Well, I would kick up one hell of a storm...... anything could have happened to your son, his emotions would have been all over the place!! As for the school not contacting you, did they actually realise he left the grounds? If not what kind of school are they running! Ask the school what their bullying policy is and what they intend on doing about it. my daughter was bullied for over a year, like you have probably done gone to the headteacher,spoke to the parents of the hooligans involved. I got no where it wasn't until I was verbally abused by the hooligans that the school really got involved.....I found that phoning the local police station and getting them involved really helped no one wants an ASBO!! Try this you may get somewhere!!

Not only would I be there with a battle axe, I'd be ther with my lawyer!
Schools are responsible for informing a parent when the child is not in attendance. That is why we as parents are to inform the school if they are ill.
They are also responsible for making sure the students are safe.
Call a meeting with the principal and teachers, along with the bully and his parents. You may even want to find out who else this child has been a bully to and invite those parents as well.

That is way out of order, any thing could have happened to your child when outside of school. My son had suffered bullying last year. He was pushed down some stairs, a teacher had walked past and ignored the situation! If you are taking your battle axe, I'll take the house hold air-rifle with me on the first day back!!!

They are obligated to tell you what is going on. On less you are not the primary care giver. If you are divorced and your child lives primarily with the other parent the school may have contacted that parent about it. If that is not the case you need to sit down with the Principal and discuss what is going on. Teach your child that when he gets bullied he needs to tell the teacher, if his teacher does nothing he needs to go to the nurses office, if she does nothing he needs to call you. Bullying is absolutely unacceptable. The child/children who are bullying your child also need to see some sort of consequence for their behavior. If nothing will be done bring it up at PTA and school board meetings that there is a problem with bullying. If still nothing gets done you can contact your local news station or just switch schools.
Good luck!!

They should be informing you whenever incidents like this happen. You don't say how old your child is, but the school administration has the responsibility to inform you if a serious incident like this happens. If you don't get any satisfaction from talking to the principal, you need to get in touch with the school board. It's important that they be aware of any serious bullying situation and how its being handled by their employees.

report the school to the education department, obvously they don't value the students to look after them other wise they would be doing something about the bullying problem, damn straight it's out of order you trust the school to teach your child/children and take care of them until home time, and they re-pay you by harming your child (meaning not sorting out the bullying problem) kids can be soo cruel and it's awful to see how many intelligent kids go off the rails due to bully's it's really sad, you pay just as much money as everyone else so you should be entitiled to know your childs were-abouts at the school.

First of all, you need to let the school know that you are not going to stand for their irresponsible behavior. They had a responsibility to tell you what was going on. They also have a responsibility to discipline the bully and notify his/her parents. I would write them a letter to this effect and demand that they handle the situation. Keep in mind though, the letter needs to go to the teacher as well as the principal. The principal is probably not aware of what is going on and needs to deal with the teacher's lack of responsibility.
I also think you need to talk to your child and let him know it is unacceptable for him to run out of school. It is just way to dangerous. In the future he needs to go to the teacher in charge. If that doesn't work, he needs to go to the office and talk to the principal.
I'm amazed that things like this still happen in a world where bullying is such a major topic of assemblies and training.

So out of order, that I'm sat here angry myself, what if he had been hit by a car? how would you have known? this just shows that the school is irresponsible in it's actions of not informing you.
If I was you yes go in and give them hell, but have you also thought of contacting your local press, radio and news stations. Other parents should be made aware of how lax this schools attitude is to bullying, and how they never informed you that your son had gone missing when he was in a clearly distressed state.
