Iskandhar student beaten as he refused to enter with ‘Barbie’ backpack


MALE, May 19 (HNS) – The parent of a student studying at Iskandhar School beat her son on Tuesday as he refused to enter the class after he was given a “Barbie” backpack.

A parent told Haveeru yesterday that the woman beat the third grader near the school’s restroom, when students were streaming in for the afternoon session on Tuesday.

The parent said many students saw the scene and were disturbed by it.

Parents who witnessed the scene reported it to the school office.

The school’s Principal Hussein Saeed said he talked to the parent and found out that the boy had hesitated to get into class because he had a girl’s backpack.

“The school has now bought the boy a backpack and he studied in class yesterday,” he said.

Haveeru has found out that the mother of the boy is a single parent who makes a living on her own and has two other children to support.
