A devastated mum has spoken out after her son was excluded from school for taking a "toy gun" into a McDonald's restaurant before class.
Pauline Pollard said that her son Mitchell, 12, was kicked out of school, a brand new school which opened in September 2021.
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".
