MOTHER and son, Karen and Enoch Vanderstoop, were both bonded last Friday after being convicted, at New Amsterdam Court, in Berbice, of disorderly behaviour.

They had, initially, pleaded not guilty, before Magistrate Chandra Sohan, but changed their pleas to guilty and were made to sign bonds to keep the peace for six months.

The case, in which they were jointly charged, had been first called in July, following an incident at New Amsterdam Technical Institute (NATI) on June 8 last.

Police Lance Corporal Roberto Figueira, prosecuting, said the younger Vanderstoop was a second year student in plumbing at the institution when his mother was summoned to the office of Principal Ronald Simon, to discuss a series of matters relating to her son’s conduct.

The Prosecutor said, while being told of the student’s transgressions, the woman became hostile, loud, aggressive and abusive and the student was ordered out but he returned and, loudly, made use of profanities in derogatory remarks about Simon.
