The distraught dad whose 12-year-old son died after being attacked at school over what may have been a $1 dare was overcome with grief Saturday — and blamed the boy’s classmates.
“They beat my son in the school. They kill him,” Romain Vilsaint, 59, sobbed, speaking in Creole as a neighbor translated. “Oh God, I lost my son, I lost my son.”
His family said the boy complained of a headache Wednesday, but didn’t tell them until later he was jumped by two kids. They don’t know where or what sparked the incident.
He went to school Thursday, where he was hit in the head by a kid allegedly paid a buck by a classmate. He spent the day in the nurse’s office complaining of a terrible headache.
Vilsaint played the voicemail his son left him from the nurse’s office:
“Hello Daddy,” Romy said in English. He continued in Creole, telling his dad he had “a huge headache” and that there was a guy who “hit me real hard” in the back of his head.
Romy Vilsaint was barely conscious at the family’s Flatbush home Friday and was taken to Kings County Hospital where he died. The NYPD is investigating.
A police source said there was no initial indication of criminality.
The Medical Examiner said Saturday that the cause and manner of Romy’s death was “pending further studies, but there is no trauma.”
For Romy’s father, an immigrant from Haiti, the death had an extra layer of tragedy. His older son died in a motorcycle accident in Haiti in 2018.
“He is my only son, only one,” he said of Romy, who had three older sisters — two in the US and one in Haiti — and younger twin sisters who live in Haiti with their mom.

I read it a couple days ago. It sounds suspicious to me.
Well see how it turns out. Either way, cute little boy dead before his time.
NYC where currently they are teaching kids even in private schools to hate each other because of race. Gee whiz, what could have sparked this?
Sorry some one tell me why remote learning isn’t better. Kids can’t be with their friends (unless its after school, which technically outside of lunch and between classes can be with them anyways), but apparently can’t be protected by their enemies trying to make a buck, literally.
Sounds like a case of the “knockout game.”
I guess the victim was lying before he died, then. Seems consistent with a brain bleed, but the 12-year-old victim of a knockout game or whatever probably made the whole thing up.
My heart aches for this man.

No trauma? Bull! There may be no visible trauma but certainly there will be brain trauma. These disgusting idiots had better be doing an autopsy because this was definitely a homicide.
I wonder if the school nurse knew he had been hit in the head.
Maybe no obvious trauma.
Romain Vilsaint, M ap priye pou ou.
He lost another son in a motorcycle crash in Haiti three years ago.
In tears. How can anyone live through the vicious murder of a smart and adorable young son?

Mine too! OMG.
Subhuman ferrals.
I kkow someone who was in a car accident resulting in a cut on the head. Never lost conciousness. Four days later they had to drill holes in his skull to relieve the pressure from the hematoma. He nearly died.
I’d kill the two punks and their families.
“I wonder if the school nurse knew he had been hit in the head.”

With a near certainty she did. And equally certain she knew that a sucker punch can kill an adult male and therefore could also kill a little boy.
I knew a family whose 12yo was punched in the back of the head. Fortunately, the child was OK, but the school principal did not want police involved because he worried about bad publicity. The parents reported it to police, anyway, but... Makes you wonder how many cases are swept under the rug.
