Parents arrested for complaining about school in Whatsapp group
Police arrest parents for complaining about school on WhatsApp
- Parents Maxie Allen and Rosalind Levine were arrested in January for allegedly harassing their daughter's primary school, Cowley Hill Primary School, through emails and WhatsApp messages.
- The couple, who have a disabled and neurodivergent daughter, were detained for eight hours and subjected to searches and fingerprinting, but no charges were filed.
- The conflict began when Mr. Allen questioned the school's headteacher appointment process, leading to a ban from school grounds and events.
- The school alleges the couple's communications were excessive and upsetting to staff, parents, and governors.
- Hertfordshire police confirmed the arrests were made based on harassment and malicious communication allegations but concluded there was insufficient evidence for further action.
