Liam Scholes dressed up as Christian Grey.Are cable ties more dangerous than carrying toy guns to school, wonders a teenager's mother who was asked to change his costume.Liam Scholes, 11, was mocked by school teachers for dressing up as Fifty Shades of Grey character Christian Grey for World Book Day at school.
The 11-year-old boy wore a grey suit and carried some cable ties along with his mother's eye mask to look like the character.
But he was told by the teachers at Sale High School in Northern England to change and they decided to exclude his picture from the World Book Day photograph calling it 'inappropriate.'
A still from the movie Fifty Shades of Grey featuring Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan.Speaking to BBC, Liam's mother said it was his decision to look mature and not like a cartoon character.
"He chose 50 Shades of Grey as he is the most talked about character and what's the harm in it," Liam's mother told BBC.
When asked whether he has read the book, she said no.
Justifying his son, the mother said that the film follows the book, lots of kids follow movie characters. If kids can dress up like American Sniper, James Bond and carry a toy gun to school, then what's the harm is just dressing up like Christian Grey.
Well, we need to understand if sex is more offensive than criminals.
