Amit Singh Kalley talks to David Breakspear, somebody who was expelled from school and had various stints in prison. David was sexually abused as a child and displayed challenging behaviour at school. Rather than those around him trying to understand the whole child, David was labelled as a difficult kid and expelled from school. We discuss how his life spiraled out of control and how he now uses his lived experience to fight for justice for students who have behavioural issues at school. We also discuss what parents can do if they have a child who has been labelled as difficult or challenging to ensure they don't follow the same path that he did.
