Lawyer protests attack on son
Attorney-at-Law Gary Ramlochan is calling for drastic measures to be taken against the boy whom he says maliciously wounded his 15-year-old son with the intention of causing him grievous bodily harm.
The man explained that the distal portion of his son’s left thumb was severed, during what he says was not a confrontational incident.

“My son told me that he was seated in class and the Mathematics period had just come to an end. After his Maths teacher left, he and his classmates were getting ready for the next class. He had just about finished packing his bag when suddenly; he was startled by being attacked with a knife which severed the distal portion of his left thumb”, Ramlochan explained.
He added that a teacher from the child’s school revealed to him that his son’s attacker is the class bully, who would usually intimidate and assault his fellow students.
The man said that he is very disturbed at the fact that his son’s attacker was also involved in another chopping incident at his school.
“It is time for drastic steps to be taken to protect decent, law-abiding students from bullies who are in the habit of maliciously intimidating students for their own amusement,” Ramlochan said.
The lawyer also claims that the said boy is one who would use narcotics on the school’s premises.
The man said that if these “petty” issues are not sternly addressed by the school’s administration early, it will most likely lead to incidents that are now becoming prevalent in today’s society where students are killing their fellow students.
Despite the severity of the issue, Ramlochan revealed that the juvenile assailant was not even suspended.
He has forwarded his police statements to the Ministry of Education, and is hoping to receive a reply as soon as possible.
