In his reaction, the grandparents of the child Dr and Mrs. A A Anagu thanked the state government for the prompt intervention in the matter while adding that all they ever wanted was for the school to show some form of empathy for the injured. 


He said that since they have done that, they are ready to move on, letting bygones be bygones.
