Mom claims son badly injured by school bully; Blasts RVIPF for slow response
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.
Police stepped into previous matter
“The police warned the young man and they agreed that would have been it, so I felt that that was it, until this term. It started the first day my son attend school this term. The video started to circulate again. And the young man feel like he should have won the fight. He feel like he didn't get the upper hand on my son, so the whole incident start back up again,” she said.
The mother said with the harassment happening again, the incident was once more reported to the police, since there were incidents where the bully was armed with brass knuckles and a knife.
She said her son was attacked once more, which resulted in bodily swelling and a trip to the hospital.
“That's still not enough, I guess. The friend of this child [bully] decided he wanted to take things up in his hand and he decided that he's going to harass him,” she added.
Son no longer feels safe - Distraught mom
According to the mother, her son no longer feels safe at school and because they live nearby, he also feels unsafe about walking home.
She said she is now forced to make arrangements to have her son picked up by an adult.
According to the mother, the RVIPF has now been dragging its feet on the matter even as the bully is actively pursuing her child and she allegedly reported the incident since September to the police.
“Every day I call the police station I feel like I am a bother to them, that’s the impression I am getting as a parent,” the distraught mother said.
She has since taken to social media to share her disturbing story.
There are unconfirmed reports that the alleged bully has since been arrested by police.

It is very sad that this mother and her son have to deal with this. The way some of these young boys behave at a young age says alot about their future. The Ake** boy from st.kitts who live country is very ignorant and was always getting in fights at the same school and was caught with brass knuckles and a knife, and look at his current situation; he never finished 2nd form and is now wondering around the place on a bike dealing _ _ _ _ _ . Majority of bullies have no type of a bright future.
I can bet you that whomever the bully is that there is trouble in his household. He is either being/has been abused, seeing someone in his house being abused or is neglected by his parents and acting out on the lady’s son. I hope they find help for this bully real fast. Imagine the kind of monsters some household are producing.
They start from small.
It has been my confirmed belief that the VI has little ,if any regard for their children and for their elderly.
I am moved to tears reading this series of events .
This parent ,unfortunately, will get little or no redress. Her son' s life is in danger.
I have no words. A curse on those perpetrating , those aiding in the unrelenting persecution by ignoring and by turning a blind eye.
The bully's parents as well as the bully should be arrested. Can you even imagine this poor victim fearing for his life every day? How in the hell is he supposed to get an education when he cannot concentrate in school? This bully needs some serious b***s on his mu*** sc****. This is considered torture, assault, grievous bodily harm, harassment, mental anguish, fear for his life, and the bully and his family just get to sit at home peacefully. Before this damn bully kills her son, I would take him out and home-school him until this blatantly attempted murderer gets the punishment he deserves! WTF kind of Police are these?????? What kind of animal get pure pleasure out of torturing someone? This bully has some serious mental problems and should NOT be allowed back into the school system. Let the bully's parents keep him home to be home schooled to keep the other students safe. This is total BULLS***!
To have your child being bullied at school is not nice situation.
i wish a boy child would !!!!!! i would be up in that school the following day and i h****g them myself !! Not my kid eh
October 24th -28th is Anti Bullying Week here in the BVI, the assigned color is Green, my people let rally as a community to paint the town green. Lets stand with this young man and all the other students who may be dealing with this and is afraid to speak up. Let us show them that they are not alone. I applaud you mom for shariing your story.
What is your child was killed by these bullies or even worse this could mess up your child self esteem on a massive level.
This has to stop no matter what.
Complaining to the leaders of the institution is a waste of time. Their fix it all is suspension after which the bullies return with a fury and the victims are either scared stiff or trying to figure out how to protect themselves. They suspend the guilty victim then maybe some of the perps.
The school, the Department of Education, the Ministry simply do not have a clue how to deal with these misbehaving students. All the professional workshops they hold are a waste of time if they do not train personnel to deal with conflict. I took the easy way out but I pray day and night for those bullies that are being cultivated and nurtured at that school. I pray for them to change before it is too late. It seems as if there will be no proper intervention until a parent is called with the dreadful news that their child has been killed or seriously maimed at that institution. All the rebuking in the world will not help this situation if the powers that be do not wake up and smell the coffee.
I have personally spoken to an elected representative about having police presence at the institution and was told that they do not want police on the campus. However, they want security guards who interact with the students and who are sometimes in danger themselves. Why do we always have to be reactive, why do we always claim to be resilient when something happens. If we are proactive instead of reactive then we would not have to cling to the word resilient when we fail to prevent ill wills.
For once, let us do what is necessary to protect our future.
Get these bullies out of the institution that is supposed to be for children who want to be educated, want to learn. Let us rid the institution of those who do not want to learn and give our willing to learn children a fair chance to do so.
Even 'some' teachers are bullies too, sadly.
Maybe you need to take a swing at the inactive discipline going on at ESHS by the school administration.
It is amazing how so many person believes her side so easily. Ma’am you are now being the bully and causing a breach in the peace with your foolish outcry.
Many of you want answers and action instantly but don’t start it at home.
