One last thing I hope the assailant is not a boy who hit this female student because it speaks volume of how men disrespect women. Violence is a learned aspect of life it is not bilogically inherited so to be clear, what are these youths learning at home and in their community will only be displayed in schools and when they are in relationships. They lack the ability to reason their issues like the adults. Change is needed.

This is what I am talking about with counselors needed in schools. 8:15am with a hammer. What class was he in? shop and where are the adults around this time aren't cl** in session. The schools suppose to be the safest place for a child especially when a parent is leaving their children in this environment. There are a lot of question that needs to answered. What is he doing with a hammer? Who is monitoring the traffic of students?

Children witness adults like the PM and other leaders fighting everyday so why not handle their issues in the same manner. I heard the PM on the recording talking about chopping people so what do you expect from the youths.

You want crime to decrease lead by example.
