Schoolteacher Vincent Uzomah was attacked by a 14-year-old boy at Dixons Kings Academy in Bradford last June. After the assault the boy bragged about the stabbing on Facebook. A judge ordered him to be imprisoned for up to six years. Mr Uzomah said, ‘As a Christian, I have forgiven this boy who has inflicted trauma and pain on my family and myself. It was, however, important for the law to run its course and for a strong message to be sent out, especially to kids of similar tendencies, that violence is never acceptable. Our prayer for him is that he will make use of the opportunities and support provided for him to become a changed person, making positive contributions to society. ’ The court was told the boy was described by others as ‘disruptive and a bully’ and had always disliked the teacher.
