By Lucy Caulkett-
An Essex father jailed for 8 weeks after it emerged that none of his three daughters went to school for a year, has injured his daughter, the eye of media.com can reveal.
Eddie Williams, 53, acted so negligently that he burnt the tongue of his eldest daughter , Chantelle Pollie after she used a spoon with acid in it. 18-year-old Chantelle had to be rushed to Southend hospital to treat her badly burnt tongue, resulting from the lethal mistake. Chantelle was not one of the daughters, whose absence from school sent her parents to jail since she studies hairdressing at college.
Williams appeared in 4 national newspapers, after being sent to jail, immediately after his wife, Chantelle, had returned from serving her own 8 weeks sentence for allowing all three of their children to avoid missing school for a year. Eye of media.com has been keeping an eye on one of Britain’s worst families, following an anonymous tip from one of their neighbours- a regular reader of our site. The female neighbour, who lives a few doors away, told the eye of media .com
” these lots are a nightmare. We have heard shouting at all hours of the day and night in the past, doors are slammed hard, voices are raised at odd hours of the night, they are a nightmare.! When I read in the papers that the parents had both been jailed because the kids did not attend school, I thought you guys might like this story”, she said. ‘‘I think you guys are very good with interesting topics, I particularly love the way you are prepared to explore different approaches to various topics, the lady who insisted on anonymity, told the eye of media.com.” That lot need help, they are a bunch of theatrical uni’s, keep an eye on them, she said.

AGONY
The eye of media.com heard that Chantelle screamed in agony, following the burn, and sustained a visible mark running across her tongue, also seen by the eye of media.com. However, by all accounts, it was a genuine accident. An accident that evidences an alarming level of recklessness on the part of Williams, which should not have occurred. Two of the rebel daughters have started to attend school at Cecil Jones, where one of them is said to be settling down well in school. However, the younger of the two girls, at 14, has still posed some difficulty, by turning up to school in jeans at times instead of the prescribed school uniform outfit. The latest struggle with her teachers is the rule that she does not turn up with long painted nails- something the stubborn child has insisted on doing.
Head of Cecil Jones told the eye of media.com she(name withheld) has been attending school more regularly these days, but we have had issues with her insistence on turning up in trousers instead of her school uniform. When children disobey they rules, we put them in isolation, or on some occasions send them home”. Children need punishment and discipline but isolation may not be the answer for a child who has missed school for a whole year. Whilst in isolation, she is missing further education. However, there may be no clear solution for dealing with a child who simply will not follow instructions at home or at school.
The eye of media.com spent two hours with the family, to assess their interactions and attitudes. Exhibiting a strong bond amongst themselves, the sisters are attractive siblings always interacting playfully with one another. Yet, one alarming observation is the visible lack of respect they show their mother, who is incapable of controlling her teenagers. Her eldest daughter, Shannon Pollie called her mother a fxxxxxx idiot in the presence of the eye of media.com, despite being fully aware our presence was under the capacity of an online media investigation. The use of foul language runs freely in this household, their 35-year-old mother having no control.

DEJECTED
A dejected Chantelle Pollie told the eye of media.com ” it’s sad, there isn’t much I can do to control them. They kick off big style when I try and put my foot down. I have got tough on them lately when they don’t want to go school. Where before I would give in, this time, I am like , you’ve to go to go, you’ve got to go, I don’t let them have their way. They’ve seen their father treat me like sxxx, that’s why they act this way. Wiping back tears, she said ” I am very embarrassed, I can’t believe they would show me up like this”. The girls have a lot of fun together, with plenty of giggling, as they toy with their mobile phones. However, in the event of any word they don’t like from their mother, and the volume of their voices goes up with offensive language coming out of it.
The eye of media.com has promised to periodically visit this family and contribute our ideas and voices to putting it right. Christine and her 14-year-old daughter have agreed to keep us updated with her progress sin school, and attend weekly tuition classes we have agreed to arrange for her from next week.
