Parents Dare to Speak in WhatsApp Group—Get Arrested Like International Criminals

Once upon a very British nightmare, two parents in Borehamwood found out the hard way that sharing your thoughts in a WhatsApp group is apparently a national security threat.

Maxie Allen and Rosalind Levine had the audacity—the sheer nerve—to raise questions about their kid’s school hiring a new headteacher. But instead of the usual passive-aggressive PTA blowback, the school decided to call in the actual police.

Yep. Six uniformed officers showed up at their home like they were busting an underground crime ring. Sirens, cuffs, the works. Their offense? Daring to ask, “Hey, is this hiring process a bit dodgy?” in a private group chat with other parents.

The couple was interrogated for 11 hours like they were plotting a coup. Meanwhile, their daughter—who has epilepsy and is neurodivergent—was left without her main support system at school. Because nothing says “child safety” like kicking out her caregivers during an administrative hissy fit.

After five weeks of investigation and zero charges, the police presumably shrugged and said, “Our bad,” before quietly walking away like nothing happened.

Now, the couple is speaking out, and suddenly the school’s leadership is quieter than a librarian during finals week. Officials are “looking into it,” which in British bureaucracy translates to “hope this dies down by next week.”
