If this is really the normal norm in the school, the school leadership should be arrested and prosecuted. All reasonable parents should withdraw their children from the school and Ministry of Education should go to other boarding house and talk to those seniors because that's the thread in boarding house. Na who Dem catch be thief!

No matter how we put it, we can never absolve careless parents from the blame.

Look at this considerate parent, he noticed something and he took action because he pays close attention to his ward.

There has never been a bully taken too far without it showing signs on the child. The parent if he/she pays attention will notice it in any break or visiting sessions. It is when the parent neglects the sign that we have serious cases.
Funny is that some parents don't know that their child is being bullied. This reminds me of the woman that have been fighting deeper life school for months now, many people think that she is overreacting but the truth is that she pays close attention to her child, noticed the danger and took action immediately. If not, her son would have been part of those that died from boarding school insanity this year.

Parents should pay attention to their children.

Very good action.

Some of these problems na we parents dey cause them! We fail to observe, give listening hear or even pay attention to our God given children. It's only when we give them time to confide in us we get to know about things they are going through.

Dear parents, we need to be very heedful of our kids.

The school sef..

Now that's a concerned parent who took necessary action. You did well.

I have always said the Nigerian Boarding house system is where we all pick up this self centered survivalist mentality from

A stitch in time..... Wise dude.
I have never at any point in time be a fan of boarding school

Most of my friends are that attended boarding schools turned out to be something else, even girls.

Boarding schools have turned to home for children from dysfunctional homes. They go to boarding schools and become violent against well trained kids.

Say NO to boarding schools!!!

Now, that's how a parent who is really concerned about his/her kid should act...

Sadly, the parents of Sylvester were too negligent and the young boy paid the price..

Dammmm niggarrr
Isoright

Personally I see no reason why parents should throw away their kids all in the name of " l am a busy parent" life is all about balancing. Let your learn both formal and informal education as this will help both the school and parents checkmate the activity of the child. My five Kobo.

Whatever makes him happy. What's more important is that the child is still alive

A parent that paid attention to their child's wellbeing

Congratulations, you saved him from dying. I hope you school him at home.
This is how they train weak ass men.

Thank God we are finally being aware of some wrongs in our society..... So, parents are getting to listen to their kids now abi? Well, this is good... We don dey get sense.

THAT IS A WISE AND RESPONSIBLE PARENT
WHEN YU NOTICE CLEARLY ANYTHING FISHY AT YOUR KID'S SCHOOL YU ACT FAST.

I like the proactive approach these parents took to forestall further damage to their son's wellbeing. Parents out should be sensitive and bold enough to take decisive action when needed.

Cool

Some of us that attended public schools didn't really experience bullying. I remember on several occasions at United Community Secondary School that I attended, all the senior students that bullied any junior student were dealt with by the junior students when the school closed by 2pm.

I remember when JSS 3 students fought SS3 students because they were bullying us. For no reason they would come to our class and beat everybody and term it "general beating" we endured for a while, we reported them to the Principal but nothing was done until the day we had a meeting to confront them, they came and we resisted, it was a serious fight that we were all told to go home by the Principal.

I can't imagine me paying over One Million Naira or even 500k for my child education and s/he will come and report to me that someone is bullying him/her.

God forbid, if the late Sylvester was my child or relative I would have killed somebody. It could be the school principal, hall master, parents of those who he accused of assaulting him or the accused persons themselves.

Boarding school is just a rip off of peoples money.

It's turn by turned.

We were bullied when we enter school,

And when they make us prefect in our senior level we also bullied others, who will also bullied those behind them.

The problem is that children of this days are all ajibota, eating indomie day and night.

Back in the old days sending a child to boarding school was a type of punishment to the child, nothing is there just tears,hunger, sickness and psychological trauma

Good decision

It takes God's grace to survive bulling in school. I was a victim. I did boarding, was bullied by my seniors and class mates just because I was small in size and sharp in brain. I still remember one of such time that I was pushed to the wall by one of the senior, I had to charge back in a face to face fight, all the seniors there were surprised how I brought this bully(their classmate) to the ground. My God I was so furious, I still can't say where the strength came from. That was my saving grace that day. They had to pull me off him. That was the beginning of another night mare for me till I finished secondary school.

Best to get him schooling at home and keep him away from other kids. Cos bullies are everywhere from schools private+boarding, churches and even in homes.

Our society has permitted this misconduct for too long. Most parents praise their kids who can't keep their hands to themselves... You hear parents chanting about how strong their kids are, when their kids go about hitting people, instead of scolding such behaviours.

This is the main reason cultism thrives in our school system, because there is always a need for protection and vengeance.

We are all part of the problem. We need to change the way we raise children and how we relate with ourselves. We also need to speak up against any form of bullying, because the victims today might become oppressors tomorrow

Trying to understand why he had to share this news. Glad he took his best decision for his ward but he needs not come rub it in others faces.

The fear of boarding school is now the beginning of wisdom


Sad

This thing is getting out of hands in boarding schools oh.

Nice

Boarding schools & brouhaha are like 5&6.

Seniors would bully.
Paedo-staff would assault.
