Under consideration PE2139: Automatic expulsion for children charged with committing a crime against another child

Background information

In previous cases, victims have been treated worse than the perpetrators because of the policies that protect young perpetrators.

This has created circumstances where a person accused of rape is sitting in a classroom with the alleged victim. Schools should be required to automatically expel a pupil if charges are brought against them.

I urge the Government to take a look at this as kids should be protected and should not have to be subject to this. Their education and the rest of their lives are put at risk by ignoring this issue.
