A child with special educational needs was left vulnerable to drug dealers because of failings by Devon County Council, his mother claims.
The family won a tribunal against the council after it had previously placed her son in a mainstream secondary school - against the advice of Stacey and a child psychologist, which his mother said led to him being severely bullied. She said on one occasion he was taken to a drug dealer's house and given drugs including cocaine and cannabis.
He went to live with his father outside of Devon, but Stacey said armed dealers turned up at his house looking for money.But Stacey said that "from then on [after the armed incident], we started having cameras around the house so we could watch the area a little bit more".
