Summary:
Peter Harvey was arrested after an unusual incident took place at the All Saints Roman Catholic School in Mansfield. The 49 year old science teacher has been charged for the attempted murder of a fourteen year old student at the school. Police say that the incident probably took place at the school in Broomhill lane on last Wednesday. Currently Peter Harvey is being held in custody. The injured fourteen year old boy was taken to King´s Mill Hospital but he was then later transferred to Queen´s Medical Centre in Nottingham. It was there where his condition was described as serious but stable.

Reaction:
This is a sick story. A teacher is someone children should be able to trust and that trust must not be abused by crazy people like this man. I do not know what has driven this man to act in such a way. And I guess I will also not know why he has chosen this boy specifically as his victim. Crimes like this, especially against children turn my stomach. There is no excuse for what Peter Harvey has done. I cannot imagine how the child´s parents must feel at a moment like this. My heart goes out to them.
