MYSTERIOUS ARCHIE

367

'Archie was excluded from school for 2 or 3 years and then we had lockdown from March 2020 so no children went to school for a year (although I don't know if the exclusion and lockdown overlapped). 

'It would have been difficult for Archie to maintain a wide circle of school friends if he wasn't attending. 

'If his Mothers xxx work activities were well known on the estate he lived on then the local kids probably wouldn't have played with him (a kid with ADHD who is handy with his fists) and parents wouldn't want their children associating or visiting his house. 

'Last time I looked the school gate memorial with the mass of purple ribbons looked like it was created by a handful of people and there are no messages from any of the local school kids.'
