A mother has claimed that her autistic son was attacked by school bullies and needs surgery to mend his injuries. Kate Dale says that her 12-year-old son needs and operation or will be left with a dislocated and fractured shoulder after the "horrendous" attack.
A pupil was allegedly suspended for two days after the incident at Ysgol Botwnnog in Gwynedd. Ms Dale's son has given a statement to the police about the incident which resulted in the injuries. The mother says she has since been contacted by other concerned parents after allegations of bullying at the school.
Ms Dale is calling for extra safety measures - including installing CCTV cameras - to be implemented at the school. She told North Wales Live: “I’m hoping other parents will come forward about their concerns so we can get this sorted before something really bad happens there. I strongly feel the school has handled this very poorly, and has not been taking it seriously. I won’t stop until improvements are put in place.”
