Prime Min­is­ter Stu­art Young has fi­nal­ly bro­ken his si­lence on a bul­ly­ing in­ci­dent in­volv­ing him which oc­curred some 33 years ago while he was a stu­dent at St Mary’s Col­lege in Port-of-Spain.

Young has been ac­cused by the rel­a­tives of one of his for­mer school­mates of be­ing a bul­ly, which led to the school­boy at­tack­ing him with a ba­ton in re­tal­i­a­tion.

The in­ci­dent was high­light­ed in a so­cial post hours af­ter Young was in­au­gu­rat­ed as Prime Min­is­ter last week and has since gone vi­ral, spark­ing wide­spread na­tion­al de­bate on the is­sue.
