West Lothian mum hits out after daughter with Down's Syndrome loses teeth in school accident

A mum from West Lothian has spoken out after an 'emotional year' after her disabled daughter lost her two front teeth in an accident at school.

Amanda Martin hit out at her daughter's school in West Lothian after the incident. She claims an employee at Beatlie School Campus, Livingston, told her different versions of how her child Angel, who has Down's Syndrome, injured herself during an incident on her lunch break in August last year.

The nine-year-old, who is non-verbal, fell from a chair that she was not securely strapped to and banged her face against a table. She sustained heavy swelling and bruising inside her mouth and on her cheeks, as well as losing two adult teeth and damaging two others.
