Outraged parents have hit out at a school's "inhumane" toilet policy with some being forced to pay for their children to receive a special toilet pass.
One mum says her daughter has been sent to detention for flaunting the bathroom policy at Marine Academy in Plymouth, with restricted access to the toilet leaving her suffering from urinary tract infections (UTIs). Other parents have also slammed the 'horrendous' rules, which have left some female students having accidents while on their periods, Stoke-on-Trent Live reports.
Mum Carol Courage claims her 12-year-old daughter has been refused use the bathroom several times, even when she explains she is desperate. Dawn Shepard and Trevor Joyce, who are parents of another 12-year-old girl at the school, said their daughter has also ended up with UTIs - and now no longer wants to attend school.
