Recent pronouncements from the Office of the Prosecutor has certainly dampened the spirits of the whole Vargas family as they have fought tooth and nail for their son in the bullying case they filed in recent months. Alfred Vargas has released a statement questioning that if hard evidence and medical diagnosis wouldn't be accepted in court, they worry what message this would send especially for those who have been traumatized by such incidents.
Alfred says "While it hurts to see how our motion has been denied, and feel our efforts have been wasted, we continue to hold our heads high. We did not rely on speculation, but with testimonies from witnesses who saw our son being bullied and abused."
The believe the Office of the Prosecutor has committed an error and have filed criminal complaints against the parents for the violation of RA 7610 or the Child Abuse Law. They worry much of what precedents this may do especially for those who are victims of bullying and just suffer in silence, and wonder how this would affect the community?
They promise to not back down and exhaust all avenues and legal remedies including bringing this to the Department of Justice. They still believe in it especially for the truth they want to have. They vow to work on this case until they receive justice they deserve and calls for stronger laws and punishment for those who are bullying.
They remain unfazed.
