Kalabo Secondary School Pupil Attempts Su***de After Parental Confrontation
A disturbing incident has occurred at Kalabo Secondary School, where a Grade 10 pupil attempted to take her own life after a confrontation with her mother regarding her academic performance. The pupil, whose name has been withheld, ingested battery powder mixed with water after her mother expressed frustration over her lack of seriousness towards school.
Fortunately, the situation was intervened by the pupil's aunt, who discovered her in time and provided assistance. The pupil is currently receiving care, although she is experiencing mental distress.
The mother has since appealed for professional help, urging trained counselors to assist her child in coping with the trauma.
