Elmore Stoutt High student allegedly assaults teacher

A female teacher at the Elmore Stoutt High School (ESHS) was physically assaulted by a male student in a hallway incident that sparked a police investigation and raised questions about student mental health and school preparedness.

According to a ZBVI report, the altercation occurred when two teachers were engaged in conversation in the hallway, and a group of students passed by. One male student reportedly chose to walk between the teachers, prompting a verbal caution from one of the educators.

The male student became aggressive and allegedly started punching the female teacher in her upper body several times, and then walked away.

The attack was reportedly caught on CCTV, and police were called to the school shortly after. The teacher was later treated for injuries received during the assault.

According to the report, the student in question is said to have mental health challenges and may have missed his treatment schedule. Based on what is known about that particular student, it was reportedly out of character for him to behave that way.

Authorities are now working to determine the student’s mental fitness before proceeding with formal police interviews. Mental health professionals are expected to be asked for their advice on whether the student is mentally capable of dealing with the police.

If mental health professionals give the go-ahead, the student could face formal charges and appear in court, where it will also need to be determined whether he is fit to stand trial.

The issue has prompted concerns about whether the school was aware of the student’s medical condition and had taken adequate measures.

Similar incidents at the school have prompted calls for increased counselling services and stricter protocols for managing students with behavioural or mental health issues. The investigation remains ongoing.

    He needs to be expelled. Then charged for assault. Simple. He is 18 years old. Charge him as an adult and lock him up. CCTV Footage is all you need for a conviction.

        No parent should send their children to that shool while he is a registered student.

    Dear Readers;

    Children do not wake up with mental health issues overnight..something had to give rise or trigger to this; please stop pulling down our kids and labelling them in the worst way. BVI needs to focus on the pressing matters at hand and stop belittling persons and keep our communities cleaner and safe. Instead of helping all au jus love talk shyte.

      The parent(s) caretakers wont show their fsces neither will they extend an apology to the school and the Community.
      Neither will they volinteer topay the cost of the victim’s medical care.
      We won’t be given the opportunity of knowing the identity of this vicious criminal among us in ths Itty bitty place,our once tranquil crime free home. No opprtunity to stay out dem way and criss the street. Soooo no choice but to be wary of dem upislun people and loathe

    There we go again, I hope this is not swept under the rug like everything else. What if he had taken her life? If students are now bold enough to assult their teachers, what’s next. I guess soon no one will take teaching as a profession, and then what. This is wrong and someone should be held accountable for failing this teacher. She definitely didn’t deserve this. What’s next for this teacher, will she ever be ok to teach again. So many unanswered questions.

    • Mommy good child says:

      To be quite honest, she will never feel safe I am sure she’s traumatized. My advice this matter needs to be addressed in court, he’s not a child and he knows exactly what he did, clearly he had NO RESPECT FOR ADULTS and if this is not addressed it will happen again, and next time he will stab a teacher, because he knows he can get away with it. If the parents not even addressing this matter says a lot. No apology, nothing wow.

      No teaching is safe if that’s the environment, they have to work in.

    we live amongst many others that suffer from mental challenges if your coping mechanism is to physically assault someone after picking trouble then you don’t belong in society

  20. Unpopular Opinion says:

    This will be an unpopular opinion but change often happens when unpopular action is taken. We have an immigration issue coupled with many other issues (cost of living) in the BVI and these are playing out in many ways. How can you have a mother from another country here on minimum wage and coming with, or getting 2,3,4 children while here? She is going to work many jobs to make ends meet. Who is then parenting her children during this time? People it is a huge issue that needs urgent attention. If you cannot prove how you will provide for you and your children while here, I am sorry but you have to leave, or you cannot be granted a work permit to enter in the first place. Period. We are doing more harm than good by allowing these issues to continue unchecked. I don’t know this child or his circumstances but all I’m saying is if he’s the child of a non-national who is struggling to make ends meet, it may be time to bid them farewell.

  21. CHARGE HE RASS says:

    IF THIS STUPID BOY HAS MENTAL ISSUES ,
    WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING GOING TO SCHOOL WITH THE OTHER CHILDREN?
    U ALL GONNA WAIT UNTIL HE KILL SOMEBODY CHILD OR A TEACHER? EXPELL THIS BOY TO AVOID TRAGEDY IN THE FUTURE.
    MENTAL ISSUES MY ASS. THESE SCHOOL CHILDREN BOYS AND GIRLS ARE DOING DRUGS AND IT’S MESSING WITH THEM.
    IMAGINE PARENTS ARE GOING TO SCHOOL TO FIGHT TEACHERS FOR THESE RUDE ASS CHILDREN.
    THE PARENTS SRE AFRAID OF THEM CUZ THEY CURSE THEM STINK AND BEAT THEM LIKE A DOG.
    THAT’S GOOD FOR THEM STUPID SO CALL PARENTS.

  22. Everybody Monkey always Nice says:

    See this is the same foolishness, that’s festering in the BVI society, all of a sudden he has mental issues, where’s this stated on his student record, this also needs to be public knowledge.

    Teachers my advice take this matter to court. These parents allow their kids to run wild. He’s and adult he will be tried as an adult. Parents if you fail to correct your kids the laws will as adults, and that’s the biggest problem in the BVI.

    So putting thing in prospective, you want independence, yet you have nothing in place for people with mental illness from kids to adults, your roads and infrastructure in shambles, you don’t even have proper running water 24/7, your elderly are neglected, health care system need addressing.

    This society has failed with it comes to their kids. As it was once said it’s kids raising kids, because of all the young pregnancy, and it’s stemming from a lack of family planning, no teaching of contraceptive to the young kids, in their home or a schools. There is a need in the society that’s lacking and this kind I action will only get worse if it’s not addressed. Time to wake up BVI.
