Father Who Caused an Alarm at Golden Grove Primary Questioned and Released
State Media has reported that a man involved in a troubling incident at Golden Grove Primary was questioned and subsequently released.
Sources indicate that the man caused a disturbance at the school while trying to see his child, but was not allowed to do so, a fact confirmed by education officials.
According to police, school officials were alarmed when the child raised concerns upon spotting the man. “The child was frightened because his mother has a difficult relationship with him.
Although police were dispatched to the scene, they confirmed that the man was not armed, contrary to what some online sources had suggested,” the report stated.
The man explained to police that he was attempting to inquire about the child after being unable to reach the child’s mother.
However, school officials acted swiftly to prevent him from approaching the child to ensure the situation remained calm.
The child’s mother later picked him up without any issues. Education officials also visited the school to meet with the staff.
The investigation into this matter is ongoing.
