She argued that no child should attend school in fear, insisting that Javits deserved the chance to grow, pursue his dreams and live out his potential.

Her words struck at the heart of a concern many Ghanaian parents both at home and abroad have been voicing since news of the teenager's death began circulating.

Beyond calling for justice, Afia Schwarzenegger directed a sharp message at parents, urging them to pay closer attention to their children's conduct.

She drew on the high-profile American case of James and Jennifer Crumbley, the parents of a school shooter who were themselves convicted in connection with their son's actions, to make the case that parental responsibility must extend beyond the home.
