Little Boy By The Road

This morning as I was driving to work, I passed by an Islamic school. I saw a disturbing sight; this small boy in uniform crying on the side of the road. He seemed like he wanted to flee the school compound but was being held back by some other boys from the school. Bigger boys. There were 4 of them. I think there were some female students too, but they just seemed to be spectators.

I can still that small boy in my mind. I wonder what he was doing near the school's gate and why he was crying. The other boys didn't seem to be hurting him, just trying to prevent him from leaving the school.

I wish I had stopped to ask what the matter was. Maybe I could have called a teacher to attention of the situation. Damn, but I was already late for work and....hmmm.

I hope the boy is ok.
