Taking a nine-year-old and introducing them to the police can change the direction of their lives. Disgraceful! We teach children and guide them.

Incompetant, inexperienced, cowardly, and stupid. Not one single Minister is currently fit for purpose. A child makes an observation about another child. Surely the class teacher can handle this and just say don't be silly dear and move on. But no it has to escalate into the Head teacher calling the Police, getting them involved. Waste of Police time and resources, a bully's charter to complain about any minor comment to get another child in trouble, Soon it will be very risky indeed for any child to utter anything in the classroom. This is child abuse and the teachers in this school should be ashamed of themselves.
