Parents of British bulldogs victim call for ban on game Mr James, 42, said: "I hope our daughter's death will lead to a more widespread ban." The businessman, who runs a cabinet making firm, described his daughter as "an Angel loved by everybody" in the days after her death. Speaking on Friday, he said: "When you go through the sequence of events, you've got a boy running at high speed in a crowded playground and you've got a wooden sleeper serving no purpose. Freya was also made to walk five or six metres to a first aid room, despite holding her abdomen when teachers found her on the ground. We need to know if that caused more serious damage. There are a lot of questions that need answering. The family claim staff at Trafalgar Junior School in Twickenham have never apologised or accepted responsibility for the accident. In a statement in February, the family said: "She was a bundle of energy from the time she woke up to the time she went to bed. She was so strong and determined in everything she did and always tried to help those that struggled. Our princess has gone but we know her spirit and her memories will always be with us. Our lives have been absolutely shattered. Our hearts, bodies and souls are aching constantly and we are left with scars that will never heal. Dean Rogers, chairman of governors at the school, said: "This has been a horrendously difficult period for the staff as well as the children at the school. But we still couldn't possibly comprehend what it has been like for Nick and Anekke. We understand they feel angry and need answers and the inquest will hopefully give them those. Ahead of the hearing, it would be inappropriate to comment further. Headmaster Neil Meehan said after the accident: "Our thoughts are with the parents and family of the pupil during this very sad time and we are working with educational psychologists to support pupils and staff at the school as necessary."
