Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 24538, member: 2262"] School Closes After Girl Dies. A school in Soroti City is closed. It will not open again soon. This is because a little girl died there. She was only six years old. Her name was Joan Faith Apio. Joan's body was found in the school toilet. She had a big cut on her neck. She had just started going to the school three days before. The school worker who looks after the children talked to Joan's twin sister. The sister said she did not know where Joan went. Their mother was very sad to hear Joan died. "I wish I did not send my child to this school," the mother said. "I would still have her if she stayed home. I gave the school all the money already. Then they told me my girl is dead." Many other parents were angry. About 700 of them came to the school. They wanted to get their children out, so they shouted at the school workers. One mother, Caroline Anyeso, has three children at the school. She wants the school to tell her what happened. She said, "The school has a big fence and guards. How can a child die there, and no one knows what happened?" The person in charge of the city told the school to close. Her name is Clare Ayipo. She is the Deputy Resident City Commissioner (RCC). She said parents must show who they are to get their children. The police are asking questions to five people who work at the school. They took the school director, the headteacher, the school matron, and two teachers. The top police officer, Collins Keith Karugaba, said everyone must stay calm. He said if parents fight, it will make things worse. There are still children inside the school. The police said they were working hard to find out how the little girl died. They want the parents to know they will find the answer. It is a very sad time for everyone. They all want to know what happened to Joan. [/QUOTE]
