THE MOTHER of a nine-year-old boy whose son sustained an injury at the Kingstown Preparatory School (KPS) on Wednesday October 22nd, 2025, that has led to two brain surgeries says she feels lost and depressed.

Back in October, the mother told her story, to SEARCHLIGHT, on condition of anonymity to protect her son’s identity.

The story is that an older student pounded her son’s head on a door and on the concrete flooring, and she (the mother) did not know the full story until her son had undergone a craniotomy at the Milton Milton Cato Memorial Hospital (MCMH) and had 100 millimetres of pus drained from his brain due to meningitis.

Speaking to SEARCHLIGHT again on June 18, 2026, the mother said since the incident, only management and a counsellor attached to the KPS reach out to her regularly and no one from the Ministry of Education or from the older child’s family has ever contacted her.

The student returned to school on March 2nd this year after being out since October last year and had to leave school again as he did a second surgery (cranioplasty) on Monday June 8 and has to now miss exams.
