A mum said she burst into tears after a school teacher mocked her son's name, saying it should be for a dog. The woman, who 'would do anything for her child', is currently in two minds about reporting the teacher to the school's headmaster, as she no longer wants her around her son, reports the Mirror.
The mum's sister was collecting the four-year-old from school while she attended a long-awaited dentist appointment - and this is when the teacher made her thoughts on the boy's name known. She claims to have overheard the entire conversation and relayed it to her sister when she dropped her nephew off at home. Speaking on Reddit, the boy's auntie said: "My sister is extremely family orientated and spent the entire summer getting her son ready for school.
"He was excited about going to school. He really enjoyed nursery and made a lot of friends, who he always speaks about and wants to hang out with after school." Like most parents, the mother-son duo made a special effort to prepare for his first year by picking out a lunch box and buying a school uniform.
