Parents in Denmark after furious after a teacher, brandishing a pair of scissors, made their seven-year-old boys strip down to their underwear and threatened to cut their penises off.

The incident took place at Strandmølle School in Assens, western Funen, in Decemeber, when the two boys forgot to bring Santa hats in for a Christmas party.

There are also reports that the children were ordered to climb into bin bags, in front of the whole school.

Thomas Hald, the school’s deputy chairman of the board, said: ‘It is correct that it happened and that this type of humour is something that we on the board naturally do not condone.’




He went on to say that the teacher has apologised, and that matter is closed.

The parents, however, understandably feel differently, and complained to a child protection group, who urged them to contact the police.

A local police confirmed to the Mail Online that they had received a complaint and were investigating it.
