Queens' College Parents -Teachers Association (PTA) Condemns Harassment of Security Guard

 The Queen’s College Parents-Teachers Association (PTA)  has condemned the girl’s mother who was shown in the video on social media harassing a security guard of the school because her daughter was disciplined.

In a release statement, the Caretaker Committee of the College’s PTA said the association was in support of the school management’s position on discipline.The statement reads: “We condemn in totality the action of the parent. We stand by the management in enforcing discipline in the school.

“However, the Committee will invite both the parent and the student with a view to ameliorating the situation and preventing a repeat of similar occurrence. The lesson we need to take home on this is simply that Queen’s College will not tolerate violation of its well settled rules and regulations.”

According to eyewitness accounts  “The girl was returning to school two weeks after the mid-term had ended. When the teachers saw her with eyelashes and painted nails, they asked her to kneel down. Her mother came in with her, sat down and listened but did not say anything. Someone heard her telling her daughter in Igbo that she should run away. But the girl refused. After the third time, the mother grabbed the girl’s bag and made to leave. The girl then called out, ‘Mummy where are you going?’

“When people realised that she was the girl’s mother, she quickly dragged the girl out. The security man did not did not know it was the girl’s mother dragging her out. In an attempt to ask why she was taking one of our students out, that was when she attacked the security man.

“The girl was even remorseful. She was asking the mother why she was disgracing her.”
