Reply #114: "I hope the parents of the youngster also shame the parents of the perps..." [View All]

I agree with you on that 100%.

Parents absolutely have the duty to instill in their children right from wrong, but the school also has a duty to keep students safe to the best of their ability while the students are on campus. According to the article, this boy was harassed continually for 2 months so it sounds like it was something the teachers would have been aware of. That's why I question why there wasn't better supervision.

I also don't think any child should have to endure months of continual harassment in order to get an education. If the school can't provide him with a safe learning environment free from harassment then some other arrangement should have to be made for him or, better yet, for the bullies - throw them out so other students can learn in peace.
