A mum says she has pulled her son out of school after he was made to drink tap water. Marie Donnelly's son Larsson Hankins has autism, and only drinks juice or Evian bottled water.
The incident arose after Bude Park Primary School in Hull put in place a new policy which only permits pupils to drink tap water from reusable bottles, which the school provides. However due to his autism, Larsson is very particular about what he does and does not like, his mum claims, and ignoring this can cause a lot of distress.
Marie claims Larsson was approached by a member of staff who had noticed that he was not drinking from his school bottle. She says the staff member then took him to "play a game" and told him that he "had to have a drink" because they had spoken with his mother and that she was "concerned", HullLive reports.
