Child beaten by classmates at Mon Repos school released from hospital

Richard Boodram

Despite him being released from the Georgetown Public Hospital just over a week ago, eight-year-old Richard Boodram, who was brutally beaten by five of his classmates at the Mon Repos Primary last month, is still experiencing severe headaches and complains that he cannot see from his left eye, according to his mother, Devika Persaud.

Boodram was discharged from the hospital two Fridays ago after doctors said that his condition was improving. However, she says, he is suffering from severe headaches and she suspects that his left eye had been damaged as he says that he cannot see through it.

The mother is uncertain of what to do next because of her limited finances.
