A nursery teacher has resigned after posting pictures of her son dressed as a paramilitary soldier on her public Twitter page.

Catherine Forrest uploaded snaps of the boy in camouflage clothes, gloves and a balaclava, clutching a toy gun. One picture of him with the plastic Armalite-style weapon was captioned “My wee Volunteer”.

In another pic, which showed the child with an adult male also wearing a balaclava, the lad was pointing the gun at the camera.

Forrest captioned that picture with crying face laughing emojis. The images were uploaded to Twitter on Sunday. At the time she posted the pictures, Forrest was on a placement at the nursery which is part of Our Lady and St Joseph’s Primary School in Glenboig, Lanarkshire.
