A MUM today made a heartfelt plea for a school to do more to stamp out bullying after her 10-year-old son was urinated on by a fellow pupil in the school toilets.

Christine Hezzlewood said her son Daniel, a pupil at Whittlefield County Primary School, Burnley, had suffered several terms of being punched and kicked by a group of bullies and did not think enough had been done to stop the attacks.

She has kept a diary of Daniel's torment in the form of a calendar with the date and example of bullying recorded.

In the latest incident Mrs Hezzlewood said Daniel's school jumper had been urinated on by a group of boys.

The school, in Tabor Street, is not believed to have a history of bullying.

The mum, 39, of Bread Street, Burnley, said: "This all came to a head when Daniel came home after school on Tuesday with a sopping wet jumper. He told me that another boy had followed him into the school toilets at the end of the day and urinated on him.

"Daniel has been bullied for three terms now, but this is the worst incident.

"All sorts of things have been happening, from Daniel being punched and kicked to having his head shoved into railings.

"He has almost come to expect the bullying to happen every day now and he won't fight back because that's not how he is.

"The school could do something, though, and we have been to see the headmistress on several occasions.

"At one stage things got so bad Daniel was suffering from chest pains which the doctor put down to the stress of the bullying."

Christine, who is married to Michael, 42, added: "Something really needs to be done to stop this happening.

"Daniel is leaving in September to go to big school at Gawthorpe, where hopefully things will improve, but I want to make sure no one else has to go through the same as he has."

Headteacher Julie Caygill issued the following statement through the county council: "We have a strong anti-bullying policy at the school and always investigate fully if a parent makes a complaint.

"I have investigated Mrs Hezzlewood's complaints thoroughly and spoken to the parents of the other children involved in the incidents who have been dealt with appropriately."

The school would not comment on the individual incidents.
