The father of a teenage boy who found out he was banned from his school prom after arriving says that his son feels 'devastated' and 'embarrassed'. Harrison Lang, 15, arrived to his senior year prom on Tuesday evening (June 28) blissfully unaware that he wasn't supposed to be there.
It wasn't until an hour after Harrison had turned up to his prom that teachers called his parents and urged them to pick him up. Stephen Lang, 54, received a call from Camborne Science and International Academy to say that his son wasn't allowed at the event because he had missed one of his final exams and "was naughty this year".
But Stephen says neither him or Harrison were issued any prior warning that he would not be able to attend, and that he had "forked out a small fortune" for his son's suit, shoes and a car hire for the end of year celebration.
