Your story is eerily similar to mine. My daughter didn't hit the boy, but instead complained to her teacher. When the teacher refused to intervene, she called me.
I called the school to report the incident and was put off by the staff at the front desk.
When I arrived they had my daughter in custody, watched over by a security officer (rent-a-nazi). I demanded to speak to the principal. She declined, so I barged into her office. I explained (in one of those Clint Eastwood quiet voices) that she had one opportunity to do the right thing. I told her that I insisted that the boy be suspended from school for the assault (and recommended expulsion). I demanded that she get the little perverts parents into the office toot sweet so that I could face them directly. I didn't give them a choice on whether or not to involve the cops - I called them myself. And I told the little punk that if I ever heard of him touching my daughter again, he would lose the use of that appendage permanently.
The principal was beside herself (scared sh!tless) because I laid all of this out in a calm monotone voice that dripped with earnestness.
And I followed it with "And if you can't take care of this, I will".

There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG with parents standing up to lazy, incompetent, ignorant and fearful school staff. You called the cops, and you knew exactly what the right thing to do was.

The so called staff is so afraid of the bullies AND their parents, that they forget that there are tough parents like you out there that aint going to take their bs.

Oh and utilizing the media for your purpose is worth it from time to time. Do you know the name of the reporter who covers your school district perhaps? It helps to be on a name to name basis with them too.

Why…why…we can’t have any bad publicity!
I didn’t exactly use a calm, measured voice. Actually I slammed my helmet on the counter a few times and threw my leather jacket against a wall. I think my boots might have left some gouges in the floor.
Animal acts do serve a good purpose now and then. Ah, the good ol’ days.

Rockrr, you're a man of action!

In reading the story about this unfortunate girl one can't help but wonder where in the hell is the father?

You did exactly right. Good for you!
