White classmates pulled black girl by the neck with a rope, lawsuit alleges

[Wildtree]

Great bait post. Excellent shit posting as usual Wildtree

You're triggered, that's all.
Sorry if it rattles your cage, but there's just a difference between playing, and hurting someone like this on purpose with this method.
That was no accident.

The story says the incident was accidental.

How was it "accidental" ? The boys intentionally put it around her neck and jerked her to the ground and left her there... of course any school would claim accidental to save face and prevent any legalities as much as possible.

And the fact that the school has a history of bullying problems...


Sad reality is that private schools often tend to milk parents for money and leave students secondary. They don't want to do anything to a student if it means affecting that money flow.

He said She said is not definitive evidence of anything. It also says in like the very next paragraph that “It sounds like he may have pushed on the back of her leg to make her leg buckle, which is something the kids sometimes do. Rarely is that done out of meanness but more out of a desire for sport.”

So, a boy gets accused of attacking a girl the school plays it off as an accident. It happens again and the school still insists "accident"

And what...the rope around the neck and pull thing is also just another fun game kids play these days?

Kids like to rope each other. Just children that age don't understand the consequence of their action until something really bad happens.

She's 12. Kids that age very clearly should be able to determine when to put a rope around someone's neck and when not to. In most cases, the answer should obviously be not to do that. We had some violent games when I was younger too but we would never even consider using a rope around someones neck.

And any parent would claim on purpose to win their case in court. See how that works?

Can't have a thread like this without conservatives rushing out of the woodwork to defend the little sociopaths. It's like clockwork.

More like an expulsion...

more like a swift kick to the face

I agree, twelve is well past the age when you should know this is wrong.

12 year olds are idiots. That's why they're still legally kids.

Yeah, except apparently there were multiple incidents. Once is an accident, two is less likely to not be on purpose.

[Zyster]

Typical media outlet turning into a race issue.

[Aori]

Shit, we had all kinds of violent games when I was in elementary school.

Broken bones, black eyes, shredded skin.. all very common in the 80s and 90s.

[Skillslam]

Now how long will it be until we find out what really happened.

12 year olds might be idiots but that doesn't mean they can't think for themselves. 12 year olds are at a point in their life when they absolutely should have a sense of morality, and of the consequences of their actions. There's no excuse. I'm not saying these particular kids couldn't be been shitheads (they probably are), but in that case you punish them, and the school failed to do that.

Agreed. Wrestling on blacktop basketball courts at recess often resulted in injuries. Also games where the whole point was to knock whoever had the ball to the ground and take the ball. I won't say what that game was called because I don't want to trigger anybody.

The school having a history of bully problems would weigh the case in favour of the parents...

So guilty until proven innocent then?

They don't need to prove anything about the boys intent to win their case. Their lawsuit is based on how the school reacted to the situation.

What they can show is a history of this boy bullying this girl with the school taking no action to stop it which leads us to this rope situation that involves the same boy...with again the school doing nothing.

If bullying was that big of a problem for the girl then why didn't they pull her out of that school?

This lawsuit has nothing to do with criminal proceedings.
