School truants are being hauled out of bed by police and escorted to classes in a patrol car.
Officers are clamping down on truants by calling at the homes of any pupils who fail to turn up to school without a reason.
If they are still in bed, police get the parents to wake them up before driving them to lessons.

The crackdown is the first of its kind and was launched last week in Amesbury, Wiltshire.
Inspector Christian Lange, the town’s police chief, said it is already producing results.
He said: ‘So far, one early morning visit from the police has been enough.
‘It’s not good for the parents when their neighbours see us knocking on their doors and taking their kids off to school.’
Each morning, police officers are provided with a list of children who have failed to turn up at school without a reasonable explanation.
Insp Lange said: ‘Of course, if they are off sick or there is a good reason then we don’t intervene.
‘If they are still in bed, we get their parents to wake them up, we put them in the car and deliver them straight to school.’
Officers are accompanied by an education welfare officer and are working closely in partnership with Wiltshire Council and local schools.

It is hoped the crackdown will help reduce antisocial behaviour in the town and ensure that children are getting their education.
Insp Lange said: ‘The correct place for a child of that age to be is in school.
‘If they are not in school they are more likely to get into trouble – it’s not good for anyone to be hanging around, doing nothing all day.
‘Truancy is a recurring problem for a small number of children. They are missing out on their education, and if us waking them up and taking them to school is what is needed, then that is what we will do.
‘So far we have been very pleased with the results, it is early days but we are taking truancy very seriously.
‘It is a real example of a partnership working and getting things done.’
Parents have a legal responsibility to ensure their children attend school until they are 16.
From next year the school leaving age is due to rise to 17, and to 18 in 2015.
Fixed penalty notices and fines can be issued if parents fail to make sure their children go to school along with parenting contracts and parenting orders designed to enforce attendance.

“Scheme in Amesbury, Wiltshire, is first of its kind” No it’s not, it was a normal,regular thing back in the day when kids had respect and an ability to read and write.

Easy just apply a nice fine on each occasion; the parent would soon make sure the child went to school.

This was routine in the 50s, the school board as we called him would be knocking on your door not long after the register had been called wanting to know why you were not in school.

Parents do not have to send children to school. They have to provide an education. They can keep them at home for this, as I did very successfully.

I would love to see something like this in the USA. Here homeowners pay extremly high taxes for our schools. Incentive: Your kid does not go to school, well then, you have to pay back the taxpayer! Of course, if people woke up and acted like responsible parents, many of these truancy problems could be solved. Next problem after they walk through the door: “I forgot my books.” “I forgot my homework.” “I have no lunch today” (Also on the taxpayer’s dime I might add). They are ill-prepared, ill-behaved, and have no respect for the importance of the “free” education provided to them. I say that the cops should haul them out of bed and to school the first time. The second time they should haul them out of bed and down to the station house – right along with the parents who seem incapable of enforcing the proper disciplines of life.

They wont be able to do that for very long not when the cuts come in

I would think this was a great idea if they issued an on the spot fine to the parents just before dragging the little darlings off to school

Matthew,– I by no means meant to be “patronizing”, dear interloper. It was my intent to provoke contemplation, awaken concern and prod Stuart to take measures in order to improve upon his knowledge and usage of the English language. It was also my intent to encourage Stuart to avoid any further embarrassment to my fellow countrymen and myself by claiming to have once been a British schoolboy. Was he allowed to graduate from any institution? I certainly hope not. I have determined that you must have attended English classes. I am, indeed, truly grateful. There is hope for the survival of the Queen’s English. I can now rest awhile for all is not lost. Am I successful now, my good man?

Why aren’t the police arresting their parents for not sending them to school?
