A mum has slammed her son’s school as being "over the top" with its punishment after he was excluded for taking a toy gun into McDonald's before class.
Pauline Pollard said her son Mitchell, 12, had been booted out of Christ Church in Yardley Wood, a brand new school which opened in September, Birmingham Live reports.
Mitchell took a black and yellow toy gun to McDonald's and gave it to a friend who Pauline said later "shot a couple of pellets at two pupils".
