The day an 11-year-old did not come home from school

[True Believer]

In a recent interview, Yong Le’s father, who requested anonymity to safeguard the privacy of his family, said his son sobbed when he was asked to find the missing item, which he had apparently hidden in the school’s garden. A spokesperson for MOE said: “We wish to clarify that the school’s fact finding process was comprehensive, and included the review of CCTV footage. The student had also admitted to taking the item.” Sounds like there was no proof the kid took the item and the teachers had forced the kid to confess that he took it. Very unjust situation and understandable that the boy reacted the way he did.

Both teachers sound like crooked cops trying to close a case at the fastest possible time so that their record of unsolved cases does not increase too much.

I don't think the teachers do it deliberately. I believe if the boy's mental condition have been made known to the teachers, things will turn out differently.
For a normal mentally healthy kid, such questioning are peanuts when compared to NS punishments and will never lead to suicidal problems.

More investigation is needed to find out all these factors. If any party deliberately withhold such mental condition for the boy, then this person(s) should be held responsible, including the parents.

What if it's questioning by CECA?

The teachers were not trained and lacked the necessary empathy and patience to deal appropriately with this special needs child.

my 1st form teacher was lakshimi. i remember her as “lecture-me” or sometimes as “lash at me” as she used a ruler to spank me for very minor infractions such as talking in class in the back row.

Men like me in my mid-50s will remember the days of flying chalk and dusters hurled by teachers towards noisy or inattentive students.
