Playground issues
My son (2nd grade) was telling me this morning that he's having some issues on the playground. He says the other day one kid (who is also on his bus) punched him in the stomach for no reason. He also said there's a few girls that follow him around and grab his hood on his jacket so he can't move. If he tells them to stop, they don't. He says he generally just runs around on his own and doesn't play with any other kids. From seeing him at public playgrounds I trust his account as he rarely interacts with other kids.
I'm not sure what to do, both in the sense of what to tell my DS to do for himself and whether or not I should contact the school/parents.
Any advice?

Re: Playground issues
I would tell him to approach a lunch aide or whatever teacher is outside supervising if he tells the kids to stop and they don't.

This.
But, I would also write a note to the teacher to let them know what's going on.

Same...I would tell him to tell an aide and I would call the school to give them his account so they can be on the watch.

Same. I tell my kids to tell them to stop and that they don't like it. If the other kid doesn't listen, I tell them to tell a grown up. If it continues, I would speak to the teacher yourself.

I'd contact the school. Don't leave it up to your son to report it to a teacher. They need to know to be watching out for him.

This. He's only in 2nd grade. I know kids can be mean, but really should start with the no bullying lessons at elementary.
Write an email to his teacher and the lunchaide. If it still goes on then you should let the principal or VP know. At my kid's school there is no tollerance for bullying, but they handle it well when there are incidents.
ETA- there are times I have told my kids to ignore and even if you're not friends with everyone you have to be nice. They have some mean kids in their lives, but handle it well. The fact that they are punching and putting their hands on your son is a problem.
Hope it gets better! You want him to feel safe at school and not afraid.

Last year my son got “beat up” on the playground. (Punched and pinned by a boy). He came home and said nothing
I never would have known but 2 friends of mine called me because their kid came home and said that my son was getting hit by this boy
