Re: Worst Night Of My Life!
What a terrible thing to go through, I can't begin to imagine how it must be for you and your family. Reading about your daughter's bullying was bad enough, but as I read through the passage I had no idea the stoy was going was going to get so much worse. Sending you all best wishes and hope you really can start afresh with a new life when you get here, soon hopefully.
Unfortunately it's not just the UK that's becoming a dangerous place to live. It's society in general, the world over, and that includes Australia. The recent reports on tv showing Aussie thugs (boys and girls, young teenagers usually) stamping on people's heads, it's just so scary. There was a programme on this only two nights ago, because it is happening so often - yes right here in WA. They blanked out the faces of the thugs - why? In case someone seeks revenge? Should have let their faces been shown, I reckon. In one incident, some tourists were picked on for no reason whatsoever, and it was all captured on CCTV at the train station. I sat and watched the footage with my kids, and we all stared at the screen in disbelief. They looked like they weren't going to stop until the poor person's head caved in. That they survived the attack is a miracle. I kind of wished I hadn't watched the article, because it made me feel sick, and I can't help thinking there might be thugs out there watching it and thinking "hey, that looks fun, must remember to try that next time I'm out looking for trouble". My kids were disgusted too, and I did wonder if it was a good idea exposing them to such violence on the tv, films are one thing, they know it's pretend, but this actually happened and apart from blanking out the thug's face, the scene was shown as it happened (with a warning beforehand). Whatever happened to morals, decency, respect? I'm a stay-at-home mum still (and my kids are now 10,12 and 14) and I always know where they are and what they are doing and if they go anywhere, they always have an adult present ie myself or their friend's mum. There has never been the opportunity for them to be getting up to no good or hanging around with the wrong folk, and I hope it stays that way. Unfortunately my eldest does get comments from the other girls in class because a) she doesn't own a mobile phone b) doesn't watch Big Brother/The O.C./Home & Away/whatever and c) wears her uniform properly and generally never gets into trouble with the teachers. We had one bullying incident on the school bus (big lad and his mates kicked her bag around, broke something on it and called her names) but after a letter to her teacher, it was dealt with immediately and the boys were reminded that that sort of behaviour would not be tolerated and their parents were contacted. The teachers handled it well and there have been no further incidents, thankfully. I was relieved that it wasn't allowed to escalate, but felt bad enough at the time, so to go through what you've been through, my heart goes out to you. |
Re: Worst Night Of My Life!
Sorry to hear about that. Bloody Bastards.
The truth is kids take after there parents, how can kids grow up thinking it is OK when the father is also fighting. The U.K. has got into a social class problem and although I would'nt like to think Australia has this problem the truth is that it does, but you have better odds of not finding people like that in Australia than in the U.K. You may have started the ball rolling with these bastards now, I would try and contact some local newspapers and see if they take up the story but the legal system is pretty crap in the U.K. as most people are released on bail the next day to cause more problems again. |
Re: Worst Night Of My Life!
Looks guys, I've just reread this thread again, please try and contact some newspapers so that these bastards are named and shamed.
I'm sure some newspaper would take up the story due to bullying and then the father of the bully beating your husband up. |
Re: Worst Night Of My Life!
Shazza
So sorry to hear about what has happened to you and your family. How is your hubby doing now? Hope he's on the mend. Your daughter must make you so proud, standing up to the bullies by not giving in to them. You all need to be positive, soon you will be 12500 miles away from these scumbags and enjoying your new life. In the end you will be the ones toasting victory, leaving these type of people behind and settling into somewhere where there do still appear to be some moral values left. I know two incidents similar to what happened to you all. A good friend was given a kicking by a group of kids under 15 when he caught them vandalising his car and another friend reported a gang of kids trying to rip his Sky dish off the side of his house. They were caught and the ringleader got given an ASBO, the father of said little angel turned up and beat up my mate on his doorstep for getting his son into trouble with the police. Just about sums up 'Great' Britain. Anyway keep us all up to date on how your hubby is doing and whether the courts give these Neanderthals the custodial sentence they deserve. Take care all of you and start counting the days till you are on the plane. Sending you karma :) |
Re: Worst Night Of My Life!
Well, life cant get much worse, ok I know that this isn't true because my best friends daughter has CF so I know how bad life can really get.
I still cant help feeling very depressed by recent events. The outcome of everything is that my husband was arrested :mad: The group of men that were arrested for G.B.H. lied to the police that my husband attacked the ring leader that had been bullying our daughter. The police have agreed that there were no marks on the boy to prove this and my husband has not been charged with anything but he still has to go to the police station on the 20th July to find out if he will be charged. Last Monday I had a telephone call asking if the 20th July for completion on our house would be ok, I said yes, maybe a case of wishful thinking but feel confident that the police realise that these people are lying, they never rang the police and only made their allegations once they were arrested and charged. Although still cant help worrying slightly as I am sure the people at their party will be willing to lie for them. Left my job last week in anticipation of all the packing and organising I had to do in the next 3 weeks and yep, you guessed it our house Sale fell through last Thursday. Our buyers lost their buyers because the search found a mobile phone mast in the area. So here we are, I don't have a job, my husband is still off sick recovering from his injuries and we will have about £10 a month left once the mortgage is paid. I don't think I have ever been so fed up as I am right now. Always believed in the saying what goes around comes around but recent events have totally dispelled my belief in this. The bullies are still at school whilst my daughter is at home because it all became too much for her. I just don't feel like we are ever going to get to Australia. The estate Agent asked us to give our buyers 2 weeks grace and I agreed as they have done nothing wrong. They were actually wonderful buyers and had everything ready to go in super quick time but we are so desperate and cant help feeling that we need to be marketing the property again before the summer slump. Right, sorry about the moan. Just needed to get it of my chest. Trying not to at home as I want to keep their spirits up. |

