School Children in Kashkadarya are Accused of Scaring a 9-Year-Old Boy

Disturbing news has emerged from Kashkadarya, as reports of schoolchildren allegedly intimidating a nine-year-old boy have surfaced online.  The regional pre-school and school education department's information service has responded to these claims.

According to eyewitness accounts from fifth-grade students, the incident took place on the 11th of May at 15:16 p.m., shortly after school had ended.  Eight third-grade students entered the school gym and started playing. However, two fifth-grade students joined them and frightened the younger students, going as far as forcing some of them out of the gymnasium.  The older students then took the remaining four third-graders to a small room in the hall, where they proceeded to strip one of them and used a toy rubber "snake" to hit the lower part of her waist.  Distressed by the ordeal, the student went home, but remained silent out of fear.  It was only three days later that a classmate informed the boy's mother about the incident.

Medical professionals have verbally confirmed that the results of the medical examination were clear.

"The investigation department of the district DIA is currently looking into the incident.  The school administration and other officials have not exerted any pressure on the child's parents or family members.  On the contrary, efforts are underway to collaborate with them to ascertain the details of the incident.  The student's mother expressed regret over her initial hasty decision, and it has been confirmed that her child is in good health.  The department is closely monitoring the situation and the overall morale within the school through its dedicated staff," stated the department spokesperson.
