A mum has spoken of her devastation after her son has been removed from school for taking a 'toy pistol' to McDonald's. The pupil has been excluded from the new school in Birmingham after the 12-year-old took the toy to the fast food restaurant.
Mum Pauline said son Michael took the toy gun to McDonald's and gave it to a friend who Pauline said later "shot a couple of pellets at two pupils," BirminghamLive reports. The school has said a decision to exclude a child is not made lightly but the 53-year-old mum has suggested its punishment methods were "over the top".
Pauline, a cleaner, has accused the school of "unfair treatment." The mum has also likened the Church of England academy in Yardley Wood to an "army camp".
