Thursday, May 8, 2014. PATRICK E. JONES Reporting: Some family members of a primary school girl from the Maya Mopan area of Belmopan were  shocked this afternoon to learn that their pre-teen daughter was the victim of what they originally thought was a traffic accident this morning.

So I called the principal of the school to call her parents and meet me at the hospital. I called back the principal and ask if she have notify her parents she said yes they are on their way.”
