posted (May 23, 2017)
A parent in Orange Walk is accusing her son's principal of humiliating and bullying him in front of the whole school. Evangelina Alamilla says she failed in cutting her 12 year old son's hair - and because of that the Principal at Solomon's Seven Day Adventist Primary School allegedly made an example of the standard four student at assembly time. Here's how his mother put it when she spoke to our colleagues at CTV-3:

Evangelina Alamilla - Claims Principal Bullied Child
"She bullied my son because of his long hair. He told me, mom I need to cut my hair, I told him yes son. I am a working mom and I told him Saturday ill cut your hair. My kid came to school, in front of the assembly. She called Keithlin's name and she said I don't want anyone to come to school like Keithlin's hair. Everybody turned and looked at my kid and she actually made it an issue, she went to wash his hair in the bathroom. When my son when back to his class, the kids made fun of him. My son actually escape from school, got the bus, he went by the shop, catch the bus and went home. I came to school, talked to her but she said she only used my kid as an example. I told her no, that's not the way, that's bullying."

The Principal was unavailable for comment for the entire day. The Education Officer for Orange Walk, Carla Alvarez, told CTV-3 that the matter is under investigations.
