Dangerous Dogs: article for On Being Young

Police are trying to trace the owner of a Staffordshire bull terrier that attacked more than a dozen children at a park in Northumberland.

The incident took place in Burns Avenue, Blyth, at 6.30pm on Wednesday. Nine children were treated in hospital for bite injuries. None are thought to have been seriously injured.

Sheryl Allison, whose daughter was in the park at the time, told ChronicleLive: "The dog attacked about 14 kids, it was like a terrorist attack. There were injured kids lying all over the place, it was a war zone.

"Eventually a dad of one of the girls saw what was happening and sprinted into the park and jumped on the dog, he pinned it down until the police arrived. The whole street has been traumatised by this, nothing like this has ever happened before."

Brooke Nesbitt, 11, who was playing in the park at the time of the attack, described seeing distressed parents trying to drag the dog off one of her friends.

"The dog was playing for a little while and then the dog started getting very vicious," she said. "We did not know what was happening. I was playing on the diamond when I saw the dog attacking my friend and then a few adults come in and were trying to get the dog off her.

"My friend has got loads of bites all over her, 12 bites altogether. The first girl to be bitten is only seven and she has nine bites. The dog was chucking her around like a rag doll."

After Brooke's friend was freed from the dog, it then chased Brooke around the park. She said: "I just started running and the dog started coming after me. It pushed me over next to the climbing frame and scratched my back when I tried to get up and then it bit my leg.

"I was petrified, I was screaming. People were just getting bit, the dog was just going to one person then going to another and then to another."

A Northumbria police spokeswoman said the dog was being kept in a secure kennel until the owner was found.

"At around 6.30pm on Wednesday, police received reports of a dog that had bitten a number of children in the park next to Burns Avenue in Blyth," the spokeswoman said. "Emergency services attended and police were able to bring the animal under control.

"A number of children were taken to hospital with bite wounds but none of the injuries are thought to be serious. Police remain in the area to reassure the local community and carry out inquiries to locate the animal's owner."

Corporal Punishment Records

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Headmaster only permitted to use a 'thin flexible cane'

Youngsters were given smacks and slaps

Items discovered by head as he tidied school basement

Bad behaviour including biting ears and repeated acts of violence

It may seem hard for youngsters of today to believe, but just 30 years ago badly behaved schoolchildren as little as six could expect 'six blows on the rump'.

Scribbled notes from a headmaster reveal how one unruly pupil guilty of 'bullying, vandalism and general acts of thuggery' was disciplined in this manner.

The punishments dealt out in the 1970s and 80s were detailed in a book entitled 'Record of Corporal Punishment' found by headmaster Mike Wood as he looked for artefacts to help with his primary school's centenary celebrations.

The fascinating previously unseen records of Greenfield Primary in Oldham, Greater Manchester, illustrate how corporal punishment was dished out to naughty pupils in Britain's schools.

Other youngsters were given smacks and slaps for a range of misdemeanours including biting, an attack on a girl's neck, 'continual disruptive behaviour' and 'repeated acts of vandalism and indiscipline.

The rules stated it could only be used as a method of disciplining children by the headmaster or teachers with at least three years experience using a 'thin flexible cane' supplied by the education authority.

All details of canings and actual number of slaps or smacks had to be recorded in the book and any girls deemed to have been naughty would have to be caned by women teachers with relevant teaching experience.

The hand-drawn plans even show a dividing wall across the school and playground which separated the boys from the girls to prevent them from mixing.

'The Corporal Punishment book recorded when a child was punished, who by and what the punishment was and it would be signed off by the teacher that had implemented that punishment.

'One of the things a child had been punished for was 'biting and general thuggery.'

'We seek their opinions and they feel more involved. I think that makes for a really happy environment.'

He added: 'I've got the original school plans on my study wall and we even found the original register from when the school opened.

'The itemised list of what everything cost to build the school is incredible to see. The wall down the middle of the school meant girls had to go in one side and the boys in the other.

The original register, from when the school first opened in 1912, gives details of what the children went on to do once they had left including working in the textile mills, telegraph boy, joiner, shoemaker and even a dwarf in a show.

The first headmaster of the school Henry Hudson also had to record his own son Ernest's death in the register writing 'my little lad died.'

However, the register also shows how many children died with details given such as 'hip disease' or in one case a death in the Battle of Cateau in August 1914.

Mr Wood added: 'The register is just fascinating it was the original dating back to when the school first opened its doors.

One of the names in the register was Grace Cooke, who is now 92 and still living in the area.

Ten-year-old pupil Roshni Parmar-Hill said: 'She had a teacher that if she saw you talking she would throw the board duster at you and she said she never missed once.

A 2008 poll of 6,162 UK teachers by the Times Educational Supplement found that one in five teachers, and 22% of secondary teachers, would still back the use of caning in extreme cases.
