I think the headline is misleading. I thought the kid was removed from his wheelchair and mocked by the other kids. The incident happened when school was out. The kid was at home when this happened. I think the pranksters acted stupid but it’s not a hate crime or anything like that.
“I think the pranksters acted stupid but it’s not a hate crime or anything like that.”
True about the wheelchair. But mocking his speech and body which he has no control over is pretty bad. Not a “hate crime”, though; the phrase is over used. They’re brats, probably kill birds and cats, and future prison residents.
It sounds like the students put the videos online for all to see.
Some students have committed suicide because online videos mocked them.
The students should be punished for playing with a wheelchair that a disabled student needs.
And they should be punished for mocking him online.
I hope for the best for him. He seems like a great kid.
I guess I should be in trouble too. When I was in high school, me and some friends liberated a spare wheelchair from someone’s aunt. We went to the mall and pushed each other around, did wheelies and hit curbs where the guy sitting would fall out.
Mocking the boys slurred language is incredibly stupid and heartless, but not criminal.
Also, did you notice that the writer called it HIS wheelchair when it actually belonged to the school?
