Parents demand action against school bullying

“They closed the case without an investigation and this is how it was opened again after I wrote to the Ministers of Police and Justice.”

“This case should be used as an example where things are swept under the carpet.

“These girls were not given support because the learner was found guilty of misconduct during the disciplinary hearings but he came back to school and continued his alleged racial slurs.

“We need to start criminally charging schools for negligence due to what is happening with our children and even principals should face arrest.

“The allegations were of such a serious nature, they were supposed to react immediately but there is no prevention.”

Bronagh Hammond of the WCED confirmed that the matter went through a disciplinary hearing in which the male learner was found guilty.

“It is not clear if the ‘new case’ relates to the allegations from last year, or if there are any new allegations not directly linked to the school as there have been no incidents reported lately,” she explained.
