Mentally Challenged Child Records Bullying - Taken to Court

[VinWarrior]

I needed to do this for my own sanity, word needs to get around about this case, and we need to support kids like this and show how corrupt our systems are and what we need to do about it. If stories about Bullying are uncomfortable to you, fine, but I encourage you to share this article with anyone you know, this needs to get out into public eye. Thank you for reading. I plead Moderators not to take this thread down, this is a story that needs to be seen and shared so things like this never happen.

 

 

A Pennsylvania Sophomore student who had learning disabilities had for quite a while been receiving bullying and harassment by fellow students in his class. The boy had gone to teachers and his peers but oddly enough, nothing was done to the bullies, the case was not even looked at thoroughly. No charges were ever pressed, no talking to's, the issue seemed to slip under despite it being reported. The boy had found a way to prove it though, when he recorded a 7 minute long audio clip of the harassment, as well as confirmation of a teacher being on-hand and viewing the situation, but doing nothing about it. The bullies could be heard insulting and attacking the boy, as well as harming him physically with a hard book smacked over his head. When he recorded the physical and emotion toll, he brought it to his mother, whom was enraged and spoke to the principal. 

 

The story however continues when the principal calls police not on the bullies, but on the boy with Mental Disabilities, and pressed charges on only the boy for, "Wire-Tapping". The case was brought to court and the judge ruled in favor of the principal, the bullies still with no consequences and the abused boy now with charges on his head. The consequence however was lessened to just Disorderly Conduct from the Mentally Disabled boy. The bullies have since had no proper punishment and the boy and his mother now attempt to appeal the case.

 

Please spread this story far and wide, and support the boy and his mother. Leave thoughts below, so long as they are civil, mature, and respectful. Thanks for reading.

It's a shame that there are still places in the world that tolerate this behavior. Good find Edward!

This angers more than anything....

 

But this also proves my point on really when you look at it real hard it is not that good of a place.

 

 

I one day hope stuff like this shall change.

A story like this makes me glad I'm graduating this coming June. I never have been directly bullied, but I have been targeted once or twice. It's a really awful feeling, to be degraded because of who you are. I have seen it so many times before and even up into my senior year I see it projected at people. It seems after years and years of it, it seems to have slipped into the back of my mind. This story reminded me of that gut wrenching feeling of being singled out for no purpose other than to make your learning life a living hell. It's truly a pain like no other, that I wouldn't wish upon anyone. 

 

I pray for this kid, I hope things come through for him.

I have discussed this in my law class. It is completely insane how it's going to court. But the kids not going to win, everyone. It's the American government, I mean come on a governor made up skirt photos legal without consent. This is is indeed illegal wire-tapping. The only way he can win is claiming infancy.

All I can say is What The Hell?!

 

How is this even... I can't... Eh???

 

Good find Edward.

This is absolutely horrible, this proves my point about how no teachers ever deal with bullying properly. This is absolutely shameful, that's what it is, this has to be the most awful school stories I've ever seen . How does a boy with learning difficulties deserve this..... FOR BEING BULLIED!

Is this how the American Judicial system works?

 

I'm never going there again.
