SINGAPORE: A troubling incident at Admiralty Secondary School has raised significant concerns after a student was allegedly assaulted by a classmate, resulting in a severe head wound.
This disturbing event unfolded on Tuesday, January 8, prompting an immediate response from the Singapore Police Force (SPF).
At approximately 2 p.m., authorities received a distress call from the school located at 31 Woodlands Crescent. Upon arrival, emergency medical services assessed the 12-year-old victim, who was later transported to the hospital for treatment. Fortunately, the school has confirmed that the victim is currently in stable condition.
In the aftermath of the incident, another 12-year-old boy is assisting the police in their investigations under suspicions of voluntarily causing hurt. The school administration is cooperating with the ongoing police inquiry while also taking steps to provide support to all involved.
In a statement issued by Admiralty Secondary School, officials expressed their commitment to maintaining a safe learning environment, emphasizing that they do not tolerate acts of violence. The school also communicated that it had reached out to the parents of the victim and has initiated counseling for the alleged perpetrator. Additionally, necessary disciplinary actions will be implemented based on the findings of the investigation.
The gravity of the situation was further amplified by a heartfelt Facebook post from the victim’s uncle, who shared alarming details of the assault. The post described the attack as 'brutal,' with the victim reportedly struck multiple times on the head with a metal water bottle, resulting in a deep laceration that required stitches. The uncle's anguish was palpable as he shared images showcasing the alarming wound and the victim in a wheelchair, his head bandaged.
The family is actively seeking accountability, insisting that this incident not be ignored: 'This is not just about one child; it’s about ensuring the safety and accountability of a school that is supposed to protect and nurture its students.' The uncle also raised pertinent questions regarding supervision within the school environment, wondering how such an act could occur in a classroom without anyone intervening.
As the investigation continues, the community remains on edge, highlighting a critical need for discussions around student safety and the measures schools must take to prevent such incidents in the future.
