A seven-year-old boy was left in floods of tears and ‘deeply humiliated’ by his own teachers after he was banned from crucial elements of school life because he has the behavioral disorder ADHD.
This meant Bobby Tyson’ was not allowed to attend an end of term disco, a theatre trip and even the annual class photo at the school in Thurrock, Essex.
Traumatised: Bobby Tyson was left in floods of tears and ‘deeply humiliated’ by his own teachers after he was banned from crucial elements of school life because he has the behavioral disorder ADHD
After being found guilty of discrimination at a tribunal, East Tilbury Infant School, offered ‘unreserved apologies’ for its ‘inadequate’ treatment of Bobby.
The youngster, now aged 8, was left so traumatised he drew a heartbreaking picture of himself with two teachers and a speech bubble which said – ‘I don’t exist’.
Bobby was banned by teachers from going to see the Lion King – but only told the day before the trip took place.
His mother Holly Tyson, 29, was so outraged by the treatment her son received that she took the matter to tribunal.

Tribunal judge Stewart Hunter has now demanded the school makes a written apology to Bobby and his mother.
The judge also ordered all staff at the school to receive training on disability discrimination and demanded the school reviews its special educational needs policy.
Ms Tyson said today: ‘At no time before I was told Bobby would not be going on the trip was any effort made to discuss this with me.
‘If there had been some discussion, I could have suggested that either myself or my sister could accompany him.
‘I had been preparing Bobby for this trip for weeks beforehand, telling him how important it was to behave well.
‘I believe he made a real effort and he was terribly disappointed when he was told he was not going.’
Teachers justified their decision not to take Bobby on their school trip following a safety assessment, which found his condition meant he was prone to impulsive behaviour.
Bobby, who also suffers from infantile incontinence, was left sitting in lessons in soiled underwear for hours at a time by teachers – resulting in painful sores.
Mr Hunter said the school had failed to manage Bobby’s bowel condition properly and was wrong to exclude him from the trip and other events.
He told the tribunal at the Health Education and Social Care Chamber:
‘The effect on Bobby of being in soiled clothes does, in our view constitute placing him at a substantial disadvantage.
‘We therefore find Bobby was discriminated against.’
East Tilbury Infant School headteacher Shelagh Cosgrow said: ‘East Tilbury Infant School prides its self on the support and guidance it gives its pupils.
‘Indeed in 2010 Ofsted rated the school outstanding for care, guidance and support.
‘However, we accept the tribunal’s findings that errors were made in this instance.
‘In compliance with the tribunal, the school has written to the family and apologised.
‘It has arranged for staff to have appropriate training and it is reviewing its policy.
‘The school is committed to ensuring every child is treated fairly and individual needs are met.’
ADHD is the most common behavioural disorder in the UK and affects and estimated 3 – 9 per cent of school-aged children and young people, more often boys than girls.
It is a behavioural condition which can cause sufferers to be hyperactive, inattentive and impulsive.

Children in this country who have ADHD are treated appallingly by schools. I know as my child has it . Her school was shameful the way it treated her. Poor little boy!

What a way to treat a child,

I don’t know how I feel about this =/ Clearly the school should have handled it better and with more sensitivity. At the same time, I can see why the school wouldn’t let him go on the trip. Teachers are NOT babysitters/nurses/mums and thus should not be treated as such! Also, wouldn’t it be more humiliating for Bobby now that his story has been spread all over the internet, including the fact that he has infantile incontinence? Just wondering…

I understand how hard this is for the mother. I have a brother who suffers from Autism and I worry about all the time.
However, you have to understand that not all teachers completely understand every metal condition there is. They aren’t doing it to be mean, its mainly stupidity. It is up to the parents to highlight the conditions of the child and if them conditions be very severe, perhaps a more specialized school is appropriate.
Lets not forget that the school can only do so much before other students education is being affected. Its a very sensitive subject, but there is a fundamental line where the school has to draw and say perhaps a more specialized route is appropriate, that, I would agree with the article. This school needs to review and alter it’s special needs policy.

I had a similar situation myself where I had to threaten legal action at my son’s school when they tried to exclude him from a special week long trip to mark the end of primary school. He ended up going, behaved very well and retains wonderful memories of it. Parents have to use their discretion though also…very occasionally, I withdrew my son from some things I knew he couldn’t handle and I also made myself available as support person when I could. It goes both ways because I doubt there will ever be enough funding to fully support such children within the education system.

Poor little man. I’m so sorry you were let down by your school. I hope you find a school that will let you thrive and just be you.
And to read about the picture you drew made me so sad. Hold your head high kiddo, because there are better times ahead for you xx

Well my sons’ school looked after their ADHD students so well that my eldest son had to change schools. An ADHD pupil was bullying him, but the school said that it was beyond his control, so there was nothing they could do. This left me with a son that was near suicidal, so we had to move him. My youngest son didn’t want to leave his friends to move elsewhere, so we have children in two schools, one of which I will never forgive for failing my eldest.

His mum is right to complain. She should have been given the opportunity to accompany her son to a public event if the school had concerns. I work at a school and this is what we would have done and have done. To leave a child behind would be the last thing we would consider. If the child has a soiling accident, phone mum or dad immediately to come and change him, and allow him to wait somewhere privately and not have to be embarrassed in class. Heavens above!

Poor boy, but really why is a child with ADHD and infantile incontinence in mainstream education? Teachers have enough to do teaching a class of average seven/eight year olds without having to deal with disruptive pupils or concern themselves with their uncontrolled bowels. Harsh, but true.

So much for inclusion…
