11-year old, James Tindall, underwent a series of harrowing experiences every day at the hands of bullies. He was constantly beaten up and threatened to the point that he became unable to sleep or eat. What made things worse was that he had just been convalescing from a serious hand operation where two of his fingers - lost in a bouncy castle accident - had been reconstructed using his toes.
His bully, also 11 apparently could not be excluded from the school because his offences had not apparently been ’serious’ enough. All the headmaster told James’ mother was ‘the school has been unable to provide the necessary level of reassurance to allow James to return to this school‘. He did go on say, however, he would write to the bully’s parents to express his concern.
The Tindalls are extremely disappointed, saying, ‘The teachers have seen this boy do it, but they re too frightened to do anything about it.’
NUT spokesmen, Martin Reed, responded to the case by saying that the act of excluding a child from school has become a ‘legal minefield’, adding, ‘There shouldn’t be a situation where the victims of bullying lose out to the perpetrator.’
