Kids, violence, and conversation
The Freeman
|February 27, 2026
Incidents involving violence and kids don't seem to be as "isolated" as they used to be.
-
There were at least two incidents this month. The first happened last February 10 when a 15-year-old student was killed after he was stabbed by a fellow Grade 10 student in Baseco, Manila.
CCTV footage shows the 16-year-old suspect waiting for the victim then stabbing him during a fight.
The second happened last February 17 also involving a 15-year-old victim and a 16-year-old assailant, this time in Floridablanca, Pampanga.
This story is from the February 27, 2026 edition of The Freeman.
