Tracey Fidler: Mother could be jailed for allowing her son to miss school after his father died

First topic message reminder :

A mother who allowed her grieving son to take time off school after the death of his father may be jailed.
Kris Jarvis, 39, was killed in a drinking-driving incident in February 2014. The driver, Alexander Walter, was over the drink limit when he hit Mr Jarvis and friend and fellow cyclist John Morland, 30, at 70mph in Purley on Thames, in Berkshire. Both men were killed in the incident, and Walter was subsequently sentenced to 10 years and three months in prison. In the months following Mr Jarvis’ death, the attendance of his grieving youngest son, Adam, 11, at Battle Primary School in Reading dropped to 45 per cent. Reading Borough Council – who employed the father – is now prosecuting Tracey Fidler, 40, Mr Jarvis' fiancee and partner of over 20 years, for letting their son miss school.

Ms Fidler appeared at Reading Magistrates Court on Friday 25 September, and was bailed until Friday 9 October after pleading not-guilty, GetReading reported, and could now face a custodial sentence. The mother-of-five, who met David Cameron as she campaigned for stricter drink-driving sentences in the wake of her partner's death, said the school was aware of the circumstances but did not agree that her son should have been kept at home. She told The Sunday Times that Adam “was in bits” after his father died, and feared going to school in case his mother “wouldn’t be there” when he returned.

A Change.org petition defending Ms Fidler has garnered over 6,000 signatures in three days.

But to just simply remove someone from their home is not on.
And I bet the refugee family wouldn't think it was right either as they know how it feels!!!

I don't think a refugee family would care eddie. I don't think they give two hoots about the citizens of Germany.

I disagree. They will fully understand the above situation.

I just don't think the Government has thought this through and making a grave mistake with moving her.

Sure they'll understand it, but they won't care. All they care about is their own safety and comfort.
