Chad Bryan, Staff Reporter
An 11-year-old youngster received 15 stitches to his face last Thursday, after he was allegedly cut in his face by a classmate after they were involved in a dispute at their primary school in Westmoreland.
The mother of the injured child recounted that her son was in class when he went to the blackboard to do a sum, after another child in the class had got the math wrong.
She said her son got up and on his way to the blackboard a student put out his foot which caused him to stumble. This led to both boys shoving each other in the classroom.
“Teacher part them. He told my son, boy watch me and you when is go home time,” she said.
The child’s mother said it was not until school ended that evening that the child, believed to be a troublemaker, sliced her son in the face.
“It is a nasty, nasty cut. It starts from way up in his hair come down to his nose,” she said.
“Some say they were going to beat him and others say they were going to hit him in the back with a stone,” she said of the offending child.
The mother pointed out further that the troublemaker child had been in another squabble with a female student, following this incident. According to the woman, the boy was walking around with a blade claiming he was going to stab a female student.
“Him and the girl had a fight where he kicked down the girl and hit her cross her stomach with a broomstick,” she said.
The guardian of the child offered to compensate the woman; however, the mother was more concerned with the wound her son was suffering from.
The Westmoreland police have confirmed that an incident involving the two students had happened.
