Furious mum banned from four-year-old daughter’s nativity play after playground bust-up with parent
Danielle Evans insists she was sticking up for her autistic son
A MUM-of-three has been left "heartbroken" after she was banned from her daughter's first school nativity following a playground row.
Danielle Evans claims she is being unfairly excluded over a clash in which she insists she was sticking up for her autistic son.
The 32-year-old mum has missed out on one nativity performance at Our Lady and St Rose of Lima Catholic Primary School in Weoley Castle, in which daughter Talulah-Rose played a sheep.
She is expected to miss the second performance today.
Danielle said: “I'm absolutely heartbroken. I pleaded with the school but they wouldn't listen. It's meant to be a special moment for parents and I won't ever be able to get that moment back.”
She was banned over the argument at the gates of the school, but claims she simply responded to hurtful comments from another parent.
She said: “I went to pick up my children from school and I overhead another parent saying things about my children.
"I asked her if the comments were directed at my son and she started screaming and pointing her finger in my face. I argued back and she had to be restrained.
“Afterwards we went into the school and we were both banned from the school premises.
“I apologised, told them I had stepped away from the situation and asked to go to the play, but they wouldn't listen."
The mum added: “The school won't talk to me on the phone and they have said it is in the hands of the local authority, but when I call the local authority they don't know anything about it.”
Danielle's seven-year-old daughter Lily and nine-year-old son Louie also go to the school.

She is now waiting to hear by letter if the ban will be lifted over the row on November 30.
She missed the 9.30am nativity on Tuesday and is due to miss another one on Wednesday at 1.30pm.
A school spokesperson said: “A couple of parents have been banned from the premises due to their unacceptable behaviour, and unfortunately this coincides with the school nativity which means they are not able to watch the production.”
