FULL TITLE: Shocking video shows how boy, eight, was assaulted and left unconscious on a school bathroom floor while classmates kicked and laughed at him for FIVE MINUTES - two days before he committed suicide
Cincinnati school officials have released disturbing surveillance video which reveals how a January 24 locker room assault left an eight-year-old unconscious two days before he hanged himself.
The video, shot from a hallway camera at Carson Elementary School shows Gabriel Taye being pulled to the ground by another student in a bathroom and left lying for over five minutes while other boys crowd over his body and kick and prod him.
Eventually, school officials come to his aid, but Gabriel's mother says they did not tell her that her son had been assaulted or he had lost consciousness.
Now investigators are trying to determine if the bullying led to his suicide and whether criminal charges should be brought.

ARTH PING
OHIO PING
The assailant appears to be at least a foot taller than the victim.
A 12 year-old 3rd grader possibly?
The Cincinnati Public Schools' press-release writer is pretty snarky. Good for him!
Which is why this crap has taken the existence of cameras in order for society to address it.
No amount of education can keep people like the coroner here from living in a fantasy world. But video can make reality clear to those not as strongly opposed to denying it.
Duuuhhh! Yes and yes.
I do believe Lord of the Flies is more accurate. Even the talking gorillas, chimps, and orangutans did not prey on their own kind. Lord of the Flies descended into tribal savagery.
A nice looking little kid. That was probably the reason the thugs attacked him. Very sad.
OHIO PING!!!

Thanks, Morgana
Makes you wonder...poor kid.
And yet we will be told that black youth have more to fear from white cops.
You really think the bullying might have contributed to his death??????????????????? Sue the school system and every boy around him for everything they have. Put them all in the street where they belong.
Give them the electric chair.
OR
Allow the parents of the dead kid to beat the little heathens to within a millimeter of their lives.
Heartbreaking. That poor kid.
“Now investigators are trying to determine if the bullying led to his suicide and whether criminal charges should be brought. . . “
How hard do you have to investigate such a thing?
The School Teachers do care though.
They care about their fat pension, fat health plan, and mega salary. Suicide boy was collateral damage.
Fact is, truancy cops and social ‘crats would drag the hurting child back into school to collect on his tax per capita.
Reality folks, reality.
Of course, without government schools we would have no social cohesion. There would be no patriotism. There would be religious sectarianism. There would be no civil society.
The death of a few eight-year-olds is a small price to pay.
Why should the state and local taxpayers be punished? Sue the school officials and employees personally. THAT would make a difference in their behaviors. Making them grab for more at the government trough does nothing.
