A 22-year-old woman was last night in fear of losing her unborn child after being attacked by several schoolboys.
Carlene O'Brien said her four-month-old foetus was bruised by the blow. She was transferred to the Mt Hope Medical Sciences Complex in need of three pints of blood. In the attack she was hit on her waist with a stone.
Another woman was also attacked and a car's windows were smashed.
O'Brien of Piarco was taken to the Chaguanas Health Facility after she began bleeding following the incident.
She was with Irma Rodriguez, 42, who went to pick up her daughter from the Chaguanas Senior Comprehensive School.
Rodriguez's daughter was being bullied by a male classmate. On Monday she went to meet her daughter at the school to clear up the situation with the principal. She said her daughter, a Form Five pupil, made several reports to her form teacher who said she would forward the matter to the Dean of the school. Rodriguez said this was not done.
While waiting for a policeman outside the school to accompany her to see the principal, she said, her daughter pointed out the boy who also plays basketball at the school, to her. When he saw them he came up. Rodriguez said she told the boy that they would be handling the situation with school officials and the police.
She said the boy replied "leh we handle this scene now" and allegedly slapped Rodriguez.
She said her nephew who was in the back seat of the car came out and he was covered by about a dozen pupils who began kicking and cuffing him.
"I even took off my shoe and tried to hit them off my nephew, but one of the boys took it and pelt it," she said.
She said she got back into the car and tried getting away which was when a bottle was pelted.
She told her nephew and daughter to hide in the backseat and O'Brien to turn her back so that they would not get hit in the face when the children began pelting stones. One of the stones shattered the back glass in the car and another hit O'Brien in the waist.
Chaguanas CID did not comment on the complaints. The car Rodriquez was driving was parked on the station's compound.
School officials could not be reached.
A snapshot in time
Well here we have it folks: The future of Trinidad and Tobago playing out right before your very eyes. These people have no respect for themselves, their fellow citizens or for defenceless, unborn lives. The entire country is adrift and leaderless. It is dog eat dog out there, survival of the fittest. The rule of law is meaningless and toothless. The unending nightmare of crime, bloodletting and violence continues to rape and pillage the land. No one is immune. No one is safe. Hide and cower down behind your burglar bars, prisoners in your own homes. This is your future because you failed to act to save yourselves when there was still time to do so. Reap your whirlwind now, people of Trinidad and Tobago. The Grim Reaper.
