A 16-year-old volunteer was reportedly slapped by a seven-year-old student and later attacked by the student's family. The incident took place on Oct 30 at the Ang Mo Kio branch of Beyond Social Services, a volunteer organisation that helps students from underprivileged backgrounds. The student, who wished to remain anonymous, is a teenage girl who volunteers at the centre every week and tutors primary school students, reported Shin Min Daily News. She recounted how during one of the lessons, a group of male students blocked the door to their classroom to prevent another tutor from entering. She then attempted to diffuse the situation, but unexpectedly got accused of slapping a seven-year-old student. «I didn't see her at all.
