Schoolboy, 6, threatens to 'chop teacher's head off' with steak knife he brought to school
six-year-old boy threatened to "chop his teacher's head off" after bringing two knives to school - one of which was a seven-inch steak knife .
The "normally quiet" boy who is a pupil at Hangleton Infant and Junior School in Hove, East Sussex, was excluded following Monday's incident, but is now back at the school being taught separately form other children.
Fearful mums and dads are "not happy he's still there" and say they are too frightened to send their children back to school until something is done about it.
But headteacher Emma Lake said children were not at risk at any point and the boy was excluded.
She said: “Following an incident on Monday in a Year 1 class we excluded one of our pupils in line with our school behaviour policy.
"We would like to reassure parents that their children were not put at risk by the incident which was dealt with effectively and immediately by the class teacher.
"The safety of the children in the school is of paramount importance.
"Arrangements have already been made to ensure that there is no repetition of the incident, and that the school continues to provide a very safe learning environment for our children."

The Year 1 boy is now being taught separately on the Hangleton Infant and Junior School site, in Hove.
A concerned parent, who wished to remain anonymous, said: "My daughter said he came to class with a spoon and two knives, one of which was a steak knife.
"He threatened to chop the teachers head off. This isn't the Bronx, it shouldn't be happening."
"I don't want a call saying my daughter's been stabbed."
"He is being given one-to-one teaching on-site but he shouldn't be allowed back.
"I don't want a call saying my daughter's been stabbed. The boy needs help. I'll probably look for a new school next term if it's not sorted."
The mother of another six-year-old girl said the boy is "normally quiet."
She added: "He is a quiet boy, you don't hear from him."
Hangleton and Knoll councillor Dawn Barnett said several parents had told her they would be considering moving their children to different schools after the incident.
She said: "I received an e-mail from the council saying the child and his mother were being given alternative arrangements for education, but I’m upset I only found out about what happened from parents in the playground. It’s disgusting.
“Some parents are telling me they don’t want to send their children back to school until something is done about it. They’re not happy he’s still there."
Ms Lake said the school was working with the child's parents and Brighton and Hove City Council's specialist education team.

Sorry, but why is he allowed back on the premises? My only guess is so that they can "question him" and find out why he's carrying knives around....
Six years old. Scary.
