Katona fined over child's school absence

Kerry Katona had previously told the court she would represent herself at her trial but a guilty plea was entered in her absenceThe former member of Atomic Kitten had previously denied the charge but her solicitor entered a guilty plea on her behalf at Brighton Magistrates' Court.

But Ed Fish, defending, said work commitments meant she sometimes had to take the child to work with her. The court was told Katona had failed to send the child - one of five, who cannot be named - to school for on a"significant" number of days between April and November last year.

Wow how rough does she look, probably just forgot she had kids?

Zzzzz lister

She realize tey don’t need education to become famous like mother so they don’t lose nothing specially with uk 🇬🇧 education which is 30th a n the world even behind Bangladesh 🇧🇩 so worth £500 great spend

How hard can it be to find a nanny in Suffolk?

Children learn far more from going on holiday than staying in school in any given time. Vast amounts of school contact time are not used for learning at all. This is all about enforcing state control. Totalitarianism is on the march.

There's a father that has parental responsibility too. Where's he?

48% attendance is shameful. Should have fined her more.

Judiciary in UK is an absolutely disgrace...

She’s a total scrote 👎

No surprise there then chav

Irresponsible piece of low life take the kids away she is a waste of free air

See that the 'mother of the year' has been doing her best to win that award again. I can't stand her

She never went clearly, so why expect her to send her kids!

Put her in jail.

Should a said the child was at a climate Armageddon protest, problem sorted.

What the hell has that got to do with Brighton Magistrates' Court, and how exactly do they justify stealing her money?

Did not know she was news any more! Must have a book coming up

What about those climate strike kids on Fridays, hope Tarquin and Cressida’s mummy and pappy are being fined, well once they get back from they’re fifth long haul of the year.

💭 absolute joke, shouldn't be anything to do with any Authority it should be a Parents decision!

The personification of a chip butty...

And this story became a national news?

Rough as a badgers

Yet tgeir talking about removing kids for not being vaccinated ,go figure .

Good

Sure they didn't pay her 500 to keep it away?

No exceptions

Still cheaper than booking in the school holidays

Hasn’t she been skint for that’s fuck knows how many years ?!? Oh I forgot some red top editor will be paying

Where does the money go? And then how is it distributed?

Will all the hot earthers that let kids skive off school for protests get the same ?

The article says £425 The headline says £500 BBC news cannot be trusted at all ,ever ,Not even over a poxy little story about an ex celebrity.

She'll still win'Mother of the year,' again.

Irresponsible mother.

I am more concerned about the thousands of pounds some cretin is paid on a monthly basis to report this kind of trash as though it were news. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. Pathetic.

But Mr Fish told the court some of the unauthorised absences were because Katona could not get childcare while working. Kerry Katone couldn't get childcare while working - tosh!

Put the child into care.

Schools are war zones nowadays stabbings suicides bullying measles meningitis better off home schooled

hold on it was reported as £1,000 fine earlier. why has she had £500 knocked off?

We might be a generation too late to this.

I see so many kids hanging around in town centres in the middle of the day. Are all those parents being fined £500 too, or is it just Kerry?

What is it £500 or £1000. ?

She went to Iceland instead

Does she deserve the fine?
