Following the deeply tragic circumstances at Stanground College last week, where a child died (our thoughts are truly with the family) we are now getting a number of disturbing reports of targeted bullying activity against one particular child, who made it is alleged 'a very stupid, thoughtless remark about the death to another child' as a result that person has been subjected to a number of personal attacks.
The parents tell us their Park Farm house is also being targeted with bricks being thrown at windows and other more serious incidents over the weekend. The child concerned now fully realises how stupid the remarks were and is now very,very upset and full of remorse.
In cases such as this, immediate reaction, bereavement and remorse manifests itself in many ways and needs the whole wider group of associates, friends and relations to be fully supportive.
PFNW is now closely monitoring the situation, local neighbourhood police teams have also been contacted and we would urgently ask all parents and guardians to have a gentle word with their children.
The prolonged bouts of concentrated bullying and the physical attacks on one particular property (Criminal Damage) must also stop before it gets really out of hand and into the Courts system, thus blighting some young lives.
We will take calls on this if you feel you have been affected, and need to talk matters over, but at the end of the day it has to be down to parents and guardians to explain why bully activity is simply the wrong way to fondly remember and celebrate the life of the recently departed.
