11 Year Old Gangster Child?
An 11 year old student of the Holy Rosary Primary School in Kingston, who in April of this year allegedly fired a gun on the school compound, is again being investigated by police, this time in relation to the stabbing of another student at the school last Wednesday (June 17).
According to the police, the boy was involved in an altercation with another 11 year old, and used a broken bottle to stab him in the chest. The injured student was rushed to hospital where he was listed in stable condition, while the accused boy has been removed from the school and taken to a place of safety.
With regard to the investigation of the April shooting incident, the police indicate that it led nowhere, as the gun (which was allegedly hidden), was never found. They are however questioning the rationale of him being allowed back into the school system, but the hands of school officials may have been tied, as unless the child was convicted of a crime, it would be difficult to deprive him of an education.
