Hello,

I am very sorry to hear about the distressing incident involving your son. This is a serious matter, and it is completely understandable that you are seeking justice.

Based on the details you've provided, it is important to act promptly to ensure your son's well-being and protect your legal rights. Here are some immediate steps you should consider taking:

Prioritize Medical Care: If you have not done so already, please take your son to a doctor or an eye specialist immediately. His health is the absolute priority, and obtaining a medical report will also create an official record of his injuries.

Document Everything: Keep a detailed log of all events. Write down dates, times, the names of everyone involved (the diction teacher, the class teacher, school administrators), and summaries of conversations. Preserve any evidence, such as photos of your son's injuries and any written communication with the school.

File a Police Report: Assault, particularly against a child, is a criminal offense. You should report this incident to your local police department to initiate an official investigation.

While I am not based in your country and therefore cannot provide official legal representation, I can offer general guidance and support to help you navigate these initial steps. If you would like to discuss this process in more detail, I am available for a low-cost consultation via WhatsApp. Please feel free to connect with me there to arrange a time.

I wish your son a complete and speedy recovery.
