Clin­i­cal ther­a­pist and trau­ma­tol­o­gist Dr Hanif Ben­jamin says it is “quite un­for­tu­nate” to hear school vi­o­lence and bul­ly­ing be­ing politi­cised, es­pe­cial­ly at a time when the is­sue is at such a crit­i­cal stage.

“We have peo­ple talk­ing about whose chil­dren it might be, whether it’s a PNM child, a UNC child, or a who­ev­er child,” he said yes­ter­day.

He said all chil­dren be­longed to this coun­try and should be pro­tect­ed, re­gard­less of the po­lit­i­cal af­fil­i­a­tion of their par­ents or com­mu­ni­ties.
