My child is being punched at kindergarten by a girl who also continually does things to him. For example, putting soap on his chair, messing with his outdoor clothes, etc.
The teachers know and have talked to the girl’s parents, but the behavior continues. My child is scared to go and cries about it sometimes. I’m not entirely sure how to handle it, because that’s the teachers job and I’m not there to help or see it.
Eventually, I’m considering involving the police, but that seems pretty last resort.
Any suggestions?
Edit
The director and teachers are all aware of the issues
Unless you’re suggesting teaching kindergarten girls to hit boys will repair their self esteem or pride, im not sure why it’s necessary to make gender a variable here.

I didn’t make gender a variable, the parent comment that I replied to did.
Kindergarteners shouldn’t be taught to hit back.
You know what? that’s fair.
I entirely missed that comment, my bad.
I don’t think idealism against the idea of violence is the answer, given…you know…people, but i’m all for not making it the first port of call.
