MANILA, Philippines — Senator Leila de Lima on Saturday raised her concern over the student involved in a bullying incident, saying the child’s form of abuse must be investigated. ADVERTISEMENT“And that’s the important thing to investigate: where or why is a child so young exposed to such level of abuse? The senator also said parents must be accountable to their child’s behavior which concerns a problem in the society. “When the child’s behavior hurts another and exposes a problem that society would have to deal with, the parents become accountable to others and to society,” De Lima said.
