A father has taken to TikTok to allege that his nine-year-old son was punched in the face by a schoolmate at River Valley Primary School – but the school says its investigations found the contact was accidental.<\/p>\n

The video, posted by user @emceejohnny, has since drawn over 700,000 views and more than 2,400 comments<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Son allegedly punched in the face<\/h3>\n

In a two-minute clip, the father shared footage of his son – face censored – hugging his mother in what appeared to be a hospital.<\/p>\n

He claimed that during recess, his son’s wallet was allegedly snatched by other Primary 3 students while he was eating. When the boy chased after them, one of the students allegedly punched him in the face.<\/p>\n

“You snatched my son’s wallet already, he chased you, and you still got the cheek to box him,” the father said.<\/p>\n

He added that his son suffered a concussion and felt dizzy after the incident, but claimed that the other students went on to eat his snacks anyway.<\/p>\n

In the video, the father also criticised the school for placing the boy in the sick bay instead of immediately calling paramedics.<\/p>\n

“You know how serious this is or not, River Valley school teachers and principal?” he said. “He could’ve become a vegetable.”<\/p>\n

The father said he later called the police and an ambulance himself, adding that they were at the hospital from 2pm until nearly 7.30pm – when the video was filmed.<\/p>\n

“He’s suffering and he’s afraid to go to school now,” he added, showing a photo of the boy’s bruised lip at the end of the video.<\/p>\n

“I’m going to get my family lawyer to look into this situation,” he said.<\/p>\n

‘In the process of engaging the parents of all students involved’: River Valley Primary School<\/h3>\n

In response to queries from The New Paper, River Valley Primary School principal Jennifer Pang said the school is aware of an incident involving three Primary 3 students – identified as Students A, B, and C – that took place during recess on Oct 6.<\/p>\n

Student B is the alleged victim.<\/p>\n

She said the school’s investigations found that one student (Student A) had taken another student’s (Student B) wallet and snacks.<\/p>\n

Student B and another classmate (Student C) then chased Student A around the canteen, during which Student C “accidentally hit Student B’s lips with the wallet”.<\/p>\n

“Student A did not ‘punch’ Student B, as was alleged by the adult,” Principal Pang wrote.<\/p>\n

The school added that it will help the students learn from the incident and work towards a “positive resolution on the matter”.<\/p>\n

It is also engaging the parents of all students involved to share what transpired during recess and to support them in monitoring their children’s well-being.<\/p>\n
