A nursery teacher has resigned after posting pictures of her son dressed as a paramilitary soldier on her public Twitter page.
Catherine Forrest uploaded snaps of the boy in camouflage clothes, gloves and a balaclava, clutching a toy gun. One picture of him with the plastic Armalite-style weapon was captioned “My wee Volunteer”.
In another pic, which showed the child with an adult male also wearing a balaclava, the lad was pointing the gun at the camera. Forrest captioned that picture with crying face laughing emojis. The images were uploaded to Twitter on Sunday.
