My nephew and the culprits ARE NOT FRIENDS

Friends, this text message has apparently been posted by Sonya Mehta (HOS) of Assam Valley School to the whatsapp groups of AVS parents. This is how it reads-

Dear Parent,
This is to inform you that a child got injured in the school while playing with another boy on 6 July, 2017. It was a game that went completely out of hand. Strict disciplinary action as per school rules has been taken against the child who hurt his friend. It is not a case of bullying as both boys are old students of the school. The hurt child is in class 7 and the other boy is in class 8. I am in touch with the injured boy's parents and extend all support to them.
I assure you that this was an unprecedented incident and your child is happy and comfortable in the school. I thank you for your patience and support.
Regards,
Sonya Mehta
(HOS)

Few points below-

1. My nephew and the culprits ARE NOT FRIENDS

2. Which type of Game is Madam referring to ? Indoor ,Outdoor or inside a Dorm Room ? Then comes the Name of Sport which is missing , Out of Hand ?? Out of hand Sport is usually associated with Sports like Wrestling , Kick Boxing etc ? If the incident has really happened during a friendly game then why does the school have to take disciplinary action ?? Injuries are common in sports where it is unintentional and the matter is over. When a school takes disciplinary action either the sport is illegal or the intention is best known to the accused. There are clear contradictions in statement which she has posted.

3. Which school allows WWF as a game, or is it a game at all??

4. There has been no update to us about any action been taken by the school as mentioned in the above message.

My inbox is flooding with messages from parents/ relatives all across who are mentioning about their ward being victimised in the school premises and the school doing nothing about it. Case in point is Mohit Harlalka, son of Santosh Harlalka, resident of Guwahati, who almost lost his eye in a similar incident (he took almost a year to recover from the physical & mental abuse) and the school downplaying the whole incident. It is high time that ASSAM VALLEY SCHOOL TAKES A BOLD STAND INSTEAD OF BRUSHING THINGS UNDER THE CARPET AND POSTING MISLEADING SMS/ WHATSAPP AT PUBLIC FORUMS.
