… assailant said to be fellow student
The mother of a Patentia Secondary School student is diligently praying that her 13-year-old son makes a complete recovery after the child was reportedly stabbed in the head by another student with a pair of scissors.
The lad, Neil Miggins, underwent surgery last evening at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) to remove the scissors. Doctors said that the operation was successful.
Barbara Miggins, of 79 Sisters Village, West Bank Demerara, said that she was at home during the mid afternoon when an ambulance pulled up at her house requesting that she come to attend to her son who was being taken to the West Demerara Regional Hospital.
Miggins said, “When I ran out I saw him in the ambulance with a scissors in his head.” The woman said that her son was in and out of consciousness before he could have related that he was running down a flight of stairs in the school when he “jammed” another male student standing of the stairway. He said he just feel the impact and then he feel the scissors in his head,” the mother related.
Miggins said that while she awaited word about her son at the West Demerara Regional Hospital, the police had informed her that the culprit said that young Miggins had troubled him and, “with passion, he just threw the scissors in his head.”
The culprit was reportedly taken to the Wales Police Station for questioning.
While Miggins fought her tears, she said that her son’s situation, though stable now, is a matter of life and death. She said she had to sign a document giving health care workers permission to remove the scissors since the surgery could have dire effects on the teen.
At the time, Miggins said that her son had gone in for surgery and doctors indicated that a bone would most likely have to be removed from the head.
“All the roughing up and driving, the scissors is still not coming out. Despite the jamming and movements,” the mother said her son kept hollering for his head, but the object would not budge. She said X-rays and a CT scan were done subsequently.
Miggins said that so far the school has made no contact with her. She said she has constantly warned her children about violence and other negative acts. She believes children should be children, and has also sought the intervention of her church in assisting with their upbringing.