I am sure things will work out as far as the charges against your husband, if they have no proof I can't see what they can do. Anyway, keep strong and remember your dream :o xx |

On a practical note could you not ring work up and ask them to take you back for a little while, or ring the bank and ask for a months grace. They may say no but if you dont ask they cant know you need help. Cyberslap me if Im being patronising but I genuinely hope it will help, Melx |

These are personal reasons so please don't feel the need to tell me that this goes on in Australia too, I know this could happen anywhere but it happened to us in England. It is now 5am and don't think I will be able to sleep until my body gives up later on today. My daughter has been bullied relentlessly by a group of 14yr old boys at school for just over a year now, mostly name calling but she has also had stones thrown at her and dirty drain water poured over her head and food rubbed into her eyes. The school have tried to intervene and stop them but seem to have their hands tied. She ventured to the local village Fete today. She phoned me after one hour crying and asking me to come and pick her up, yep the group were there and were up to their usual nasty tricks, name calling, telling other boys that she doesn't even know to go and hit her, and the ring leader rode his bike into her and kicked her. Sadly but understandably her friends do not intervene, because whilst its her they pick on... you know the rest. My husband came home from his late shift at 8pm and when he heard what had happened decided enough is enough and drove to the ring leaders house to speak to his father, thinking that they would be like us if our son was bullying a girl (horrified :mad: ) WRONG...... They had a house full of rowdy drunk people and rather than discuss it with my husband, the father and around another 10 men + teenage boys jumped on my husband and got him on the ground and proceeded to kick him and kick him and kick him, mostly in the head and whilst they were doing this the teenage boys and other men kicked our car and smashed our car lights. I have spent 6 hours at the hospital with my husband who is now home and in bed. I cannot look at him without wanting to cry. His face is swollen like a football and black and blue, one eye has completely closed up and he can hardly walk. The doctor could not believe that the xray showed no fractures as he actually has 2 clear stamp marks on his head along with the bruises. I am sure if my husband had been a smaller man I would not have him home with me now and that he would be lying on a slab in a mortuary. We also came home to messages that they are coming round to finish him off tonight or tomorrow. Finish him off?? He hasn't even bloody done anything wrong, he just wanted to ask the parents to stop their son bullying our daughter. I just cannot see how total strangers can kick someone that they don't even know in the head repeatedly, how can people feel that hate and aggression for absolutely no reason. I cannot tell my husband that I don't feel safe going to bed, this would upset him more but these are the kind of people that wont drop it because I called the police. The ring leaders father is now in a police cell charged with G.B.H and C.I.D have said that they will arrest all the others too but I am not so sure as we don't know any of their names or addresses and obviously before the police arrived at the scene they had all disappeared. I am so sorry to ramble on and hope I haven't bored anyone that reads it but I am just so upset I had to write it all down. Please Please, let our house sale go through quickly and smoothly! What kind of place do we live in? Thinking of you all and wish for a speedy recovery both physically and mentally for your hubby. Yous sound like a strong, loving family and you'll get through it. You did the right thing involving the police! Too many mindless thugs get away with it, mostly because of people being scared to report it. Good on you! Will send Karma, when I work out how to, never sent it before. Look to a brighter, safer future in Oz. Margie |

