Incidents of harassment against children with special needs continue to surface, with the latest reported in Anuradhapura. At a special school in the area, serious allegations of sexual abuse and exploitation of students have been raised. The school, run by a private board and supervised by the North Central Provincial Department of Social Services, educates around 69 children.
Police confirmed that the school’s treasurer was arrested and remanded until the 29th over accusations of abusing three male students and exploiting another. Parents, unable to tolerate the mistreatment of their speech- and hearing-impaired children, recently staged a protest against the school’s management.
