:00:14. > :00:18.ended in tragedy. Wide -- and why it and eight-year-old boy drowned
:00:18. > :00:25.during a family picnic. We talk to the teacher sacked for
:00:25. > :00:29.writing a racy novel about her pupils. Truancy, smoking. Drugs,
:00:29. > :00:33.those sorts of things. They affect our teenagers these days. I wanted
:00:33. > :00:37.the story to feel real. The Great Yorkshire Show gets the
:00:37. > :00:44.royal seal of approval as the Cornwalls pay a visit.
:00:44. > :00:54.Skies were fairly cloudy when these shots were taken. More in the way

:00:58. > :01:02.Good evening. A teenage boy described the moment he let go of
:01:03. > :01:07.his brother's hand and watch him fall into the river at Bolton Abbey.
:01:07. > :01:13.Joshua Page saw his brother Aaron drowned on his eighth birthday last
:01:13. > :01:15.June, pulled into the Wharfe by strong currents. His parents said
:01:15. > :01:20.Families needed to be vigilant of the dangers of water and that they
:01:20. > :01:26.had paid a terrible price. Aaron Page died on his eighth
:01:26. > :01:30.birthday. He had gone to Bolton Abbey with his family to celebrate.
:01:30. > :01:34.Less than an hour after they arrived, he was missing. Because he
:01:34. > :01:39.could not turn, his parents told him to stay away from the water,
:01:39. > :01:44.but standing on some rocks, he lost his footing and fell into the
:01:44. > :01:49.Wharfe. His family with members of the public health emergency
:01:49. > :01:52.services look for him, but his body was recovered three hours later. At
:01:52. > :01:56.its two day inquest in Skipton which finished today, the court
:01:56. > :02:01.head evidence from his brother Joshua, who had been holding
:02:01. > :02:08.Aaron's and when he fell. The 14- year-old told the coroner he walked
:02:08. > :02:13.in and sit, and I tried to pull him out but I let go when he fell. The
:02:13. > :02:16.coroner reassured to show where the accident was not his fault. A
:02:16. > :02:22.verdict of accidental death was recorded. His family had this
:02:22. > :02:26.warning. You got to be more vigilant. We will take more care
:02:26. > :02:31.over what we are doing in future, and take more notice of warning
:02:31. > :02:37.signs. They are there for a reason. We felt do that and paid a serious
:02:37. > :02:40.price. On a fine day, the Bolton Abbey estate is a hugely popular
:02:40. > :02:45.destination for families, but the Wharfe has a reputation for being a
:02:45. > :02:49.dangerous river. In the warm weather, the water may look
:02:49. > :02:53.appealing, but expects say in places it is very deep and the
:02:53. > :02:59.current is strong. Six people have lost their lives through playing in
:02:59. > :03:05.or alongside the River Wharfe in the past 14 years. In 1997, one
:03:05. > :03:11.little girl from Leeds died while also celebrating her 8th birthday.
:03:11. > :03:16.Police demanded that are some very dangerous areas. The River Wharfe,
:03:16. > :03:21.as are other waterways, is cold and even strong to Ms can get into
:03:21. > :03:25.difficulty. The coroner said there were sufficient danger signs in the
:03:25. > :03:30.area, and that Alan's death was a tragic accident. The Bolton Abbey
:03:30. > :03:36.estate is looking at increasing the number of warning signs and
:03:36. > :03:40.information science they have -- information signs that they have.
:03:40. > :03:44.A teacher who was sacked for writing a racy novel about her
:03:44. > :03:48.pupils which ended up on the internet is publishing the book
:03:48. > :03:53.which got her into trouble. Leonora Rustamova or says she read
:03:53. > :03:57.the story to encourage a class of disaffected boys to read and write.
:03:57. > :04:00.But the book described -- the book described teenage fantasies, used
:04:00. > :04:05.swear words and their teachers. The school said it was an appropriate
:04:05. > :04:09.and the children should not have been named. We will be talking to
:04:09. > :04:13.Leonora, or Miss Rusty, as she is known. Sally Young has been to find
:04:13. > :04:18.out what happened to the boys who featured in the book.
:04:18. > :04:23.She was an English teacher for 12 years. Today, Leonora Rustamova is
:04:23. > :04:31.unemployed. She wrote a story for a class of boys who were notoriously
:04:31. > :04:36.difficult to teach. She was sacked from her job at Calder High School
:04:36. > :04:44.after it ended up on the Internet. Two years on, she is in contact
:04:44. > :04:50.with the boys who featured in her novel. Travis runs a music venue.
