There is a child

[Kaz]

screaming "Mummy, mummyyyyyyyy!" almost non stop over the back here, almost certainly from the infant school there. Quite honestly the school should be ashamed IMO to allow this, if the child is so distraught to scream non stop for that amount of time (over half an hour) they should call his/her mum to come in - if mum is at work and can't, surely someone could comfort the child! 4 years old is awfully young to start school, especially for the summer babies

I was finding it quite upsetting whilst pegging out my washing......................

Oh, how upsetting I think if it was me I might call the school if it goes on

[TheOstrich]

... and tell the school that you're thinking about calling Social Services ......

Poor little mite

Oh the poor little thing - I'm upset just reading this.

Oh the poor little thing, how horrible

Poor little thing.

Half an hour is a long time to let him/her keep shouting without doing something about it.

However, I suppose the child has to be at school (which I completely disagree with at that age. I personally don't think they should start until they are 6 or 7) and if they "give in" and ring mum on this occasion it could become a daily thing for the child. Shout loud enough and they will give in to what I want.

Very sad for the poor little mite though.

He probably just needs a cuddle and distracting, but are teachers allowed to cuddle children any more?

[Kaz]

That's what I was thinking Loz, are they allowed to touch children any more? It comes to something when PC means you can't cuddle a 4 year who is distraught

It stopped just after I posted thankfully, but if it happens again I might just call them, make them aware that people do notice!!

See how it is tomorrow too if you are around. Poor sausage
