Indiana Boy, 10, kills himself over school bullying

[Jarlaxle]

Most children are not born with character

It has to be instilled in them over time

They learn it from the culture they grow up in

Even the most timid child can be taught to stand up for themselves

Better to teach th to use a garotte.

This is gut wrenching. Much like school shootings, school bullying persists no matter how many deaths continue to rise. Principals, administrators, teachers, aids, staff, bus drivers - all need to be active listeners and report bullying as they see them. Students engaged in bullying as well as their parents need to be held accountable and their needs to be consequences;,for example, school suspension and mandatory sensitivity training plus a fine.

How

You've set up a false binary. Try again.

What is false?

Your passivity did not save the boy from suicide

Fighting back would have

No

Just sue the teachers personally

From a false binary to a straw man.

You are mumbling gibberish

Why didn't the bullies' parents whip their asses?

Talk to cops...

30 years ago...they pull over a kid and take him to a cell.....they say.....beat me with your nightstick, but please don't call my parents....it's only going to be worse.

10 years ago....go ahead call my parents....calls parents.....NOT MY BILLY.......I don't care what you have on tape, my sone would never do that.

Yeah, it's AWFUL that psycho cops can't torture children anymore.

I asked you a question and you did not or could not answer

School discipline is set by the school district. School choice would do nothing if the child remained in the same district.

Why should all public and private schools be subject to a centralized bureaucracy?

Kids are cruel.

You set up a false binary.

Its not a false “binary”

I wish libs would just use plain language instead of speaking Liberish

The lib educators were useless

Teaching the boy to fight back instead of passively accepting his victimhood would have saved him and he’d be alive today

 

[Zincwarrior]

Call out the biggest boy and hurt him

You may not win the fight, but if you can inflict pain on one the others will back off

Unless he kills you of course.

 

[Mac-7]

Unless he kills you of course.

Hopefully not

But considering how this story ended what is there to lose?

 

[2aguy]

Why cant they fight back?

Its easy for us to talk since it didnt happen to our child

But for the benefit of other parents how about enrolling the boy in a martial arts class?

Tell him its ok to punch a bully in the nose or kick him in the nuts

He may not win the fight, but chances are the bullies will stop picking on him

The best tactic is to get a lawyer.....and threaten to sue the administrators personally......

 

[Jarlaxle]

Of course it is. If you do not understand what that means, just ask. Never be afraid to educate yourself!

Gibberish.

The lib educators were useless

No shit.

Teaching the boy to fight back instead of passively accepting his victimhood would have saved him and he’d be alive today

And here, you restate your false binary. Since I clearly need to lead you by the nose: those were NOT the only options!

 

[Jarlaxle]

Unless he kills you of course.

Or worse.
