In the UK, police arrested parents because they criticized the school administration too much (3 photos + 1 video)
According to the parents, the school did not want to take into account the special requirements of the girl, who has been diagnosed with epilepsy.
Police officers in Hertfordshire, England, arrested Allen and Rosalind Levin, the parents of two daughters, after the couple criticised the school in a WhatsApp message.
The couple were arrested in front of their three-year-old daughter and spent several hours in a police cell before being released without charge. Law enforcement officers asked them questions about their correspondence with the school administration via email and their communication in instant messengers.
The school contacted the police because it considered the number of emails that parents were sending to the administration to be too large. At the same time, the school representatives themselves collected personal messages from parents in WhatsApp chats and elsewhere. The school also, as The Times writes, repeatedly made comments to the family about the inadmissibility of comments with "incitement and disdain." Subsequently, the parents were banned from visiting the educational institution.
The Levins told reporters that a significant portion of the correspondence was devoted to a dispute over a ban on appearing at school and passing on instructions for working with their daughter, who has been diagnosed with epilepsy. The parents repeatedly wanted to come to the class to pass on recommendations to the new teacher in case the girl had a seizure. However, the administration refused.
Law enforcement issued a warning to the family and demanded that the child be transferred to another institution. At the same time, the school administration and the police refused to name the threshold for messages, above which there is liability for sending them. A law enforcement representative said that “after further investigation, officers decided that no further action should be taken due to insufficient evidence.”
