Primary School Expels 2-Year-Old Injured Pupil In Their Care After Her Parents Called In The Police
Doxa Etim-Esin, a KG 2 pupil of Remmok School, located at 57, Sarah Faboyede Street, Bucknor Estate, Transformer Bus Stop, Oke-Afa, Isolo, Lagos, got injured within the school premises and was not given First Aid afterwards. Her angry parents then reported the matter to the police.
According to human rights activist, Emeka Ugwuonye, who got the complaint, Doxa was expelled because her parents reported to the police.
Her mom was quoted as saying:
”Apart from being in the school within school hours, we also paid for after school care to be provided for her until we pick her up later in the evening.
On Tuesday, October 25, 2016, I got to the school premises at about 7.30pm and upon checking her body, I noticed her right eye was bleeding. I was alarmed! I beckoned on the small boy she was left with and all he could say was…. I don’t know what happened. It’s not our fault.
At this point, I was left with no other option but to raise an alarm. The proprietress’ daughter came out and maintained that whatever happened to my daughter was not their fault. At this point, I was so traumatised.
I kept demanding for explanations but got none. The proprietress’ husband came out at that point to say I had no right shouting in his premises and then ordered me out of his residence.
One of the daughters also flung my child’s school bags at me insisting the accident was not their fault. I reported the issue to the nearest police station and the next day, the school management was invited.
The DPO charged the teacher and she was detained. We made it plain that our displeasure was basically the fact that a 30-month-old child had an accident where adults were around and was left without even first aid treatment for the next 5 hours.
To our greatest surprise, the school, on Monday, November 7, 2016, inserted a dismissal letter in her school bag which was to be effective the very next day.”
u can imagine
Nigeria, Nigeria, Nigeria tsk tsk tsk. Only in Nigeria will shit like this happen. You are expelling a child after being negligent? I mean what effrontery? Mtschew. I hope she sues that school. They will never try such again if it were my kid.
Hmmmm
D so CL owner of d sch needs to be discipline
DPA on the move, i pity the school management, SORRY would have ended this MESS
Am sure they ain’t qualified to be called a school.
Thy are very lucky that am not d mother of that child sorry would hv been their family name
Hmmm, i like the way MIM stressed the address of the school so that no parent make a silly mistake of taking their kids/wards there.
I’m so sure with the publicity of this case, the school will hear it
Why is the child of that age being picked at 7: 30 pm, what would the child be doing after she close from school. Does the school make provision of care giving after school?
