A mum says that felt forced to pull her son from college just a few days after term started when another student allegedly threatened to stab him during a class row. Jayden Bryan, 14, was in an IT lesson at South and City College in Birmingham when a fellow pupil reportedly warned: "I'm going to stab you up."
Chantelle Stephens called 999 as soon as she heard what happened to her 14-year-old son on one of his first days at the college. He was allegedly told to "watch himself outside" amid threats he would be beaten up and stabbed shortly before 2pm on Friday (September 9).
BirminghamLive reported that the college, which insisted the verbal threat was "not a major incident", said the student involved has been "interviewed and is now being monitored". West Midlands Police enquiries are ongoing. Jayden had only started at the campus, in Longbridge Lane, Bourneville, on Monday last week after moving to the college. His mum, 39, said the argument erupted during an IT class.
