By on March 30, 2005

An eight-year-old boy wanted to kill himself after alleged bullying by teachers at his public school in NSW's southern highlands, his parents said.

The NSW opposition, who made the claims public today, said two teachers constantly humiliated the boy – who has a mild form of autism called Asperger's Syndrome – over a period of three years.
