deuces wild Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 I agree. Those cops should be arrested and charged with abusing their authority as well as cruelty to a child. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellie2 Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 That is just awful....... but where was the childs mother?? And why on earth did the staff call the police in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djohn Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 I saw the news Item on Sky News this afternoon, it also showed a clip from the schools CCTV from other times when the child had been a bit disruptive in the classroom. The action taken by the teacher in the earlier clips and the one now making the news with the Police team are absolutely outrageous, I understand the school and the police authorities are both being prosecuted.Not often I agree with people taking action against the authorities, or seeking to make money out of something blown out of proportion, but this particular case deserves to be prosecuted, I hope the parents win a large sum of compensation too. :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 I fully agree with everything that has been said. HOWEVER, isn't the child's behaviour the fault of the parents in the first place? How on earth can people allow their children to behave like that? The whole world is going mad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurlyWhirly Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 Teachers are not aloud to do anything when a child is being disruptiveI think that's right, as I remember reading that in some cases if you slap a child who is misbehaving, it can be classed as assault :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the child is just ignored then hopefully the child will get fed up and give up on the attention seeking.It's a pity that the teacher didn't do that in this case, as then perhaps the police wouldn't have been called in to the school!

Belatucadrus Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 Little Angels BBC 3Perhaps " Parenting " or " domestic skills " should be part of the school curriculum, particularly with the UK's high rates of teenage pregnancy. But that's probably an archaic concept out of tune with our new shiny happy clappy PC world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyWhirly Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 Cheers for the link Belatucadrus, I don't watch much TV so that's probably why I didn't know about the programme along with the fact that the word 'little' was missed out!

catgate Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 Perhaps " Parenting " or " domestic skills " should be part of the school curriculumisn't the child's behaviour the fault of the parents in the first placeIt is largely the fault of those blind politicians who, since the second world war, have promulgated the notion that the state would take care of everything (at our expense of course), that many of the last couple of generations of parents have fallen into the trap of believing they have been relieved of their responsibility for everything other than the production of eggs and sperm.Fortunately there are still pockets of 'olde fashyoned' parent to be found, but the more that things which should be learned in the home are moved into the classroom, the more the society's behavioural problems will grow, (and the less time will there be for teaching the things which should be taught in the classroom). However we can take heart from Mr. Blair's former pledge of "Education, education, education". Providing he can remember it, along with all his other pledges.
