she urges parents to 'teach your kids to be kind'

The parents of bullies will passionately insist that their little angels have always been taught to be kind and are unfailingly kind. More effective to teach all kids to be less sensitive to what other kids say, and to learn to defend themselves if the bullying turns physical.

What is wrong with kids today?

They are raised in the presence of Socialism.

I do wonder of a bad conscience does haunt those responsible for such tragedies. I suspect, not much. As a boy I remember hearing an older man, in a barber shop conversation, recall being directly involved, when he was young, in a lynching that later turned out was of an innocent negro. He had no apologies and said the man lynched was strung up because of his universally bad reputation, so even if he was innocent of the crime of rape killing him was a generally good thing for the community. And the real rapist was caught , tried, and executed , so the event was like a rwofer for the town.

What EXACTLY was the “bullying”?

It is a too easy slippery slope to demonize and hammer punish eternal school age interactions.

> Time for wrongful death suit. <

I totally agree. I’m sure that in the principal’s handbook one of the listed duties is to provide students with a safe learning environment. That obviously did not happen here.

Sue the principal. Sue the superintendent for not properly supervising the principal. And sue the school board for not supervising the both of them.

Maybe, just maybe, that will get their attention.

If he had been bullied for years, as the mom says, did the school know about it? Did she know who these bullies are? The article leaves out this information. Seems like she was pretty much a pacifist in all of this, and it didn’t end well.

The article never does get that specific.
Maybe the reporter didn’t even ask the Mom what was being ridiculed, because the suicide just happened.
Even still, some questions need to be asked.
She was strong enough to give this interview for public release (I wouldn’t have been able to interview, not this early), so tell us what was going on.

“A parent of a bullied kid should a registered letter describing the situation to the principal. “

Not good enough. They should send it to all of his teachers, to the principal, to everyone on the school board, and and to the general counsel. Each letter should say “share this with your general counsel”. It should be sent registered mail, certified mail, and regular mail with a certificate of mailing. Send a hundred, two hundred.

Put right in the letter the part of the law that you will use against them to put each of them in their own personal hell foreover if they don’t fix it. Otherwise they’re going to say “we didn’t know. No one told us.” School administrations are experts at excuses. You have to remove them all, all at once.

You think that adultery and sex as a form of revenge is something to brag about?

Get any good rapes, molestations, or gropes in over the years too?

You didn’t get the last laugh. God will. Sicko.

Teach your kids to be kind, but able and willing to throat-punch bullies in defense of themselves or others.

> When I was a kid, bullying was just a part of life at school. Some kids are just jerks. <

It’s different today. As I noted in another post, bullies often run in packs today. A pack will jump a kid in a stairwell or in a lavatory. Maybe work him over for a minute or two, then pour a carton of milk on him.

It’s not like Opie staring down a bully on ‘The Andy Griffith Show’.

The carton of milk thing was popular in the urban high school where I taught. We teachers knew about it, and reported it over and over again. The weak and woke administrators just didn’t care. They had different priorities.

Quick side story: I was teaching one day when I heard yelling in a stairwell near my classroom. I ran out of my room and caught a gang of bullies shoving a little kid around. I forcefully broke it up, and wrote a report naming names.

The principal called me in, and told me to never leave my class unattended again. I was the one who got in trouble.

"What is wrong with kids today?"

The kids are OK if they get just a little guidance... But the animals, that's another story..
