Boy, four, ‘sexually assaulted in his school toilets by a gang of ten-year-old lads’
The youngster's furious parents yesterday blasted police and teachers after they were told the case was being dropped
A BOY of four was allegedly sexually assaulted in his school toilets - by a gang of ten-year-old lads.
The distraught youngster told his parents that he was attacked by three Year Six boys when he popped to the loo at lunchtime.
Cops took his clothes for forensic testing, interviewed him in a specialist evidence suite and quizzed the older boys.
But the youngster's furious parents yesterday blasted police and teachers after they were told the case was being dropped.
His mum said: "Our understanding is that each of the three boys blamed the other two.
"How can they say there is no case to answer if there are three versions of what happened?"
They have now moved their son to another school and are demanding the police look again at the case.
Their son told them he been attacked just a few weeks after starting at the Nottinghamshire school.
His mum said: "He told us over tea when I asked him how school had been.
"He said a dinner lady sent him to the older boys toilets. I thought it was a bit of an odd thing to say so I started asking him more questions and it all came out.
"He said that while he was having a wee three older boys were making fun of him, saying he wasn't going to the toilet properly.
"He then said that one of them smacked his bum while two others committed a sexual assault on him.
"Another boy was in a cubicle and he came out and told them to leave him alone.
"The day after the incident he was really upset and didn't want to go to school. He was crying and has begun wetting the bed which he hadn't done for ages.
"We were horrified when he told us.
"He told me and his dad separately but he told us identical versions so we were sure he was telling the truth.
We were horrified when he told us
"We called the police straightaway and a woman officer came out that night.
"He was in bed by then so she didn't speak to him but we passed on what he had said. She took his clothes away for testing but we were told later that that never happened.
"A few days later he was interviewed at a specialist suite with a social worker present.
"We weren't allowed in but when they came out it was clear that they believed him. They said that four-year-olds don't lie about stuff like that.
"It would be an an odd thing to make up, especially at four.
