Bullying results in serious incident at school
PARAMARIBO – A 13-year-old student who was constantly bullied at school could not take it anymore and jumped off the school building last Tuesday. The officers from the Livorno Police Department immediately called the ambulance service after having received the call. The student reportedly fainted but did not sustain serious injuries. Paramedics nevertheless decided to take the teenager to the hospital for further treatment. During the course of the investigation the police found out that the student was often being bullied but that the management team at the school did very little to tackle the problem. The police went to the student’s father to talk to him about what had happened and to advise him to take his child to the psychologist as soon as possible. Reports indicate that the police will remain in contact with the teenager’s father. The police will also stay in contact with the management team to determine the appropriate measures against children who bully others. Parents are being urged to teach their children not to bully others because bullying could have serious consequences.
