Parents Cross the Line in School Chats

What started as a convenient way to share school updates has turned into a minefield of abuse, shaming, and legal chaos. UK parents in WhatsApp groups are under fire for targeting teachers and fellow parents — sometimes leading to arrests.

In a growing number of cases, headteachers are consulting lawyers, banning parents from chat groups, and warning of defamation risks. One woman was arrested for criticizing school hiring. Another was shamed for defending a teacher.

Is the digital school gate becoming more toxic than the playground?
