No school for 18 months story makes it on to BBC Radio Shropshire

Last week I was contacted by the producer of BBC Radio Shropshire’s breakfast programme, who had noticed my tweets about Sam, checked out the blog, and decided there was indeed something newsworthy about a child denied any form of education for 18 months. A reporter came round to visit us and the interview was conducted with Sam playing in quite possibly the noisiest way he could have chosen, piling up Lego and forcefully driving a toy fire engine through it.  At one point he apparently decided the reporter Dan was in the way of the car he was pushing and attempted to simply bulldoze him out of the way.

I would have posted this sooner but was waiting for permission from BBC Shropshire to post the interview online. Suffice it to say, mission accomplished! This was broadcast on the breakfast programme with Eric Smith and Clare Ashford, and is reproduced here with permission!
