Mother-of-five faces jail because her son did not attend lessons while he was grieving the death of his father - but the school said it was not a good enough reason


For this weeks “Sunday News” I have decided to talk about a story, which I found on the main page of the Daily News. This story describes how a woman is being prosecuted by a council due to a low attendance of one of the sons whose father recently died in an accident

I found this story interesting and decided to express my own opinion about it, as personally I believe that the woman was put in a critical situation and it just shows how heartless and cruel some people can be just to get money out of others.
The council and school knew very well about the situation that the family was in, yet they still decided to place the mother in trouble just for their own good, and not considering the effect which, this can cause on the children who are now scared that “They will loose the mother too”.

Furthermore, the article also describes how the schools of the other children were supportive of the situation and did not make any problems about the children’s attendance.


In addition, I think that it is important that this story was placed as the biggest article on the main page of the Daily Mail website as it will catch the attention of the readers and may interest them enough into completing some kind of action which, may help the family, however, also to prevent another situation like this from happening in the future.
