A mother in the US who equipped her daughter with a hidden digital recorder at school to catch alleged incidents of bullying has been charged by police and faces five years in jail.

Sarah Sims is accused of wrongfully using the device to intercept oral communication. 

She is also accused of “contributing towards the delinquency of a minor”.

She said she took the action because her daughter’s school did not address repeated complaints about bullying.
