It was only when I called the teacher that she found out about the incident. We rushed to school at 8:15 am, but my daughter had not yet reached her classroom or school,” the girl’s mother recalled the incident.
“My daughter said she hit her head on the front seat. And when she woke up, there were all the big students, that is, boys and seniors from the second trip. inside and then called me,” she added.
The girl’s parents removed her from school and complained to local authorities, complaining that staff downplayed the incident as a minor incident.
“I can’t find the courage to send her to school until she is a little older to take care of herself. I went to the same school, but I never expected my daughter to be treated this way. Our trust has been broken. We are lucky to to have our son alive; I pray that no other father and son will go through such a miserable situation,” the woman said.
