An eight-year-old schoolboy was allegedly sexually assaulted by a classmate.
The boy's parents slammed his primary school for failing to keep their son safe. His family were left reeling at the end of last month when the schoolboy, who cannot be named, blurted out that another boy, also aged eight, had been touching him between his legs repeatedly when they sat next to each other in class.
The boy told his parents he never wanted to see the other boy again and the matter was reported to the north Liverpool primary school and to Merseyside Police. When confronted by teachers, the other boy admitted his behaviour, however the police confirmed that as he is under the age of criminal responsibility no prosecution could be pursued.
