Harry Reid expelled

 An angelic-looking five-year-old has been kicked out of school – after allegedly being branded the “naughtiest” boy his headteacher had ever met.
Harry Reid was expelled over what a council called a “number of very serious incidents” - including pushing another boy into a bookcase.
But Harry’s worried mum said she feared he had already been written off and claimed her pleas for extra support had been ignored.
Debbie Reid, 34, said a letter from his doctors explaining Harry was on the autistic and ADHD spectrum was disregarded.
“He watches his little sister getting ready for school and is so frustrated he can’t go,” she said.
“He told me: ‘I don’t have any friends anymore, all of my days are ruined’.
“He’s been out of school for two weeks now and he’s only had seven pieces of work sent home. It’s disgusting.
“They’ve kicked him out and given up on him.
“He is a really caring, loving child. But the headteacher told me he was the naughtiest boy she had ever met.”

 Debbie, a bookies cashier from Hall Green in Birmingham, admitted Harry had also thrown items around the classroom and kicked out at other children.
However, she added: “It is just his condition. He gets frustrated in social situations sometimes but the school should have had a system in place to deal with him.”
Harry is due for an assessment on November 6 to find out where he places on the autism spectrum and ADHD scale.
Council chiefs are working to find Harry a place at another school but Debbie said she feared his behaviour would worsen elsewhere.
She wants him to return to nearby St Ambrose Barlow Catholic School.

A council spokesman said: “The decision to exclude a child from school is not taken lightly and is only ever an absolute last resort.
“The school has done everything they could to support the child; however, there have been a number of very serious incidents and the welfare of this child has to be balanced with that of fellow pupils and staff.
“We are now working with all parties to find the most appropriate environment that will meet the future needs of the child.”
