School ban on parents following bully complaints

7:10am Thursday 25th September 2008 in


A MUM and dad have been banned from entering their son’s school without a police escort.

Police were called to Castle View School, Canvey, following reports of a man and woman behaving aggressively and being verbally abusive to staff.

But parents Marion and John Stephenson, both 40, deny causing trouble and said they were simply acting to protect their 12-year-old son Daryl.

Headteacher Mr Sullivan said: "An incident was reported and this has been investigated. The detail is not clear cut."

Yeah, I'm sure they aren't as innocent as they're protesting but don't judge people because they've got tattoos, that just makes you look an arsehole.

Here is an example of the Canvey Spirit!! (of some minority parents)

What chance do the Police and Schools have?

Look for anyone,anything to blame 'it couldn't be me' scenario

I can imagine what would happen in a 'Road Rage' incident with them!!!

is everyone forgetting, its a 12 year old boy here i have to say all the comments about his parents are sick they are only doing what everyone would do if someone they loved was bullied over and over again this has been going on and on and the teachers seem to think the answer is by moving the innocent and the as for the head master he not doing his job hes more worried about the traffic out side the school than the kids he teaches.i say to all parents call the police becouse the schools do jack to help
