Yep, the school may help out. They should help out. Sounds like the miscreant has a long history-there will be his social worker as a resource, If nothing else he or she has child welfare/detention's ear. I'm sure hes had some court experience. He may have already been in juvi- Grandma is legally responsible, and if she cant handle him the law must. Send her legal notice.The idea to keep in constant contact with the cops, documenting the little shit, is good. A restraining order would be great. Squeeky wheel and all.
Of course the kid wont care about that from you, or any warnings. That kid is fucked up. The only thing that may get to him is Grandma or the Cops.
Letting your neighbors know, asking for their eyes, is good advice too.
I would give your kids mace if you feel they may get jumped. And make sure they know to go with their fear instincts, not feel silly, and report anything to the cops/ school authorities immediately, especially if youre not around.
But other than in direct defense, dont escalate the violence. (Handcuffs are good!) Dont let your reaction charge the demon up. There is no more to say to the kid. All goes to adults now. Calm and in control. Bring the hammer.
You'll get him stopped.
And yes, working in schools, I have had an 8 year old spit and throw chairs at me as I intervened while he was beat the living crap out of another 2nd grader. This child knew if he had the other kids hair, his punches would land harder. Fucking experienced shit for 2nd grade, man. I didnt last long at that school. Nobody did.
