According to Vedz, Santos claimed that Ezra trash talked him during a basketball game held at the international school. Santos who currently goes to Makati Medical Center College and a visitor to the school then waited for Ezra at the school’s parking lot and beat him.

Santos reportedly threw several punches and kicks even after Ezra apologized for “trash talking” and was already down on the parking lot’s floor.

Here is her complete post:

This is Jean Christopher Santos [with picture attachment]. He beat up my 12 year old nephew Ezra for no reason. If you know him, beware of him, you might be his next victim. What he did was extremely evil and uncalled for. I took note of our mutual friends and I know now who they are. Edit(from statements):

Jean claims that Ezra was trash talking him. But all Ezra did was cheer for SISC, my nephew didnt even know the guy.

He waited for Ezra in the parking lot to beat him up. Ezra said sorry and that nothing was meant to offend Jean(Duh, he did not know who he was). Though Ezra apologized for something he didn’t do, Jean still threw a punch at him. Ezra NEVER FOUGHT BACK but Jean still continued to beat him up until he dropped on the floor HE STILL DID NOT STOP, Jean still kicked him multiple times. Just typing the story just makes me sick to my stomach. With reason or not, no person above 18 years of age with the right mind would beat up a 12 year old. This is really sad. We have alot of witnesses on our side to prove that Ezra did not do anything to the guy. Jean was just so paranoid, but that is no valid reason to beat up a 12 year old.

Barangay officials became involved after Ezra already took a beating, but they weren’t able to hold Santos according to Vedz.

“His mom begged to just let him be but we stood firm to go on with the case, so she ran away with him. Negligence of brgy. Officials. Or did they made him escape? Now, he’s gonna face a greater offense,” Aurazeilie Cervas, a relative of Ezra said in Facebook.

Ezra’s side also says that Santos is already a wanted criminal.

“We also have his mugshots and his records. I have his friend’s acct too, the son of the doctor- medico legal, who was with him last night believed to have helped him escape his arresting officer,” Cervas added.

“Just typing the story just makes me sick to my stomach. With reason or not, no person above 18 years of age with the right mind would beat up a 12 year old. This is really sad,” Vedz added.

The victim’s party also criticized the school for its lack of securities.

SISC is the worst school I have ever studied in. An International School with extremely poor security. With what happened to Ezra, we will not only press charges against the outsider you’ve let in, but also to the school and security agency.

I could not accept what happened to my dear nephew, because it is too much. He did not do anything to hurt the outsider, but that outsider hurt him. Ezra had no fault, it’s SISC’s fault.

We have contacted Makati Medical Center College and Southville International School and Colleges for their comments.

According to a Facebook comment, Santos already deactivated his Facebook account but we’ll be working to get his side of the story.

UPDATE: We Interviewed Ezra’s relative and learned more about the incident.
