Recently I quit a job because several of the employees continued to harass me by making comments about the websites that I frequented.

How would they know what websites I frequented and what screen names I used and what was being said in a gaming environment where I was the only one that knew what was being said unless the places where I was using the WiFi services were collecting such information to coerce me into thinking and believing how they thought I should believe.

Now why would this be concurring if such people were not bullying in an attempt to make others live a simple life because of their lack of an education of which because of their own fault they have fallen behind the curve of life in not being able to keep up with society and can only do limited things?

Sure they might have done well in High School but where did that High School diploma get them? Living a controlled life that they were not able to get out of so now they bully others to force them to live the same lifestyle. A lifestyle that has kept them from experiencing all that life has too offer.

And guess where the bullying of the employees took place at

The first one was Koch Knight In Canton, Ohio

The second place was by a Conservative Call Center in Minerva, Ohio.

Communists to the core.

All my life I've either been working with or around children. In every situation that I have come across whenever there is a special needs child, kids are either picking on them or excluding them (shunning) or adults are openly showing their disdain or excluding them too. This doesn't apply to kids in wheelchairs or with special equipment though. I don't know why people do this, show so much hatred for someone who they think is not "normal" and wish that person either never existed, would be a shut in, or would die (I've heard their conversations). They seem to take it as some sort of personal affront.....so crazy... Now that I have my own special needs kid, there is no way in hell I'm going to put him in public school (homeschooling), and no way in hell he is going anywhere alone without a family member. I also go to every therapy session he has...I've seen even therapists almost loose it (I noticed by their facial expressions) but (I know they) don't because I'm there. I don't blame them, because they are only human and not saints and not his mother, so it is hard to deal with, but that is precisely why I think there should always be one other adult/guardian/family member to help the teacher/therapist get a hold on themselves......Which reminds me......in our area there was a school therapist who sued a family for what their special needs kid did (threw a tantrum and she got hit by a small object, a book or something). She obviously took it personally, because the conditions that the kid had causes violent outbursts. As a therapist she knows (or should know) that and should have been prepared. I seriously doubt she won her case, but I don't know what the outcome was. She did however face some serious backlash from the community for her suit.

Makes you wonder how much the parents of the bully's have a pack with the school & etc to get the charges dropped? There should be some kind of punishment for the kids who bully kids & cause them to kill themselves people are in jail for commiting lesser crimes.

Regardless of the law and its interpretation by the judge, what I find absolutly sick about this part of things is that school district officials were "pleased". They shouldn't have been pleased, they should be looking to get the laws changed so that they can actually DO SOMETHING about misconduct in the schools.

Of course, lots has changed since we took the paddle away from the vice principals across the country...

The school administrators deal with bullying selectively. If the bullies are children of rich and influential parents, or are "cheerleaders" (usually one and the same), or footbal players, etc, the victims' complaints are ignored. If the bullies are "poor" kids, whom the administrators regard to be "trailer trash", or who have no power in their family, they are severely punished, including expulsion and prosecution. It all depends upon which group is in a position of power.

When I went to school, there were always bullies, and alway victims. They seemed to have a natural affinity for one another. When the victim fought back, and put some serious hurting on the bully, the bullying usually stopped. It worked for me, and once they are aware that when it comes to bullying there is a price to be paid, the instinct for self preservation usually kicks in. I am a fairly short person, but have instilled fear in much larger people. Of course, back then, it was all settled with fists and feet, whereas nowadays, knives and guns seem to be moving to prominence.

Terrible that this kid had to be bullied. Schools can have parents charged and fined for truancy because they miss out on funding if their kid is not in school, but the school cant work hard to stop children from being bullied. We have put too much power in the hands of schools and seriously reduced holding them accountable for their actions.

I think that one has to remember that kid's actions are learned . Bullying is just one more of the deadly symptoms facing our race. Just another of the little acts of terrorism we all do everyday. I see it even in posts here on line. Everyone is always looking somewhere else, or someone else to blame for our problems. Trouble is, we should just be looking in a mirror. Everytime you spit on a public surface, cut someone off in traffic, give someone the finger, say a cross word, dump your ashtray on the street, we are all showing our true selves, and we ARE the problem. Until we learn to act for the betterment of others instead of the 7 deadly sins, things are just going to get worse....

The world is all about ME ME ME!

It is win at any cost and any way you can. I want the best and I want it now!!

Kids

And people still wonder why kids are bringing guns to school. All bullies and their parents should be put to death.

so when is it going to be the bullies turn to get his hands bound and a piece of rebar stuck up his ass? i say it's high time the kids that are getting picked on....maybe it's time to take a self defense class and turn the tables on these punks. a little school yard beat down is maybe what needs to happen and these punks will wake up and realize they can't push people around anymore?

what happen to the good old days when fights were settled with fists and not guns. bunch of pussies i say all these so called "gang members" are!! hide behind antimidation..

Instead of blaming the school, (not that there isn’t blame)
lets nail the bullies and the bullies parents.
Maybe when the bully gets “guided” from school and “guided” from home,
the behavior may change. The kid had to
learn this behavior from someone so let’s look at the bullies parents for some
responsibility for these actions. By the
way, I am a Middle School teacher.

So. We're going to keep terrorists, on a global scale, from carrying out an attack on U.S. soil.

But we can't manage to supervise groups of minors within fixed settings and, shockingly, a good number of people don't think we could even if we wanted to.

It all comes back to the parents....I can't even imagine what would have happened to me if the school had called and told my parents I was bullying. but I guarantee you they would have thanked the school not sued them.

I'm very sorry to this family for the loss of their child. That being said.

