Ever since my son started school when he was 4, he's been bullied. I've talked to school officials several times but they never help. 

My son is on the hefty side but a fun kid to be around. There is a few kids that are his main bullies. One is a girl that started out calling him names. Than it got worse when he came home with belt marks across his back. He said she had taken her belt off and hit him several times! 

I took pictures and questioned the teacher she admitted the girl did have to have her belt taken away but didn't think the marks were that big of a deal. Later on last year the same little girl shoved him in the lunch time and tried to choke him. He told the teacher again and all they did was put the child to the front of the line.

I was hoping he would have a better year this year. But its not starting out like that. My son has came home since day one telling us about how he is being made fun of. They have called him fat, retarded, slow, just really cruel names. He told his dad and I tonight that he doesn't feel like he deserves to be on this planet because of them! 

As a mom it broke my heart to hear that from a 7 year old. He only has 1 friend in his grade the rest laugh at him.  I've had several meetings with the principal and teachers but it doesn't help. We can't transfer him because its the only one in our district. When we wanted to take him out to homeschool him the school stepped in. They threatened to have us arrested for truancy since they would not take him off their records.

I'm lost at how to help. My words only go so far with him. I hate seeing my child hurt this much please reddit any advice would be grateful!!
