It happens in private and public schools and in playgrounds, boys and girls almost everywhere. It happens with adults. Yes, the school can protect the young person during school hours and even make the parents aware that their kid is bullying someone weaker, but that is only a temporary fix IMHO. The school and parents can't be everywhere. So, I believe education on bullying, starting at the lowest grades through 12th grade, might be one answer. And I don't mean one school assembly every year. I'm talking serious education. We need a full assault on undoing what social media has done. This notion of being "disrespected". I would like to know where the hell was the bus driver and aide when the young man was bullied. No cameras on board? The only thing I can tell the parents of Sammy is that he is protected and happy beyond belief in his new heavenly home. Maybe that may be a comfort, maybe not.
