It seems Ranil has brought back the Hitter treatment to school kids. Ranil has to depend on the police and military to survive. That is why the police is acting in this manner. Ranil must go as he has no public mandate.

Police are to protect and serve the people and paid by the public. These barbaric acts are not a surprise but on young children? Their sadistic nature is evident when the victim is helpless. The school principal and teachers are of the same category and the poor students are at their mercy. There are bigger crimes committed by politicians and VIPs and the police is nowhere to be seen or heard.

At least the law is being implemented, it is some satisfaction to note. Students should be compensated, there should be a complaint box in every school to facilitate the students to register their complaints and the complaint box should be opened fortnightly by a nominee of the zonal eduction director in coordination with the police.

Shocking ,the way innocent children being abused by Ignorent Teachers and the Police men, of course our Police department is Very Brutal and Barbaric with some power backing,from the top. But Teachers are unworthy to be called as teachers,Trust the Law be implemented unbiased. Judiciary over to you.

@Quolp What? Who, the Year 5 students or the various the government paid persons? And why want kill/execute them?

These excesses have been heard from many corners. All teaches must be provided with student psychology training in handling student misdeeds. This can be done by group lectures, say about a 100 teachers in a group. Must be made compulsory yearly provided at employers cost

Torturing kids now are we? And here I thought our police force couldn't stoop any lower. Seriously, doesn't our police force have any shred of humanity in them?
Shelly Belly Wednesday, 09 November 2022 06:01 AM
Only scum of the earth would harm defenseless children. Now use the same method of questioning on them which they used on children over a stupid purse. Or the parents will resort to street justice which will not be pretty.

Two supposedly respected institutions in our Buddhism foremost paradise, education/schools and police. Both engaged in torturing our children. How low has our fictional 2600 year old Buddhist existence fallen
Eper Wednesday, 09 November 2022 07:32 AM
I hope there is sufficient evidence- cctv/eye witness-for taking the students to police questioning

Where is Joseph Stalin? Protests about everything and anything but does not know what is happening inside his camp.He should speak about this incident and the way that these teachers have behaved rather than protesting about everything that does not concern him.Get his teachers to act according to the guidelines given to them rather than criticizing other matters

Principal without principles! Give the maximum punishment possible.
WhereisHumanity? Wednesday, 09 November 2022 12:51 PM

When will we see justice done? A few months back I read a girl was raped when she was 5 years old, by the time the accused was found guilty the girl was 18 years.................
