Parents withdraw children from Dixons Academy in Liverpool due to strict, "borstal-like" rules.

Parents have withdrawn children from Dixons Academy in Liverpool due to strict, "borstal-like" rules that they claim "mentally torture" their kids. Parents say their children were punished for hugging friends, not lifting their hands high enough, and in one case, a student was given detention for a phone alert about their unwell mom. The school previously made headlines for suggesting truants were more likely to engage in early sex and drug use.
