But a kid that young showing that much violence should be getting some serious therapy.

It's not a personal FB page run by the kid. It is one of the cause type pages and her grandmother appears to be running it.

And coddles them

Oh and shaving my head and sending it, ain't a good idea. Just lousy hair. I hope the support helps her though

I wish I had the hair quality for that. I don't. I did post a support message.

But here us the very graphic photo.



How the hell did the school miss this?

A suspension for tearing the flesh off of her head?

That boy should be expelled and thrown into a rubber room before he shoots up the school.

Kids commit suicide, or take guns to school and then commit suicide.

We as a society blame the victim and tolerate this shit

And she will be scarred for life (like every damn bully victim)

I am willing to bet, she fought back, she would have been expelled.

This case needs publicity.

The kind of plastic surgery she should have is not covered by most health plans even if they have health insurance.

You can do amazing things in a kid that is still growing.

Absolutely brutal. That kid should be sent to a psych ward, he's a massive risk for violence.

And he may need help himself.

But this can't just be ignored.

And I believe some people are just born, for lack of a better term....evil.

Not just in this case. They also need to sue parents and school districts.

Assault and asking other children to drink bleach are just harmless bullying

One day they are certain to grow out of it into well behaved adults.

Admittedly it was another kid who did it, which is different than an adult, but when a child suffers bodily harm at school it must be taken seriously.

Children should not have to take physical risks to get an education.

Frightening that a child would be that violent.

That is the type of injury you would typically see if someone's hair got caught in some type of machinery.

Hate to say it, but that child might murder someone before he is 12.
