By A Correspondent- Business came to a standstill at Barwick Primary School in Concession on Monday after angry parents stormed the premises meting out instant justice on a 62 year old teacher accused of indecently assaulting four grade six girls.

Speaking to a local publication on Tuesday, school acting headmistress confirmed the incident and the alleged cases of s.e.xual abuse.

The publication reports that on Monday morning six women, including one of the pupil’s mother, stormed the school armed with sticks to attack the alleged abuser. “They went to his classroom where they found him packing his stuff and he ran away after being attacked.

“The women later confronted me before they attacked me and two other staff members.

“Sometime last week, we received complaints from these pupils that the teacher had been inappropriately touching them during lessons and we instigated some investigations into the cases,” she said.

The s.e.xual abuse suspect has since gone into hiding after the discovery of the alleged abuse. Police reports have since been filed in respect of both the s.e.xual abuse and assault cases.

School authorities have since suspended the teacher pending investigations into his alleged conduct. The girls, all in Grade Six, allege the teacher was in the habit of touching their privates during lessons.-StateMedia
