The mother of a nine-year-old boy who was beaten and robbed of his cellphone by a man at a playground in San Fernando says she and her son have been left deeply traumatised by the attack.
This was the family’s first serious encounter with a crime, and the mother is heartbroken for her son to endure such violence at such a young age.
“I am extremely devastated. I will not allow him to return to the park and play. The target was not the child but the phone,” said the mother.
