The problem was so bad at one school that police had to set up a behavioural change program to stop teachers being assaulted daily. … Speaking after the forum, Sen-Constable Brooks said police were getting calls from sporting clubs, schools and parents concerned about children’s behaviour. “Parents are calling, beside themselves not knowing what to do,” Sen-Const Brooks said. She said some student victims were too distraught to leave the house.
