    The media has a habit of transforming one thing into something else, I suspect that this is the case here and the story is presented in such a way as to make it newsworthy when it probably was totally benign.

    A recent story about a school local to where I work made the news with the headline
    Children left to freeze in the classrooms after head turns off heating on coldest day of year 'to show how school can be eco-friendly'
    The true story is reported by the staff and pupils in the comments section. Apparently it was no where near the coldest day, no complaints were made and the whole thing was seen as a successful demonstration, but that wouldn't have been news worthy would it.
    Regards
