Have name changed as not sure if my details plus incident in school toilet would be identifiable....
My daughter is in year 4 at a local state junior school. She has slight developmental delay - I would consider her to be a little "vulnerable". Also due to many toilet accidents has permission to go during class at any time.
On Friday she said she had been in the toilets sometime in the afternoon after lunch and someone had written all over one of the toilet cubicle walls. IN POO. She told someone and the teachers closed the toilets so they could be cleaned. Girls were told to use the disabled toilet in the meantime. And in assembly the incident was spoken about to all the children who were told how unacceptable it was etc. They were also told that this was the second such incident like this - although the first incident had not previously been mentioned.
I thought (though I have not said anything) that such an act from a junior child is extreme and possibly there is a very disturbed child/person in the school going into the toilets to do this. I dont think it can be usual to use poo to write on walls
Or am I unenlightened and is this a common act of rebellion and I should not get overly bothered. Should I be worried about DD going into the toilets on her own for example? Would appreciate any views on whether the school should be doing anything more or if it is just one of those things that happen. (Am dreading secondary school if this goes on in primary).
