Teen Attacked for Allegedly Filming & Sharing Video of Schoolmates Vaping

The government has been clamping down on the sale and use of vapes in Singapore, and here’s a possible reason for that.

On 29 August, the eve of Teachers’ Day, a 15-year-old student was sent to the hospital after being allegedly attacked by her schoolmates who accused her of sharing a video of their friend vaping in a school toilet.

You see, even underaged kids who haven’t completed secondary school can also get their hands on these.

How It Happened

In an interview with The Straits Times, the student claimed she was walking home with her friend at around 10.40am that day as they were dismissed early for the school holiday, when they were stopped by a fellow student who brought them to a void deck nearby.

Classic.

When they reached the void deck, they found a group of their schoolmates waiting and they demanded to see the student’s phone. After she refused, the group then seized it from her.

Subsequently, the duo were dragged to a multi-storey carpark and the student was slapped multiple times by a female schoolmate as she refused to unlock her phone. According to her, her friend left the scene after being told by the group to leave.

The schoolmate who had slapped the student continued doing so until her spectacles flew off her face and almost broke, and she added that the schoolmate then started punching her, including on her nose and lips.

The same schoolmate and another student in the group then forced her to kneel down and apologise to the female student who was caught on video vaping.

Although her mobile phone was damaged when the group of students smashed it, she managed to call her mother after the group left.

Her mother then called the police and the teen was taken to the hospital by ambulance for medical checks including X-rays. She suffered a nose bleed, swollen lips and bruises on her legs.

A police report was filed and investigations are ongoing.

School Has been Notified and Identified Students Involved

The school which the students are from has been informed of the incident, and have reportedly identified the parties involved.

“We take a serious view of acts of violence and bullying, and will assist the police in their investigation,” the school said. “We are in touch with the affected student and her family to monitor her well-being.”

It also added that it would carry out the appropriate disciplinary actions and counsel the perpetrators where necessary.

The teen’s father told The Straits Times that he intends to employ a domestic helper to help protect her, fearing for her safety, and is keeping her company in the meantime. Her mother also told Lianhe Zaobao that she was thinking of transferring her daughter to another school.

The student mentioned to The Straits Times that there have been arrangements made by the school for a teacher to escort her to and from school from now on.
