Well done to Michelle Edwards for campaigning against the "No Blames" policy of not punishing school bullies for the hurt they have caused (Letters, October 15).

This policy is causing a massive problem for many children.

When the children who bullied my son were asked to be nice, it made everything twice as bad.

My son was told chess was okay (he played for the school team in county matches) but he should play more football so he would fit in and be accepted.

So, should he have done worse in school to be accepted?

This blaming the victim is dangerous and two years on my son feels he is the one with something wrong with him as that is how the services concerned have made him feel.

After receiving information from Education Otherwise, I realised a large percentage of parents taking their children out of school are doing so because of bullying and anxiety problems.

The "No Blames" policy does not help these children and many are damaged long term.