Big hugs, Annexxxxx |
Re: Worst Night Of My Life!
Hi Shazza
so so sorry that it has come to this. Words can't do justice to how mad I feel that these scum can get away with groundless accusations, while law abiding citizens get absolutely no help at dealing with them at all. Really hope that this reaches a fair and just conclusion soon. Reiki thoughts and karma (if I can) sent to you and yours. Shirley xx |
Re: Worst Night Of My Life!
Shazza and family
So sorry you have had even more bad news, I can't believe that these things happen but I am sure that you will all get through it. I hope that the gits that did this to your hubby get whats coming to them I really really hope that you find a new buyer to allow you to free this country and folow your dream Thinkin of you all with best wishes Ang |
Re: Worst Night Of My Life!
I was thinking about you just the other day and how you were getting along. Just when you thought it couldn't get any tougher, the knee jerk of shite comes along once more just to make sure you're down. :mad: :mad: Can't do or say anything to help your situation but will send virtual hugs and add karma. Keep strong, you will find your dream one day I'm sure!! Then these bxstards will be a long flight away from you. Special thoughts to your poor daughter too, I hope she finds the strength from you to cope with it all. Wishing you all the best, regards to you all

Re: Worst Night Of My Life!
I so feel for you!! :mad: My husband wants to give you all a big hug.
We had a bad experience with our old neighbours (the father told his daughter to kick my daughter's head in and told her not stop til' she'd killed her - the police didn't want to know even though the father admitted it) It effects you deep inside. How far are you with the immigration process, I bet you wish you could just pack up and leave tomorrow!! It's unbelievable that people can react to other human beings in such a deplorable way... my thoughts go out to all your family. In my opinion the UK is becoming a complete shambles, I hope OZ changes your life around. Good Luck!!!! and karma sent Jude |
Re: Worst Night Of My Life!
OMG I cried when I read this... word can't express just how appalling I think this is.
My youngest daughter was bullied for a while and that in itself is painful to deal with and watch but I'd would never of dreamed it could of resulted in you almost losing your husband. Take you children out of school and NEVER let then go back no matter what happens with the sale. I don't believe in running away and think it is extemely important to work through your problems but not when either life or limb are a risk. I hope the Father gets whats coming to him and the boy get expelled, scum!! Like someone else said sign of what this country is coming to and an obvious lack of respect and moral. I hope that sale happens asap for you. Sue |
Re: Worst Night Of My Life!
Thanks for your replies. It makes me feel better as you start to think the world is against you at a time like this. Just had a PM reminding me that I will be sat on a beach in a few months sticking my fingers up to the lot of them. I am really trying to hold on to that thought as it makes me smile.
In answer to a couple of the replies: We have our visas and validated in Jan so just waiting for the house to sell and we will be off. Also, don't worry there is no way my daughter is going back to school, had my son at home today too because he was meant to go to the same secondary school for his induction day but I wouldn't care if we were here for another 6 months I wouldn't let him spend one hour there. House price: We already dropped 20k and we are so desperate we would drop another 10k to sell, got in touch with one of those companies today that buy your house within 7 days but the price they offered wouldn't even cover our mortgage, shame because for a promise of completion in days think we would have been happy to go to Oz with just a couple of thousand in our pocket. Thanks Again! Sharon x |

Thanks Again! Sharon x I feel quite helpless in that I am only able to offer words but I am sure that I speak for everyone on here - we are 'all' holding on to that thought of you on a beach because we so badly want this ordeal to be over for you. Best of luck to you all Theresa |
Re: Worst Night Of My Life!
Oh Shazza - really do feel for you and your family. So stupid that the one prat has triggered three of your family being at home when they should be at work/school.
I now things must look bleak but you do have your visa so you are just one step away from a fantastic new life. You have still got your buyer - let's hope they get a new buyer very soon, someone who wants to move in two weeks !! |
Re: Worst Night Of My Life!
I cannot believe that such a situation could get even worse. Thoughts and prayers are with you and yours. Hope you get to Oz as soon as possible and house all goes through so that you really can start your new life in a a better place.

