Bullies Kill

If you haven’t read about the beating that a (Special Ed) student received on the school bus I want to tell you a little about it. Evidently a 17 year old thought it was cool to beat a student that could not defend himself, while others were videotaping the unprovoked attack.

When the bus driver tried to stop the attack, the students that were taping the beating pushed the driver aside.

The young man suffered a concussion, chipped teeth, and problems with his jaw.

The student accused of the assault has been suspended.

I want to know is that all ! He gets suspended?

Just so you know why I am so angry, my son was beaten on a school bus and had a massive cerebral hemorrhage the next morning, and died 16 days later. Tony never regained conciseness. Gayla, or I never had the chance to say good by, or for him to hear us say I love you.

Tony had a kidney diseases and this caused him to be on medication that in turn causes extreme weight gain. Everyone loved him; he was a gentle soul without a mean bone in his body. He did not always get to go to school, because of spending a lot of time in the hospital.

For a year before the beating he was in remission and was thrilled because he thought was normal, and could go to school like everyone else. He new his limitations and followed them.

The bully grabbed him up out of his seat and started to beat him, because he was (FAT ) Tony fell back into his seat when the bully turned a class ring around, and beat him unmercifully in the back of his head.

Other students tried to stop the bully to no avail. The bus driver said he could not police everyone on the bus therefore my son is dead.

If you have a child that bullies please do something to stop them. If your child is suffering the effects of a bully please do something before you to lose a child.

    Thank you so much. When the story of another beating on a school bus made the news I thought I had to say something. When will we lean to except each other?

    Sorry to hear your story - that’s really terrible. I think kids should think smarter, but I have to also say I think parents have some major parenting issues. It seems to get worse each and every day. The other day a six year old threatened my seven year old with a lighter! A SIX year old. That’s so stupid. And it doesn’t end there. Kids around here under 10 steal, hit, and do all kinds of lame stuff.

    Of course I stormed the six year old’s mom and told her, and yet, she did nothing. Her son is still outside. I’m way child centered when it comes to parenting. I’m all about child rights, but if Cedar (my son) pulled some crap like threatening someone with a lighter, he’d be stuck inside for at least a month. Period. You don’t hurt others, or even threaten IMO. Parents need to start parenting their children. I’m so frustrated with other kids parents right now, that it’s not even funny.

Got something to say?
