Tyreece Wedderburn,
was just three hours into his first day school for troubled children in
Wolverhampton, when another pupil ran around the classroom with a pair of
scissors threatening to stab other pupils.
A female teacher
is said to have grabbed the scissors and accidentally stabbed Tyreece in the
arm while she tried to fend off the out-of-control pupil.
Tyreece was rushed
to hospital after the incident at New Park School in Cromer Gardens, Whitmore
Reans, where he received five stitches to a three-inch wound to his upper left
arm.
Miss Stuart, 34,
from Wednesfield said: “I was
panicking about sending him there in the first place because when we went to
look around it was chaos. The kids were completely out of control, running
around fighting and swearing at the teachers.
“I’m angry and
devastated over what’s gone on. To send your kid to school and have him get
stabbed is something that no parent should have to go through.”
She added:
"The teacher was trying to the scissors off this boy and he was abusive
towards her.
"When she got
the scissors off him, the boy was racist to Tyreece and ran over towards him.
The teacher then ran over and had stabbed Tyreece.
"She wasn't
holding the scissors properly. She was holding them with the blade outwards.
"I am not
very happy with the school. They haven't even apologised for this." The
teacher has now been suspended and the school has launched an investigation
into the incident.
West Midlands
Police has also spoken to the school and family.
A spokesman for
Wolverhampton council said: "We are fully aware of an incident which
occurred at New Park School on Friday.
"A member of
staff has been suspended without prejudice pending the outcome of the
independent investigation currently underway.”
