Whoa! What a story! The article's right in saying that girl is a hero, though I dislike what happened to both of them as a result Still, that girl is very bold, and I hope the boy's doing alright!

Congratulations to that girl. She's very kind and brave. But it's an utter disgrace that the school officials were so incompetent and indifferent that her father had to pull her from school.

What are boys doing hitting a girl especially a much younger one? Some real men right there.

if only that whole school had students just like that girl, none of this would've happened. how do we inculcate such evolved and mature values in more of our children?

What a brave little girl. This almost had me tear up, because I had a protector like that during my first years in school.

Agreed, there was most certainly a hole in the school's action, that being inaction. And that's why it still goes on today, because schools don't take enough preventative measures to stop it from happening over and over. Stricter punishments are needed on the school system's part, to enforce the rules that they have laid out, otherwise those kids will never learn, and they'll only victimize others in the long run, probably for their entire lives (it's not a secret that kids without sympathy for those they bully usually end up being criminals).
Schools need to start teaching morals, responsibility, and the difference between right and wrong to these kids, preferably at an early age, so they can learn to behave like civilized human beings instead of beating up defenseless students.

The schools do nothing because too many teachers are still 4th grade bullies at heart themselves. :evil:

Schools these days don't do anything, I think largely because then they'd be admitting that they've not done their job in protecting the kids to begin with, they don't want to face a lawsuit from parents so their first priority is themselves, no-one can prove something happened on school grounds under most circumstances and so they use deniability as their sheild.
