further discrimination towards non spanards

There is always discrimation in spain towards non spanards; eg in the identification numbers, in the social benefits system eg when it is impossible to get familia numerosa status, in the legal system when non spaniards who are unable to understand spanish are convicted in the law courts without being able to defend themselves due to the language difficulty.
The most insulting acts are against the children in the education system eg my little girl of 8 if late to school is made to wait outside the class however any spanish child is allowed in if late, if the spanish children attack a non spanard the monitors ignore this and if challenged by the parent told that it only looked like a game but if the roles are reversed the non spanish child is punished, eg two 12 year old spanish boys tried to kill my little girl by pushing her off a cliff my son and daughter both went to the teacher but were constantly ignored when my son finally hit one of the boys and broke his glasses to save the life of his sister he was punished severely and this was reported to the social services that my son was violent but nothing of the attempted murder was reported and the two spanish children were not punished.
This kind of insulting behaviour is allowed to continue if we the non spanards do not stand together and force a change. the spanish view themselves as superior and therefore it is acceptable to treat us in the same manner as they treat their animals.

Sorry to hear what has happened to your children. I'm a parent and am thinking of moving to Spain from the UK but stories like yours put doubt in my mind.
