According to police reports, the boy, a student at the private school in Wadi, had previously expressed to his mother that he was being beaten by teachers. Initially, she dismissed these claims, believing her son must have been at fault. As a result, the boy began to avoid attending school.
Compounding the situation, police noted that the child has a health issue that requires him to use the washroom every half hour. Although his mother had informed the school administration of his condition, teachers allegedly denied him access to the washroom, exacerbating his health problems. The boy’s condition worsened, leading to his hospitalization in August. The police are now investigating the circumstances surrounding this troubling incident.
