Police visit girl, 11, over Facebook page

London: Police visited an 11-year-old's home after her school complained about a Facebook group she set up criticising her headmistress.

Her parents Andrew and Joy Bagguley said they feared one of their daughters had been involved in an accident when they saw the Police Community Support Officer on their doorstep.

But the officer was in fact there about a page set up by their daughter, Leah, to protest what she believed was head Georgina Frost's failure to deal with a boy of five who the family say threatened her younger sister.

The group, called Hate Mrs Frost, attracted 16 members before it was taken down by her parents when the school then attended by both girls — Park Hall Primary in Stoke-on-Trent — told them about it.

The following week a PCSO knocked at their door to advise that Leah, who was a prefect at the school, was too young to be on the site which has a minimum age limit of 13.

The Bagguleys have now banned Leah from Facebook and accused the school of going over the top.

Her father said: "We told the PCSO we had now stopped her from using Facebook and they were happy with that. Leah's a top student and every teacher said she's a credit to the school."
