Daughters water contaminated at school

Just that - daughter went out to play at school break time. Came back in and thankfully noticed her bottle had bubbles in it so didn’t actually drink it. However it turns out that someone has put hand sanitizer in the water. (She opened the bottle and could smell it I think)
school didn’t ring me until an hour after school ends (it happened morning break). Daughter was at her dad’s last night so I knew nothing of it until they rang.
they don’t know who did it. The only thing the teacher explained at is that it is dangerous to do things like that - he said they spent 20 minutes talking about the dangers and then carried on with lessons.
how would you feel?

I do think the police or a pcso should speak to the class.. I think whoever did this, as they won't be getting directly punished, needs a short sharp shock and to be aware that this is extremely serious.

In many areas the likelihood of being able to arrange the police, or a pcso, in so quickly would be minimal. Chances are it could be arranged for a couple of week's time at the earliest.

We have them in for talks about various topics at time. It takes a fair amount of planning to get available dates and times.

Like most services there just isn't lots of spare staff sat around waiting to come and talk to primary school children. I'd imagine it's hard enough to get them to come into secondaries to talk about topics, let alone to a primary class.

Agreed. And it didn't even have the desired effect because her daughter smelled it and didn't drink any. If she'd taken a sip she would have spat it out. The OP didn't need to come and replace the drink, I'm sure someone rinsed out the bottle and refilled it with fresh water.

10 year olds do stupid things. If it happens again then it gets more serious but I'm sure the culprits will have thought better of it. If the teacher does suspect who did it then some investigation will be going in which the OP won't know about. If any of the other children know who it was they might well tell a member of staff.

As for cctv I don't know a single Primary school that has it. It would be controversial and some parents would be stunned to see how their children behave which might not be a bad thing.

'They might well tell a member.of staff'

The teacher should have invited class members to come and tell her privately who the culprit was. Children will.often tell if they are frightened by the actions of another child but are afraid to speak out. The opportunity to have a word in private word is needed.
