"Her parents should involve police and also report those children to school authorities. Some of us that went to public will not care to let our parents know that someone bullied or beat us , we go just arrange some friends and treat them in the language they understand."

@IdongesitUduehe

"This is madness. Na why my kids go dey join me lift some kind light weights then take self defense class during holidays. If you can’t train your kids to keep their hands off other kids, they’ll teach them outside."
