- Girl child aged three and a half, cornered in toilets by little
boys of similar age who then exposed themselves, i.e. took their
pants down. Children singing "willie will fit". Mother
found out because child began wetting herself.
- Boy 8 held down in changing room and dirty pants stuffed in
mouth.
- D's problems started when being made to stand in the corner
in primary school which triggered a panic attack and, consequently,
asthma. Bullying by a teacher continued over a long period resulting
in bed wetting and waking at nights screaming from nightmares.
Mum, herself, believed that she would end up with a mental breakdown
from the stress of supporting D and asked help from her GP. D
was consequently referred to a psychologist who said "There
is nothing wrong with D other than school did not suit her and
recommended home education. After D was in control of her world
through HE peace and joy returned to the whole family. They had
all been affected by her experience. D's panic attacks and asthma
became a thing of the past excepting on one occasion when a visit
from the LEA triggered an asthma attack.
- Over a long period W had been bullied by both teachers and peers
and he told his parents that he would rather be dead than go back
to school. Unfortunately they insisted on his return and twice
found him with abbrasions to his neck after attempting to hang
himself. For three years after starting home education he woke
his family at nights screaming in his sleep and a psychologist,
who was asked for help, said that if he had not been removed from
school he would have had severe mental health problems throughout
his life.
