If a child needs to use the bathroom and makes this need clear to a teacher or administrator and this request is denied, this is abuse, and unlawful. If the child uses this request unreasonably in order to seek attention or simply to leave class, the problem becomes complicated. Those in authority need to balance their responses; it is safest to allow the child to go to the bathroom; you have no way of knowing how urgent and necessary the situation is, and to deny a child access to the bathroom is not a good thing to do.

Depends on the situation really. If he child has been denied a restroom break all day then, yes, it is illegal because it is bad for anyone not to use the restroom. However, if the child was denied a restroom break until the teacher is done with their lecture then no. The teacher also has the right to deny a child a bathroom break if they just went, not for long because depending on the age the child could wet themselves which is not good for anyone. If this is the first time this has happened I would set up a conference with the teacher and if it continues talk to the principal.

Yes. The school have a obligation to see to that there are toilets in the first place and also to prevent bullying and harassment which it would be if someone kept a child from using the bathroom.

Is it rude to use the bathroom at school?

No, it isn't particularly rude if you really need to go. Going to the restroom when you don't have to relieve yourself or wash your hands can be rude. It can disturb others, and the teacher has to worry. It is always best to tend to all your personal needs at home, and use the restroom at school during emergencies and designated times.

No! Not ditching school is the child's judgment, and prosecuting the parent of the child has absolutely no effect on the child. If the child is going to skip school, the child should be punished.
