Police speak to boy, 10, due to spelling error
As a result, the child was interviewed on 7 December by police and the authorities examined a laptop found at his family home.
His family has since demanded the school and police apologise, according to the BBC.
A cousin of the boy, who has not been named to protect his identity, said his relatives initially thought it was a joke, but that the boy had been traumatised by the experience.
“You can imagine it happening to a 30-year-old man, but not to a young child,” she told the BBC. “If the teacher had any concerns it should have been about his spelling.”
“They shouldn’t be putting a child through this.”
“He’s now scared of writing, using his imagination.”
If you have nothing to hide, you still have everything to fear.
