Kerry said: “She’s such a quiet, shy girl and she’s never been in any trouble at school before.

“She’s absolutely devastated at what’s happened. I could understand it if she had died her eyebrows pink or something, but they are just a little bit darker than usual.”

“Aimee’s natural eyebrows are a pure white and she is very self-conscious about them.

“The eyebrow tinting has given her a real confidence boost and it has really helped with her self-esteem."

Here are just some of the reactions to the story:

"If there are rules it’s simple! Abide by them and we don’t need to have these stupid stories."These people aren’t victims they have gone against school rules and have been punished for it, it’s teaching them a valuable lesson on respect and doing as one is told, the parents arguing against these rules are adding petrol to the fire and teaching their children to disrespect rules and their peers, shame on you!"Chris Jackson

"Problem being self entitled parents who think they and their precious are above rules."I work in an office that has standards of dress, I follow the rules, get paid, end of problem."Al Westam

"Poor girl had been bullied as a result of her eyebrows being white, she's tinted them a natural colour, surely we should be promoting a child's self confidence not demoting it, I used concealer for my bad acne at school a male PE teacher forced me to scrub my face with a nail brush to remove it, was that right?"Marie Dixon

"So kids can’t express themselves - and get put in isolation as punishment! "I’m all for rules - and uniform, but some of these schools are like institutions ‍?? "Want to control all aspects of a child’s life and what they can/can’t do! "What does tinted eyebrows have to do with learning ability? "Maybe the rules schools put in place for kids, should also be followed by the teachers and staff?"Kelly Reeves
