“I apologise to every child who was bullied,” Prime Minister Stuart Young said as he committed to addressing the issue of bullying in society.

He made the statement at his first post-Cabinet media briefing on March 20 at Whitehall, as concerns continued to be raised about reports of Young bullying a classmate, Imran Khan, in 1992 while they were both at St Mary’s College.

The reports surfaced the day after Young was sworn in on March 17, via a post by Khan’s sister, and thereafter with photos of clippings from the TT Mirror.
