Anchor: After the tragedy that happened in Bow School, here’s more on Nasar Ahmed’s death from Mahfuza…

Concerns have been raised by a group of students in Tower Hamlets about safety within schools.  Their concern follows the death of a teenaged boy at Bow School in the borough. 

14 year-old Nasar Ahmed died from an asthma attack while in detention at the school. 

Now, his peers, are asking whether there was enough done to prevent his death. We hear more in this report from Mahfuza.  

 

Nasar was put in detention after  “intentionally” tripping over a bin as his teacher put it. CCTV footage shows Nasar pleading for forgiveness and to let him off detention.

The teacher didn’t think otherwise and kept Nasar in detention. Shortly, Nasar’s skin conditions became worse and he started suffering from an asthma attack. Nasar was taken to Royal London Hospital by ambulance where he spent four days in intensive care but passed away on Monday afternoon.

The question is, who is actually accountable of Mr. Ahmed’s death? 

The CDC says that most school-associated deaths occur during transition times – before and after the school day and during lunch. 

Could the boys who were fighting be blamed for Nasar’s death? If they didn’t fight, Nasar wouldn’t have gotten into detention, which led to his death, some say. 

Was it the condition of the place the detention was held? What most people are blaming, is the teacher who put him in detention without a doubt.
