A MUM has caused a stir online after claiming that her daughter’s legs were duct-taped at school because she was wearing ripped jeans.

Shanah Drummond’s teenage daughter had rips on the thighs of her jeans, which she shared the school deemed inappropriate.

Teachers allegedly went on to cover her exposed skin with duct tape before she called her mum asking for help.

Shanah shared her experience on TikTok - including what her daughter’s legs looked like and how she dealt with the issue at the school

The angry mum recorded herself walking into the school and can be heard asking her daughter, “who was it?”
