Phil of Perth, Reader's Comment 4 of 53, 280 assaults at WA schools in two terms, Yasmine Phillips, PerthNow, 26 November 2009: http://www.perthnow.com.au/news/western-australia/assaults-at-wa-schools-in-two-terms/story-e6frg15c-1225804034872 Historical link preserved from the original page.

I was verbally attacked and threatened when I was teaching in a WA school.

I was verbally attacked and had threatened at a north eastern primary when I was a teacher in 2004.

This obnoxious parent threatened me, claimed to have followed me home and threatened to kill my dogs and wife because his child was a disruption in class and constantly in trouble.

He then informed another staff member that he'd "had a go at me".

I received NO help from the staff or principal (might hurt their careers), NO help from EDWA and the police could do nothing because the staff member he told wouldn't back me up.

That principal is now in charge of a school south of Freo.

G-d help the kids as he needs viagra to stiffen his spine each day.
