A boy who stabbed his teacher four times with a knife had been bullied by other pupils, his family say.
The boy, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, stabbed Te Puke High School maths teacher Steve Hose in the back of the neck and shoulder on Monday shortly after class began at 11am.
He is in custody at a secure Child, Youth and Family residential placement facility in Auckland.
