Two lives destroyed

Dear Editor,

It remains puzzling a fourteen year old secondary school student allegedly from a school. out of the area, would pick on and ‘torment’ an eleven year old primary school student, according to reports, (GDN Nov 29) resulting in dire consequences. Did the fourteen year old pick on the eleven year old to show and prove his supremacy? Or did he have a mind of an eleven year old? What are the protocols to be followed by the school’s administration in matters such as this?  Does it include sending an injured child home alone? Two lives destroyed by a foolish act.  My condolences to the grieving family. 

Sincerely,

Shamshun Mohamed
