In a statement issued to his Facebook profile, Young stated:

"The issue of bullying in this country is unfortunately real and one that I take very seriously as a father and now as Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago.

It is deeply unfortunate that an incident which occurred when I was a teenaged school boy has resurfaced in a way that does not allow for a full and fair discussion. This incident was traumatic for everyone involved.
