UPDATE By Statemedia: Police say they have questioned and released a man who was stopped by security at the Golden Grove Primary School on Wednesday.
School officials were concerned when the child raised an alarm when he saw the man.
The child was reportedly alarmed because his mother has had a strained relationship with the man.
Police were called to the school, but say the man was not found with a weapon, as had been reported in some information portals.
The man reportedly told police he was seeking to make enquiries of the child after being unable to reach the child’s mother.
The man was however prevented from getting to the child, as school officials acted quickly to ensure the situation did not escalate.
The child’s mother reportedly collected him without incident. Education officials also visited the school to speak with staffers.
Investigations into the matter are ongoing.

Absolutely appalling! A parent should never threaten or harm their child
we need to make sure there’s proper support for families going through tough times to prevent incidents like this.
Omgg… Violence like this has no place in our society.
I hope the school and police are doing everything they can to ensure the child’s safety and well-being.
Where is the child’s mother??
What on earth could the child have possibly done to deserve that?
I can’t believe this is happening… Lord please Protect my child!!!!!!!!!!!
I can’t believe someone would go to such extremes, putting not only his own child in danger but also other kids and staff at Golden Grove Primary School.
Violence😤 has no place in our schools or anywhere else for that matter. Go get help Mr.!!! 🗣️
Parents need to understand that their actions have a lasting impact on their children’s well-being. I hope that nothing happens to him and he does grow with this rage like his “father”.
Is this a joke or something, this person should be in a special LUNATIC ASYLUM, we need prayer
Killing the child will not solve anything
The authorities need to act swiftly and make sure this child is safe from harm
No child deserves that.
Did the authorizes intervene?
Question is, what did the mother do to evoke this action from the ‘father’??? More in the morter than in the pestle…
Just… WOW
What on earth is happening to us humans? What causes a human to do such a thing? Regardless of what. He certainly needs help. I pray this do not have a lasting effect on that child . Jesus take the wheel. 🙏
This father lost his mind. Bringing your issues at them people school. Why he didnt deal with the mother? Sick
Wowww.. of course he’s hurting..but why he would want to harm the innocent child…God is good everytime 🙏🏾
But but but but what am I reading on antiguanewsroom this beautiful windy afternoon? Children cam go through alot of stuff
Hate need not be exhibited, when avenues exist for him to obtain the result of DNA-admissible in the family courts upon the petitioner’r request. The sadistic exhibition displayed by the aggrieved partner, who’s parental obligations is of cognitive ambiguity; would still require his tolerance; such as to let the courts decide.and render a decision; without any subjective prejudice entail.
This child is soooo innocent and guess what if it’s not his child then glad he could have help a child along life’s pathway. Pray the child grow up to be someone extraordinary in society.
Only a complete and total IDIOT would blame the child himself for not being his biological son, which is exactly why he threatened to harm the child. First of all if he is correct, isn’t the MOTHER of the child who would be of fault. This is in no way to say he should have threatened the mother instead, but it just shows the utter stupidity, lack of cognitive ability and just animalistic behavior of this so called father. To be honest it would be ashamed if he actually had any offsprings because he himself is nothing but a walking advertisement for abortion! Hope he charged and imprisoned for a very lengthy time!
In the first place, how did he get past security? Take up your issues with the mother and not the child. Sickening
De jacket to tight fe he. Nuff prablems ah rack him brains and dey addle um!
Women should be charged for given men jackets and to compensate them as well..
