Brilliant. Lovely society we live in.
If he's found not guilty, how can the school be libel for what allegedly happened?
Criminal charges were filed against the bully, as far as that goes (and not far with our YOA but still charged). Schools should be held accountable in cases like these, there were people of authority in place that could have acted to stop it.
I remember being in high school, and the teachers
werent allowed to touch a student under any circumstances.
something changed ?

So let me get this straight. We can charge people for not applying due dilligence when there's and environmental accident, but teachers have to stand by and watch an assault take place without interceeding?
What the fuck is wrong with this scenario???????????????

Not in any school I went to, I've seen teachers physically pull fighters apart.
My wife is a special Ed aide and she is taught passive restraint techniques to stop kids from hitting.
There are legal ways to stop this kind of thing and the teachers should have been aware of them.
Plus alot of schools have bully campaigns these days for dealing with these situations, and they do involve physical contact to seperate kids.
<shrugs> yeah it sucks I agree with wildrosegilr but WTF? There was a teacher and assistant present. Why did they not intervene? There should be zero tollerence for this stuff. It's the bully that needs to be home schooled from now on.....see how much his parents dig that.
8 years of shit like this and a teacher never intervened that I saw. Good times.
Just to play the devils advocate here. Shouldn't the mom wait till the bully is found guilty before attempting to sue the school division?

Because the school didn't stop it. The teacher was in a position to stop it, didn't, and are accountable.

"Position to stop it" I would like to know what position that was, I have been on the receiving end of bully attacks. Often by the time a teacher has the chance to intervene the damage has already been done. Attacks can last only seconds, and bullies do NOT listen to teachers, so until I know know more details I don't think the school is responsible. Also it is near impossible for schools to deal with bullies who want to be bullies my school was unable to do anything, until me and two of my friends ended up in the hospital after we were swarmed. Even then only 2 of the 15 people who swarmed us were expelled.

our shop teacher was very clear with us. if he found us playing around unsafe equipment, he was instructed to hit, push or slam us in any way that gets us out of the unsafe condition.
And, I've seen him use that priveledge, too.
Quoting the article, friend. I wasn't there.
When I got swarmed, my school did nothing, you got lucky. Schools don't give a shit about bullying or harassment, and a lot of the time the kids have to take it on themselves to defend themselves, but when that happens, the kid defending him/herself gets fucked.

Okay, the plantiffs statement, if accurate begs the question. Why aren't the teacher and teachers assistant being charged since they allegedly watched the whole thing transpire and did nothing to stop it?
I can't help but get the feeling we're not hearing the whole story. Everything is based on the plantiff's claims, which quite obviously are being used to coroborate her law suit.
Most parents would want justice for their child before immediate monetary compensation. If she was really serious about taking the bully, the school district and the teachers to task for this incident, you'd think she'd could wait until after the trial to seek financial retribution.
