A mum was left sobbing in the street after her nine-year-old son ran away from home because he doesn't want to perform in his school's Christmas concert. The child took his parent's house keys, locked his dad and sister inside the house and ran away from home in a bid to escape the spectacle.
Thankfully, he was spotted by another school mum about 20 minutes later - and no harm was brought to him. Opening up on Mumsnet, the woman wrote: "For last year's Christmas performance the school offered that he do the lighting and screens rather than be on the stage. This worked well for him as he was still a part of the production. This year, however, they are insistent that he must physically take part, be that singing, dancing or narrating. He is adamant that he doesn't want to face an audience of 100 parents."
