I AM a mother of two who is sick of her children coming home with head lice.

The school say that they can't do anything about it but it is costing me a lot of money trying to keep on top of the problem, what with all the lotions and washing the bedding.

I am writing this letter to help make other parents aware of the problem and maybe even set up a petition or poll to get nurses back into the schools.

In my opinion it is more abusive to let children sit scratching all day, than to have letters sent home. Please help.
