told off

She was once told off for asking to learn Mandarin.

She said: "He was coming home absolutely exhausted because he was holding all his tics in because he didn't want to do them in school - because he'd get told off".

"I felt like I was being told off," Celyn recalled of one conversation with another officer.

He thought he was going to be told off, but the head master invited the press, and Mr Bostock said he was "a celebrity for the week".

He said: "I was scared of being told off by the police."
