Bully, 12, investigated for rape

Post Reply New Topic

The mother is also victimizing her by sending her back to school.

sick. Just... sick.

This reminds me of Alice Munro's book Lives of Girls and Women. There's a chapter (set in the 1930s?) where at school, the boys rape a lame girl every day at recess while the other kids watch. The teachers are afraid of these boys because of how big and boisterous they are, and are rather glad when they all go off to fight in the next war. I think she based these stories on her own experiences - the kind of things that actually happened to her and her friends (or that they saw) growing up. I think stuff like this has always happened, though hopefully less often now than in the past, as society becomes less violent overall.

As far as the other kids watching and laughing, haven't you ever found yourself doing that when you didn't want to? It's hard to stand up to group pressure and takes practice.

The boy needs to be punished, underage or not. The other kids need to be taught to stand up to bullies. The girl obviously needs better protection than what's she's gotten.

(no offense, Bunni, but I have no 'herd mentality' holding me back.)

oh, gawd no! I am in there kicking and screaming too, if even to distract from what is going on, or running screaming and almost incoherent to whom ever is in charge. What are they (the mob) going to do to me they haven't already? Could I be any more ostracized than I already was?
I have memories of the big boys holding me, kicking and screaming away from such a situation one time. And more than once it was me getting the molestation. Sometimes being the shunned has its perks, and not having those unconscious herd mentality promptings frees me from not having to have sleepless nights of guilt of what I 'should have done.'

Sometimes I just wonder how kids as young as 11 and 12 can be so evil. I really could care less that the poor girl has AS - this is wrong, sick, and terrifying no matter who it happens to. This is schoolyard bullying at its worst, and what's worse is that the boy isn't having his head examined and that the girl's mother has kept sending her to school.

I seriously am crossing my fingers and wishing the best to this girl. No one should have to have to go through something like that at all, whether they're on the spectrum or not. And there are a hundred more problems with this (namely: where are the teachers?) that it just makes me extremely uncomfortable.

Oh, the world is so messed up.

If I ruled the world, this kid would burn. At the stake.

Now why would any sensible person think that? The only reason why any of the people in this story wouldn't take the situation as seriously as they should've is because they think the bully didn't realize what he was doing. But this is not reason enough to take this case so lightly. There are (arguably) very few crimes worse than the rape or molesting of anyone, let alone a young child.

Aaaarrrrrrgggghhhhhhhhhhh!

That's what my brain said when I read this.

god, thats not creamy at all...

How horrible for that girl. I hope she gets over it because I was bullied (not quite so badly) at school, and 6 years on I still have nightmares about the day they tried to set my long hair on fire. I don't think that the psychologist actually understands ritalin nor what it does. It merely helps kids with AD/HD to concentrate, but this kid sounds like he has conduct disorder or something. Why should the AS girl have to live in fear while this psycho continues to terrorise the other kids? Don't they have youth offender centres in this place where they are?

that boy will be found dead somewhere in the river on day so dont worry i dont think even 1 guy agree's with that crapp ritalin my ass he didnt even take it

Yikes! that is exactly how my cousins wanted to do away with the family embarrassment that was ME! Only they took me to the middle of a lake in a row boat. .tricked me into going into the water, then rowed away. . .

and I never did ANYthing like the bully in the news article.
