    I didn't report him his sister did.
    He was warned she was going to do this but ignored the warning.
    Lets hope he is stopped.

    Well done to you & his sister. Its in his best interests as well, though may not seem like that in the short term.

    hmm i know this is off topic but, i recently found out my kids can get free meds from the chemist that dont need to be described by the doc as they are under 16. i recently had a bad problem (nits) with my son from school, went into the chemist to buy lotion and was told as he is under 16 there is a new service available (also available to benefits and etc.) so i got lyclear free. and it worked. But I just hope nobody abuses this new system as it will get pulled, and then it spoils it for the rest of us. But if ever you need something that can be bought over the counter and you have kids, are on benefits etc. then ask your chemist. ps i also got some calpol as well from it when my daughter had a fever.
    p.s you need to register you/your child for the service.