The amount of the mortgage will go up a bit over the 6 months, but as you are expecting to sell and pay it all off, that should not really be a factor. Worth it for the reduced stress.
Cheers, DagBoy oohhh, now there is food for thought. We had never thought of that. Just mentioned it to my husband and he said he will phone them first thing in the morning. Dont think we took a mortgage that offered this but there is no harm in asking. fingers crossed... Thanks. |

Re: Worst Night Of My Life!
Are these witnesses that are making up allegations against your husband the same ones that are being charged for GBH or are they different ones. If they are different ones, then surely the police will have details of some of the other participants who assaulted your husband and be able to question them.
Also, has this been in the national news over there? If not, you should shout it from the roof tops and name and shame the tossers who did it as well as the school for not taking action over bullies. I'm sure bullying is a huge political hot potato, which local councils wont want to be seen ignoring. Even if all that happens is that the attackers faces are names are printed then people around them (employers etc) will look at them in a different light. I know we are known over here as whinging Poms, but hey, there is a time and a place to complain. I recently got a bit of a beating when I went around to get my TV and VCR back from someone I found out who had nicked it. The police did nothing except caution them as they were under 18. I knew the name of one of their employers, so I told him and as he had just started they released him from his job. Good luck with it all and hope things start getting a helluva lot better for ou all very soon. |
Re: Worst Night Of My Life!
Hi Shazza,
I have just read your story. I just wanted to add my horror and anger to what you have gone through. I just hope that everything goes through quickly and you will be enjoying a drink on the beach before you know it. Hopefully these bastards will get their comeuppance :mad: Hang on in there!!! My love and thoughts to you all ;) |
Re: Worst Night Of My Life!
Hello Shazza,
You dont know me - I dont come around BE much any more but a little bird told me about your story and I just wanted to add my sincerest condolences for all the heartache and suffering you have had to endure over the past month. I can only hope that you have a quick house sale, that your husband isnt wrongly and insanely accused of attacking those horrible men when it was their lack of humanity that caused this entire situation in the first place, and that both of your children recover from the trauma they have both experienced. I dont blame you for not sending them back to school - believe me, I wouldnt either. I wish the best for you personally as well. Generally its the mother / the wife that carries the family logistically and emotionally through situations like this so I have no doubt youre at your wits end, just trying to get through each day. But it WILL get better. It will because it has to. A payment holiday on your mortgage sounds like a brilliant idea. Lets hope that comes through ok for you. Another option you might consider is putting your house up for rent so that you can just go. As long as the rent covers your mortgage and you have some in savings to get you started in Australia you'll be fine. My husband and I left the UK in Oct and although renting in our situation (with very hefty debt) wasnt exactly the best idea, it did the trick. Maybe it could work well for you. We had a renter in less than a week. Renting your home out with a 6 month payment holiday on the mortgage might give you enough in the bank to make your jump to Oz. I hope it all works out for you. Best of luck and dont give up hope in humanity and justice. It IS out there and it will find you. *LOTS OF HUGS* Kindest Regards, Sarah |

Re: Worst Night Of My Life!
Hiya Shazza,
It still makes me feel sick reading what has happened to your family. I would definitely get in touch with the Director of Education for your LEA to find out hwy the bullying wasn't stopped before anyone was hurt. I would also go to the press, not the local paper but the nationals. It seems like the only way forward these days. In school we are supposed to be so anti bullying but it still happens all around us. I don't and won't accept bullying and have often managed to sort things out without the support of the school as the head is quite clearly marking time until his retirement. I have recently, well since the head blabbed that I was leaving, also been bullied at school and I'm 35. The head is a pile of pooh and has done absolutely nothing about it. He has agreed to the conditions put in place by my union and still nothing is being done. I've as good as been told that if I pursue things any further my card will be marked and that it won't do me any favours in Australia. I feel my hands are completely tied and can't push any further just in case. However, when I finally get to hand in my notice everything that has happened to me will be in the letter. I hope that you don't feel like this and are strong enough to take it all the way. My love and best wishes are with you and your family. Hugs Sarah |
Re: Worst Night Of My Life!
Hi Sharon,
Don't quite know what to say after all your suffering but thinking of you, it seems to me the bigger the bully the more they get away with, those of us that live by the rules end up[ being the losers!! Not sure what your current situation is but wish you lots of luck and happiness. Hope all turns out well with house. Love Chris |
Re: Worst Night Of My Life!
OMG I can't believe people would do this. I mean our kids have been bullied before but not to this extent.
I also can't believe we missed this thread when you originally posted. How are things going now. Hope your house has been sold or rented etc - anything apart from you still being there. Good Luck for your future in Oz and i hope it comes sooner rather than later for you. Best Wishes Tony & Sonja |
Re: Worst Night Of My Life!
One of everyones nightmares, hope that your husband is healing well, I sit here staring at the computer with so much to say, that I don't know how to start, you are all very brave, people like you should make Britain proud, well I know that all of us that go to oz will be proud to have emigrated alongside a family as courageous as yours. Our thoughts are with you and your new life.
Good luck, hugs and kisses Nicky |
