Childline Gauteng director Lynne Cawood says bullying in schools is indicative of the high levels of violence in SA.

She added that through their face-to-face counselling at their centres in the province, they have established that many children have a behavioural problem.Last Wednesday, a 17-year-old pupil from Roodepark High School was admitted to hospital after an alleged bullying incident at the school.

The mother of the boy who was allegedly bullied by a 15-year-old pupil says her child was sensitive to light and sound since the incident occurred. He said teachers were present in and around the school but unfortunately “this incident happened within seconds”. “Fortunately, he [17-year-old pupil] was on Saturday, discharged from hospital and he is currently recuperating at home,” he said.
