dubai — A boy was expelled for committing indecent acts at a school in Dubai. The Ministry of Education said that the boy, a student at a public school, had filmed himself while kissing a younger boy. He posted the footage on social media, which immediatel­y went viral.

Parents and guardians were outraged at the incident and demanded that the perpetrato­r be discipline­d.

The elder student kissed the younger kid who seemed to be scared, and then he circulated the video on social media.

After conducting a thorough investigat­ion, the ministry revealed that the incident took place some time ago. The student was expelled as he committed a level four infraction based on the UAE’s regulation­s for student conduct.

Any student found committing one of 10 offences, including sexual abuse within school grounds, will face immediate expulsion, according to the rule.
