From your Daughters point of view, this could be bullying and should be taken more seriously by the people around her.
Go into school, explain, you and your Daughter are not happy with the situation. A closer eye needs to be kept on the two girls when there together.
Please don't teach her to retaliate.

The bone will not be sticking out of a finger with just a normal break. The only time a bone protrudes in a break is if it's a compound break. If your daughter can move her finger, even if it's extremely painful, it's probably not broken. Breaks usually bruise very quickly, too. Chances are she sprained it, or, perhaps, dislocated it. A trip to the emergency room or local medical clinic is certainly warranted in this case so that you will know exactly what is going on and how to proceed in taking care of it.

Try to talk to the teachers, the entire staff if you must, or even the other girls parents, although I know that isn't allowed some places. Normally I'd say teach your daughter to hit back or at least defend herself if not attack. There are ways of doing that. My godmother teaches mentaly disabled children, and let me tell you, they are some very strong and bull headed kids. Kids with downs are generally nice, but if something flips their switch they are strong and don't notice if they cause minor pain to themselves as long as they think they're making right whatever they thought was wrong. Goodluck!

Since both are Special Needs children, I would definitely not recommend teaching your daughter to fight back.
Tell her to try to stay away from the girl, ask the school if your daughter can be put into another class if need be. the teacher knows so he/she should know how to handle the situation since he/she's been trained to work with special needs children, or so I should hope anyway!

Hitting back , will only put your daughter down to this other girls level, If she's wearing her cloths it would take more then a quick slap to scratch her chest. Maybe they just need to kept away fron each other, like opposite ends of the room.

even tho the girl has downs she still needs to know the diifference between right and wrong its totaly unacceptable! you need to get this accross to the teachers it wouldn't be acceptable if it was the other way round and your daughter was being the bully,if it comes to it the teachers will have to speak to the girls parents or even seperate your daughter and the other girl in the classroom

Instead of teaching your daughter to fight back you should teach her ways to diffuse the situation. Teach her how to find out why this girl has a problem with her. True that you want your children to be able to defend themselves but what if she ends up hurting this other girl?

Tough one - you need the staff onside with you to deal with this. There have to be limits even for Downs children (who incidentally are usually very sweet natured). The staff can ensure they don't spend too much time in close proximity - go talk to them hun and explain how you feel.

If it happens again, tell her to hit back.
The teacher has done her bit and knows your daughter is being ''upset'' at school.
She must defend herself.
In-fact, if you can find one, I would suggest she is taught self defence.
By one, I mean someone able to teach her.
Sorry for you, but keep up the good work...

If the teachers know, they should deal with it. Discuss it openly with them. Do NOT encourage your daughter to take matters into her own hands.....that could well be the justification the bullies use.
