Mom claims son badly injured by school bully; Blasts RVIPF for slow response - Told Tola Radio the bully used knives, brass knuckles & broken bottles to attack her son
FAT HOGS BAY, Tortola, VI - A distraught caller on ‘Da Morning Braff’ radio show with host Floyd Burnett on Tola Radio 100.5FM has complained bitterly about the handling by the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) of an alleged bullying incident involving her son and another student who both attend a local school.
The mother, who has also taken to social media for more traction, has claimed that following persistent bullying with weapons such as knives, brass knuckles and broken bottles, the matter was raised with the police who she claimed has been dragging their feet on the matter.
She also alleged there is a video circulating of her son being attacked by the bully.
Bullying in school
“My son has been going through a lot in school. I always try to teach them don't get in any violence because I normally see a lot of fights going around and I always warn them against that. So, every day they go to school I normally warn them against that.”
The mom continued, “It's been overbearing because this situation happening from since last term. Last time he was injured they actually had burst his head... I did medical and all of this with my son.”
The woman said she has been disappointed with the police’s handling of the matter, as she claimed officers have been slothful in ther duties.
“Last time it was the same thing because I've been waiting. I make my report, I did my medical, I sit in a police station for hours, did everything right, and I've been waiting and waiting and waiting. Nobody got back to me until one day they didn’t even inform me that there were going to the school. They just randomly called me and told me that they at the school if I can now,” she added.
The mother said while could not go to the school, an agreement was made between the parties that the bullying and harassment of her son would end.
