I'm sure his teacher reported what she knew and observed further up the chain..The fact is unless those in overall charge actually think it's worth reporting to the relevant authorities it is hard to know what actions are being taken.
It takes courage to call out your superiors if you think they are mistaken.We all think we would do the right thing but until you are in that position if your head doesn't appear to do anything you would have to be pretty determined to go over someone's head and risk being a whistleblower.Maybe if such people were treated better we would get more action taking place.

Thankfully I only ever had to report about one child in my entire career and even then I wasn't sure exactly what had happened as the child concerned left the school pretty soon afterwards.
