Mother of alleged assault victim doesn’t want court action

Last week News Five received a report about a Tubal school student who was allegedly beaten with a machete which was being wielded by the driver of the Commissioner of Police Crispin Jefferies. When the driver hit the boy on the leg, the machete broke the cellular phone that was in the boy’s pocket.  The minor’s mother visited News Five to say that she does not intend to continue to press charges against the man because she fears that she might become a victim herself, since she works closely with the police department.  She also revealed that she was reliably informed that the incident would be handled internally, even though the alleged machete wielder is not a police officer.

    They take two steps forwards and four steps backwards, how can there possibly be any real change in that darn country.

    Mothers need to stand up for their children not back down like cowards, and hope good will come from bad.
