she just got started, but also I would hate to see someone else's child get harmed.

You need to find out where this little girl lives if you don't know already and talk to her parents. If they don't seem to respond the way a normal parent would, I would call the police and have them talk to the girl to scare her. If you are worried about school, call the bus garage and tell them or send a note with your daughter on the first day, also have her sit in the front of the bus where the driver can see her better. I would call the school and talk to the principal about it so they can be aware that there was a situation.

The first thing I would do would be to let the school and the bus driver know the details of the situation. Let the school handle the other girls parents. Parents get very defencive when approached by other parents, so it's probably best to let the school do what they can. Also, make sure you give your daughter all the right tools to handle herself with this girl. You know things like; don't talk to her, stay around her friends let an adult know if there is a problem. You just need to make sure you do everything you can to make sure she is safe. If possible take her to school for a few days until you know how things are being handled.
After reading your additional comments I would have to say that this little girl that has a history of bullying kids is in search for some love and affection and going about it the wrong way. With her Mom running a daycare she is probably feeling left out maybe mention this to her Mom. It might be the first step to help a little girl that's reaching out for it instead of letting her go about it the way she has been; with violence.

You need to at minimum, contact the school and really should contact the police and file a report and strongly consider contacting social services to investigate the mother if she is running a daycare facility because if her child is out of control for whatever reason, the children in her care are at risk.
As for as the safety of your daughter, I would either get her into another school in the district or even a private school (if you cannot afford it, many have scholarships available and payment arrangements available) and driving her to and from school. Is a big hassle, I know, as I did it for several years myself, but my son did not have to worry or live in fear of being harmed by the perp ever again, which has been worth it in the long run.

which is more important, the womans' new business or the future of several children (the ones she hurts and the ones who observe the violence)?
any idea where emotional disorders come from?
in virginia a few years ago a 12 year old girl hit and punched and stabbed a child at the bus stop. she died right there in front of all the children. everyone knew she was a violent child but did nothing about it.
the 12 year old got off. her lawyer said it was an accident.
HOW?!

tell the school about it, and if they don't do anything about it. then just invite the little girl one day home, and scare the hell out of her, tell her that if she ever do that again, you will make sure that it stops. I means scare her. But between us, I don't really blame the girl, I blame her parents especially her mother also to know that she was present when her daughter was doing it and she did nothing? well I am sorry for her daughter but who knows may be the girl is treated the exact same way at home. But someone needs to step in and make it stops

you need to do a little more than speaking with her mother! Go to the police, she needs help before she actually kills someone, there is no way she could have "gotten away" you said you knew her mother so what is the problem? Your daughter is going to live in fear until that child is gone!

Have you thought to stay away from these people? Action? They are going to tell, you why did you not report it when it happen? Go to the authorities before some child is hurt really bad or worse DEAD!

Whoa. Were there any witnesses to this?
Well, first notify the girl's parents. Then keep an eagle eye on things. Maybe it was a fluke-some playing that got out of hand. Or maybe the 8 year old is violent. Either way, you are watching like a hawk. Tell your daughter to stay clear of her and to sit near the very front of the bus.
Good luck-DN

mom is a bus driver so i called her to ask.
call the police and press charges on the 8 year old. sorry , but it's the only thing you CAN do. how will you feel when you find out in 4 years that she killed a kid and got off scott free because it was an 'accident' (because no one had told anyone about her)
that's what happened to her
