I Hate Bullies

How do you think the school should handle this?
A student intentionally injures and causes bruising to another student. It was done to show the victim what would happen to them again if they don't fulfill a specific request the bully has made that has to be done in a specific amount of time. The bully has also threatened they will hurt the victim again if they tell anyone about it.
Believe it or not these two students are in Kindergarten. The demand is for candy. Crazy huh?
My daughter is the victim. She was waiting in line after recess with this other boy next to her. He gave her an "indian burn" on her arm. He told her she better bring him candy by Monday or he will do it to her again. He also said if she tells anyone about it he will do it to her again.
I contacted her teacher who contacted the principal. I haven't heard anything back yet about it. Her dad asked me if there was any bruising. I didn't even think of that. When I looked at her arm I was shocked to see two light blue bruises on the inside of her elbow.
I really feel bad for this other student. Something is either very wrong with him or something is very wrong in his home.
At the same time I don't want him around my daughter anymore.
I don't know how the school will handle this. He's just a little kid but something has to be done.

My daughter was hit and punched by a boy in her class. I saw bruises on her and asked how she got them. She told a lame story about the wind blowing a door. I said I knew better. She was in the 5th grade. And the bruising was in several stages of going away.
I sat her down and told her to sit there till she could tell me the truth. She came right out with it.
The next morning I was in the Principles office. I asked him who was in charge at the school. I knew he was going to say he was at that question and it set him up for my next. So you are the guy I'm going to go after for not protecting my daughter while in your care? I explained what, where and how. To my surprise he was aware of the boys treatment off all the kids not just mine. I told him that was his concern not mine, mine was the bruising on my daughter. Bottom line, he was scared to fix it because the boys father was abusive. REALLY? i told my girl to fight back! The next day, I got a call from the school saying I needed to cone in my daughter was in a fight. I went and said I had told her to defend her self. She did and sent the boy home with marks. I said that if anything went down against my daughter for defending herself not only would there be litigation but i would take out a one page add in the local paper taking about how bullying was acceptable at that school.
The boy got nice after his thumping and wanted to be friends. They got rid of the Principle.
They need to take this boy on while he is little. He will get worse the older he gets.
Sorry it was so long.
