The case of the 13-year-old high school student in Gerakas who went to school with an air gun with plastic bullets in his bag in order to defend himself is shocking, as he claims to have been threatened by a certain group of children.
As soon as the headmistress of the school realised that the 13-year-old was carrying a gun even during the break, she called the police who took over the case.
As the investigation revealed, the 13-year-old was receiving threats from older students and for the last week he had been going to school with the air rifle, which he had secretly taken from the bag of one of his brothers.
The 13-year-old gave a statement and was arrested but was released by order of the prosecutor and the same happened to his parents against whom a case was filed for neglect of a minor.
According to the family of the 13-year-old student, for the last 6 months the child was subjected to a suffocating bullying with threats even to his life. He had spoken to a teacher about the nightmare he was going through and the school's administration had been informed, which had replied that it could only guarantee his safety inside the school.
The 13-year-old boy continued to receive threats and bullying, while according to reports, other children of the school had also been victims of bullying by this group.
The social worker who went to the school advised the family and teachers not to punish the 13-year-old as he is a mild-mannered child who was pushed to the limit by the violent behaviour he was receiving.
Today, the parents of the child will meet with the headmistress of the school to consider the punishment of the 13-year-old and the students who were bullying him.
Today, the parents of the child will meet with the headmistress of the school in order to consider the punishment of the 13-year-old and the students who were bullying him. A proposal to remove the 13-year-old from the school has also been on the table, provoking a reaction from the parents who stress that it is the victim and not the perpetrators who are being punished in the case.
