We’ll just let you decide if this parent is being overprotective or not. Outraged that his daughter was apparently being bullied by her peers at Yishun Secondary School (and that the school did nothing about it, or so he claims), the father called the cops.
From his Facebook post, it seems that the police really did drop by the school to get a statement from his daughter, who was allegedly bullied.
“Let’s see how the boy’s performs in standing trials in the Court of laws,” he says. Cold, bro.
But let’s trace what led him to call the police on a purported teenage bully. On Oct 9, he claimed in a post that the bully — said to be a school prefect and a leader in the school’s National Cadet Corp — verbally abused his daughter, but was apparently let off lightly on grounds that he was a school student leader.
Prior to the verbal abuse, the daughter was allegedly cyber-bullied — an ordeal that she’s faced for the past nine months.
The dad then apparently went above and beyond by directly complaining to the Ministry of Education, which aptly told him that disciplinary action would be a matter handled by the school, not an actual ministry. Angry dad got angrier.
It was only yesterday that the dad went as far as to call the police to drop by the school, in his efforts to seek justice.
Naturally, folks voiced their concerns about him going a wee bit overboard.
