It's a horrible shame that Eric has had to endure this abuse, first at the hands of his so-called "peers" (actually his inferiors) and then at the hands of the school bureaucracy.Mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-56439954853608839732014-10-28T15:18:45.272-04:002014-10-28T15:18:45.272-04:00I've had a child in exactly this situation, ex...I've had a child in exactly this situation, except he isnt gay. He was bullied thru school for being different, he is very smart, but socially inept and didnt mesh well with the other students. He was chased down and cornered in the shower area of the locker room and hit so hard it broke his nose, chipped a front tooth and had a mild concussion from hitting his head on the shower floor. My son also doesnt fight, he is extremely non-violent. The boy got off scott free, and our son had 2 week detention for fighting, not allowed to take gym and was given a fail for that period.<br /><br />We called the police, who after an investigation deemed our son innocent of any wrong doings, and wanted to arrest the boy who hit him. The courts let us down, and refused to carry the case forward. <br /><br />Bottom line? Schools and the courts often let down the very kids that need the most protection. I feel for this boy and his family. Payday I'll give some money to help them out.Biki Honkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06731335682679434307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-80239257854327209172014-10-28T12:03:41.538-04:002014-10-28T12:03:41.538-04:00Sickening.
