the past 2 years now my girl has been picked on at school. we have tried telling her to stay away from the other kid/kids, we have told her to tell her teacher, it seems to do no good. I am so sick of seeing her get off the bus crying and when we ask the driver or teachers at school they say they did not see any thing. she even came home one day with gum in her hair that had to be cut out. she acts out at home. I was wondering if this may have some thing to do with what go's on at school. she hits her little sister and other kids I watch and she is so mean to them all the time. she yells at me and her dad. she says things like we don't love her anymore, she is going to run away from and so on. we have tried alot of things with her but nothing works for long. not sure what else we can do or should be doing to help her.

Try letting the school help you. Good luck to you. No child should dread going to school.

Her behavior seems like it's out of frustration. A school day can be pretty long when a child doesn't feel safe.
A lot of teachers/caregivers "don't see" what's going on because they have too many kids to deal with at one time. It's easy to miss things when you're distracted.
Sometimes, you have to force their hand and make them pay closer attention. If they know you are serious, more than likely, they will get serious themselves. They are too afraid of getting sued to let things like this slide.