:04:50. > :04:55.He must have mannitol blood in him to be so stacked at 16. She was one
:04:55. > :05:01.of the few teachers that would listen to you. He comes in like a
:05:01. > :05:07.stranger into the saloon. When he comes in a chain down, you can
:05:07. > :05:14.expect their list of swear words. I have calmed down a lot. I have
:05:14. > :05:19.lost a lot of anger. I am better with the authority. This is Martin.
:05:19. > :05:26.He is training to be a car mechanic and he competes in professional
:05:26. > :05:30.Thai boxing matches. I left Martin to last. He acts like he is
:05:30. > :05:35.slipping in after everyone else. You would never miss him in a crowd.
:05:35. > :05:40.A lot of the teachers hated us as a group. It was good to get into that
:05:40. > :05:44.English group and do something productive. We wasted the last two
:05:44. > :05:50.years of school. You have to be sure of yourself to love Martin
:05:50. > :05:54.easily. He looks at you Nike has not a scrap of warmth for you. It
:05:54. > :06:00.feels like you bet they when he cracks you a smile. I am the same
:06:00. > :06:10.person but more mature and more outgoing. It has brought us all
:06:10. > :06:10.
:06:10. > :06:16.along. We have become more friends. A new pride to be in it? Definitely.
:06:16. > :06:19.Especially to be the main character. Leonora lost her unfair dismissal
:06:19. > :06:25.claim against Calder High School, after they argued that the school
:06:25. > :06:31.had been brought into disrepute. Publishing the book now is their
:06:31. > :06:37.way of fighting back against the criticism.
:06:37. > :06:43.Thank-you. Leonora is with us now. The book has a swear words,
:06:43. > :06:46.references to drug use and sex. Too far? It was fully approved as a
:06:46. > :06:50.project inside school. It was not meant to be published on the
:06:50. > :06:54.internet, but as a project in school, I do not think it was going
:06:54. > :06:59.too far. He say it was just meant to be a
:06:59. > :07:05.school thing, not on the internet. You have published it now for real.
:07:05. > :07:08.I have. It was the boy's idea. At the role the trouble that was
:07:08. > :07:12.caused with the sacking, they thought if it was published, it
:07:12. > :07:18.would prove that neither they nor their parents had any problem with
:07:18. > :07:21.their names being him there. I am going to stop you there. We had an
:07:21. > :07:29.e-mail from 11 month saying that she broke her trust by naming her
:07:29. > :07:33.son. She did not want that. -- we had an e-mail from a woman. I am
:07:33. > :07:40.surprised about that. All the names of the students Astle in the book
:07:40. > :07:48.and they have all given consult -- given consent. You lost your job.
:07:48. > :07:52.Was it worth it? Teaching jobs are hard to come by. It was terrible. I
:07:52. > :07:59.have no reason to suspect I was doing something that would cost me
:07:59. > :08:06.that situation. It is one of those things. Life throws these things
:08:06. > :08:15.achoo achoo have to try and turn it round a positive way. Why did you
:08:15. > :08:21.use the Bill names? The legacy you have left is a controversial book.
:08:21. > :08:25.We form a partnership in publishing the book. Some people might say
:08:25. > :08:30.what you have done now is another step too far. It was not intended
:08:30. > :08:39.to be published on the Internet. It was accidental that it appeared on
:08:39. > :08:43.the internet. He will not naive. You know things go on websites.

:08:56. > :09:05.appeal against a tribunal decision? Yes, the appeal is in. The judge
:09:05. > :09:10.thought it was an unfair dismissal. The judge was voted against.
:09:10. > :09:20.think it is really interesting that on a book cover, you were the one
:09:20. > :09:20.
:09:20. > :09:27.with a blindfold, and the boys were named. I suppose I am blindfolded
:09:27. > :09:31.because I was silenced while I was being sacked. It created an air of
:09:31. > :09:36.mystery. I suppose that is a representation of that. I am there
:09:36. > :09:39.on the back. Thank you very much. Was it engaging teaching or
:09:39. > :09:49.inappropriate? You can post a Commons and our

:09:50. > :09:56.Facebook page. You can send us an e-mail. Quite a lot of parents at
:09:56. > :10:03.the school did support Leonora at the time. Would you have? You can
:10:03. > :10:10.contact us on Twitter. Later on: The Apprentice is looking

:10:51. > :10:55.The council ought to be ashamed of themselves. He lives in a sheltered
