Just how long were these children left unsupervised is one of the questions I would have wanted answered as well martyh, also why wasn't the fact that a young child was repeatedly upset not acted upon. No matter what was causing her distress I can't believe someone didn't pick up on it and take some form of action.
Obviously we aren't getting the whole story but for the school to be so slow to take any form action

is totally wrong.
I can't believe that the school and Education Authority consider the only offenders to be the other children. We send our children to school trusting that the adults we are trusting them with are responsible professionals. In this case it would appear that trust was sorely misplaced.
This is one case where I hope the school and Education Authority is shamed by the community they purport to serve and are forced to consider their own failings.
