Local school bullying suspect arrested & charged– CoP Collins
After complaining of poor handling of the incident by the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF), the mother had also taken to social media for more traction.
She claimed weapons such as knives, brass knuckles, and broken bottles were used to bully her son.
The frustrated mother revealed that her son was badly injured by the alleged bully and she even has a medical report from the hospital to show.
Many on social media have expressed sympathy to the mother and son and called for the alleged bully to be dealt with swiftly by authorities.
Speaking to Virgin Islands News Online (VINO) Commissioner of Police, Mr Collins confirmed the suspect in the attacks has been arrested and charged.
Community policing programme will take effect - ToP CoP
He also indicated that officials at the school have been contacted and the mother updated on the way forward.
“Part of our community policing programme has officers going into schools. I have also spoken at the High School, along with some of my officers,” the Top Cop said when pressed on what further action will be taken by the RVIPF.
CoP Collins also indicated that the force intends to investigate all allegations of bullying in schools.
Following alleged non-action by the police over the issue, the distraught mother was forced to take to both social media, and the popular ‘Da Morning Braff’ radio show with host Floyd Burnett on Tola Radio 100.5FM to bring awareness to her concerns.
The alleged bullying incidents come as the Virgin Islands will be observing Anti-Bullying Week later this month.

I hope that bully learned a good lesson. There is a lot more out there like him that need to be dealt with.
They rather stay in the station inhaling mold
Sooo what else are these lil hoods , under the watchfuIl eyes of parents and teachers transporting ?
Like that one Principal that was down C** that they keep moving from school to school.
Let them put their £$%^ hands on mine!!!!! They dont have a force big enough to stop the carnage, that is all I will say!!!!!
bay have a bad reputation. Too many of the teachers in there are bullies and they continue to get away with it. The head teacher is too soft. Anyways I done transfer my own from there but that place need a clean sweep.
If not for social media, I doubt anything would have been done. Imo when weapons start getting involved it's not simply bullying anymore. Shame on the school and police station for not acting sooner.
So you attack or rob and nothing happens even with they have the video!
This is why CoP is here! To fix the mess! YES to the CoP!!!!
We all have to give ourselves a tap on the shoulder for assistance into this matter. Thank you everyone for your compassion, voice and I hope the mother of this child is reading all the love that is pouring in.
I the lady and her family should have picked up this bully and give him a beating of his life.... biggest high school in history ... don't make sense
