Monday, September 04, 2017

FRANCISTOWN: It was panic and fear for parents of Aerodrome Primary School pupils after some pupils at the school injected others with discarded used needles believed to have been carelessly disposed of by a diabetic on August 24.

A member of the school’s Parent Teacher Association (PTA) and some of the parents revealed this ‘harrowing’ incident to The Monitor on condition of anonymity. Parents were then called to the school for a crisis meeting on August 31.

Sources added that parents were told that someone suspected to be from the Aerodrome location, which uses the same name with the school, indiscriminately disposed of his or her used diabetes needles.
