My workplace are biased against one child, i don't think it's ok

Hello,

So there's this one child, let's say 'A', at my work. 'A' tends to lie when they're in trouble and many educators and even the director may make comments about 'A' which make me a bit uncomfortable as a new worker such as how he is a liar or troublemaker, 'don't believe him unless another child has the same story'.

Let me explain. Sometimes 'A' might do something that would annoy a child. I would try to get 'A' to apologise and move away but that doesn't help because of another issue. A specific group of kids who are in the same class as 'A' might come and call them names, snatch his hat and make him chase after it, or even push 'A'.

This really bothered me whenever I approached a senior educator or even the director, they would simply shake their head and say 'A' was annoying again and leave the matter, despite how, to me, it felt like bullying from these other kids.

The last straw though was a couple of weeks ago when 'A' was playing a running game with this group of children and others. Initially, he was rejected and they didn't let 'A' play. Later, 'A' decided to join anyway and it seemed to be fine as everyone was emersed in the game. I went to assist a child to go inside quickly to get an ice pack from someone inside. When I returned, 'A' was hysterical and crying on the ground, as a parent approached me and informed me that two kids from a specific group had tackled her and stood on her head.

I asked 'A' what happened and he said he was on the ground when the two children yelled 'attack' and stood on 'A's' head.

I completed an injury report and reported this to my director who attempted to speak with the children regarding this issue. The director had told the parent that the kids 'accidentally' pushed her and fell when I had clearly told them what the parent saw.

This issue just feels so wrong but when I talk to anyone about it, they won't agree with me. I just don't know what to do other than attempt to redirect the child to do another activity away from these children. The specific kids always try to stir him up and are never questioned for their actions.

I love my work, but I would hate for this to be a core memory for the child growing up. I know from experience and remember very well when others including teachers would bias and spread this bias about other students. I would appreciate your advice so much!
