The parents of a 16-year-old boy have slammed his school's health and safety rules after their son suffered two horrible injuries while playing football. Reece Meyer was enjoying an innocent kickabout with his friends at break-time when he fell and broke his leg in two places.
It was the second time the teen had injured himself at The Kings CE Academy in Kidsgrove, outside Stoke-on-Trent. Aged 14, the schoolboy fell and injured his face, breaking two teeth.
Reece's mum Jenna Taylor, and dad Kevin Meyer, said that while accidents do happen, they think the school is not doing enough to prevent such horrific incidents from happening. The worried couple said they don't believe proper risk assessments have been carried out when children are playing football on the tarmac at break times, StokeonTrentLive reports.