I'm so very tired of all the oh my kid got bullied crap. Look at your selves and see the blame. I'm 38 years old and grew up in a large northern county in western PA. For the duration of my school years there was no (zero tolerance policy) and it was the brood stroke of this act that parents demanded be instated that has brought about the increased suicide rate in school age kids. This brood policy needs to be reworked and more well defined. Yes, there should be zero tolerance for kids bring weapons to school. However, with the policy that parents demanded be enacted a common fist fight is grounds for not only expulsion from school but subject to criminal charges as well. My point, I grew up in a county with more then 15 different school districts and from 1980- 1992 there were 2 suicides in school aged kids...neither was related to bullying. We have used zero tolerance polices to keep our children defenseless. The bullies bully without care of the outcome while the rest who have common sense fear them because they fear the consequences of there actions. When children are allowed to stand up for themselves they feel a sense of pride in being self reliant. Rather then running for mommies skirts of telling a teacher. When kids are bullied the consequences of telling on the bully are often perceived as to high a risk. Rather then offer a measure of protection the act of telling on the bully instead often results in greater harm both mentally and physically to the bullied student. Untie the kids hands, let them stand up and defend themselves. When I was in school there was punishment for fighting both in-school and out of school suspensions. and those punishments worked both to stop bullying and curb the fighting. So it solved both problems. And another way to stop the bullying, return corporal punishment to school as well as parents. I'm a perfectly functioning, responsible, law abiding person, and when I did wrong; my school principal paddled me and when I got home I got it again from one of my parents. And I am more then willing to bet that anyone over the age of 35 here was treated much the same. And if you are honest with yourself and others I'm sure you will see my point.

Do parents have the right or obligation to protect their kids? This child was not able to defend him self and it had been going on for years. I would hope my parents would listen to me and understood when I would tell them I'm being bullied and the teachers won't stand up for me. Parents seem to me that they think that their child should be able to handle things on his/her own. They shouldn't be left to deal with things like this because they don't have the know how in dealing with it. The schools need to do more and some do. If it means having children remain in one room and the teachers change rooms then that is how it should be. If it means children get lead to and from class rooms then that should be done. If it's not possible then for god sake take the time to lead the one that needs it to his next class. There is no reason a child should be bullied.

The Judge needs to have his kid bullied. Then he can understand what the parents of bullied children go through. The Judge sounds just as much a bully as the kids in the school. What an @!$%#. Yeah I said it.

So America is to think the parents did not have a responsibility to protect their own son, but the school did. I agree with the judge, the school is not liable for your child's safety beyond the scope of their capability. If the parents knew their child was being bullied, why didn't they take steps in either changing schools, educating him/her at home or finding alternative educational methods. Schools hands are basically tied today on what they can and cannot do. Everytime something goes wrong its the school fault, when is going to be the parents fault. A child spends more time with their parents than they do in school. I'm sure my son was bullied, but we did not have the electronic devices today that makes bullying never ending.

I have inside knowledge of this incident because I live 20 miles away in GA. The Longs were a wonderful family. They both worked and could not afford better for their child than public school. After they buried their son, the bullies took photographs of the grave and used them to taunt the other children. Nothing was done. Children are supposed to learn under these conditions? The teachers cannot get involved because of school regs and laws. Some just don't even care. It is on the local news reports Ms. Long was called a b*tch for complaining to the school prinicipal. If her son missed, she would go to jail and/or face stiff fines for truancy. The state does not care. If people want to solve this problem vote for School Choice (voucher checks from taxes to cover tuition to more expensive alternate schools). Religion is not an issue. It can be taught for a penny donation. What about the evolution taught by taxes of homeschoolers and private schoolers? I guess that is alright. You choose your grocer/doctor/gas station. School for your child is just as important. If you don't agree, then take that rotten produce, bad service, pay full price and just shut up about it next time.

School officials were please with the outcome... yeah, right, I just bet they were.

A kid will do whatever he feels like doing. If a kid is a bully he will make life miserable for another kid because he enjoys it. Bullies are not all there and most need help because they don't know how to get along with other people as equals. When a kid is being bullied at school the school has to take some action and make the parents aware that their kid is a half-azzed bully. It is up to the parents first to straighten the kid out, not to defend him or her. The school has to be part of it too although the school has to constantly cover it's butt because of the ACLU and lawsuits etc. The most important thing a kid can have in life is a parent who wants him to be a good citizen first, not a millionaire, or a star of any kind but a decent, honest human being, the rest will fall into place. In my honest opinion bullies eat sh1t with a spoon.

Be interesting to know if the judge was funded by NEA or not; was the judge appointed or elected? Who funded the campaign? Be interesting to know.

The school can not be held liable in any way shape or form here. You, the parents; took from the school the right to discipline your children and not you want to blame them when your kids acts the fool? That is ridiculous on so many levels. Remember, it was the parents who demanded the removal of corporal punishment from schools, not the schools demanding it.

It is all about grades and money too. The schools say for parents to teach morals at home but inflate grades and expect parents/kids to bring in extra money (bake sales, gift wrap, etc.) to line their pockets. They know who has bucks, and time to donate. The kids with the fantastic grades, PTO moms can do whatever they want. The anti-bullying campaign is just window dressing. Believe me it will get a lot worse if steps are not taken to allow kids to choose alternate schools that can work with them.

Go back and read my posts. They explain why the kid could only go to that school. Also if you change schools too much the bullies follow them through the grapevine, sort of like Stephen King. Oh, but what would you know? Always fun to side with the winner esp if its a big powerful corp like NEA and the teacher's union. Hope you get a few neighborhood bullies at your door. When you feel scared and don't have the money to move, Mr. Rich Man, and the police won't help, remember your own words.

I notice the parents get their advice from "super lesbian",....maybe they need to look in a mirror and ask THEMSELVES where THEY went wrong.
