Mother puts teen bullying footage on Facebook - Polidicks

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-Zaz8Rf2EQ[/media] [quote] [b]The mother of a 13-year-old school girl from Tielt (West Flanders) has posted a video on Facebook to show how her daughter is being brutally bullied by other pupils. She put the footage online to support her daughter, hoping that such incidents can be avoided in the future.[/b] The video goes back to last Tuesday. The victim is waiting at the Roeselare bus station when a group of other pupils from her school arrive. One girl starts bullying her, with the support of her friends and with one pupil making a four-minute movie. The victim is being told to stand up. The verbal aggression is followed by physical aggression. The girl is being slapped in the face and kicked, and is being pulled by the hair several times. The movie was first put on YouTube by the bullies. It was removed, but the mother of the victim had a copy and put the footage online on Facebook, titled "How low can you go? Kayleigh's last school day." [b]"I did this to support my daughter"[/b] The mother wanted to share the video to support her daughter and to make a statement. It worked: the film was shared over 70,000 times in a couple of days. Most viewers express their support for the victim and some have very hard comments towards the bullies. A Facebook hate group was created against the 15-year-old girl that takes the lead in the incident. She also received death threats. The mother also filed a complaint with the police. The judicial authorities in Kortrijk (West Flanders) are starting an investigation. The school principal has announced measures against the bullies.They risk being expelled from their school. The mother writes that her daughter supports her decision to put the video online. "Kayleigh wants to take an initiative to stop the bullying. We hope that nobody will be confronted with this kind of pestering in the future. (...) The support is doing us a lot of good, but we just want the bullying to stop", she told Het Laatste Nieuws. Kayleigh has an autism spectrum disorder.

That sounds like it could work.

If they publicly humiliate someone, publicly humiliate them. They'll never do it again, guaranteed.

I always used to snap before it got this bad. Never had a problem with bullying after the first 2 years.

[QUOTE=Disotrtion;36551576]If they publicly humiliate someone, publicly humiliate them. They'll never do it again, guaranteed.[/QUOTE] no we can ~ rehabilitate ~ them!

Where are all of these little idiots coming from? First those bus monitor kids, then the thing at the Boy Scout camp, and now this. The weird thing is that, in real life, I've never seen any children do anything worse than a few loose punch-slaps and name-calling. I guess it's the area I live in.

[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;36551596]no we can ~ rehabilitate ~ them![/QUOTE] Rehabilitating them would be great, but not even that is done, teaches just tell them not to do it again and leave it at that.

Middle school is usually where all the bullying shit takes place. By the time you get to high school, most don't really care anymore.

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;36551617]Rehabilitating them would be great, but not even that is done, teaches just tell them not to do it again and leave it at that.[/QUOTE] Pretty much, at my school when kids would do shit like this they would get a talking to and a pat on the head. Bullying hardly ever gets sorted out, a group of people used to call me 'chicken boy' but when they saw me walking my dogs they soon stopped. A friend of mine who also got bullied for a while, the school never took action to stop it until the bully was throwing rocks at him and one hit me in the head and they said I could press charges against the git.

Kids can be so cruel. It's fucking disgusting, should be absolute zero tolerance.

I seen a thread on /b/ about this. /b/ managed to get the bullies facebook, house address and phonenumber, but I doubt they'll do more than send her pizzas and do prank phone calls. But I do have to admit, this video is minor compared to other bullying videos. I've seen a video of a russian guy beating the complete shit out of a bunch of emo kids and kicking them in the head and shit while they didn't even try to defend themselves.

I was bullied for 7 fucking years and they even didn't suspend these fuckers, they did nothing.

[QUOTE=TheTailor25;36552077]I was bullied for 7 fucking year and they even didn't suspend these fuckers, they did nothing.[/QUOTE] I know your pain.

[QUOTE=\\;36552022]I seen a thread on /b/ about this. /b/ managed to get the bullies facebook, house address and phonenumber[/QUOTE] Well, that took... Actually, this is pretty much up to schedule in internet terms.

Many of my friends claims bullying scarred them for life. The lack of social interaction for them got them the illusion that they were being bullied by anyone talking to them. Very sad.

bullies are the most bullshit topic. authorities are too much of pussies to do jackshit about it, afraid to upset the other parents. what about the parents of the ones getting bullied? do they not have feelings? im sure as hell if i knew my son/daughter was getting bullied, i'd storm right into the principal's office of the school and DEMAND something be done about it, and if nothing is done, then go right to the police.

I support confronting a bully caught in the act. Fuck the "you dont know how much they suffer!" shit. As someone that spent half of their childhood in a broken home, these kids are too old to be cunts like that. Then again that's probably very unwise, but schools usually don't do anything.

God, are teenagers really that sadistic?

[QUOTE=\\;36552247]Would it not just be easier telling your kid to kick the shit out of them?[/QUOTE] That would've worked a while ago, but nowadays it just seems that kicking the shit out of a bully in self defense gets you in trouble regardless that no one else would do anything about it.

That was, to me, painful to watch. Being bullied and all in my primary school years, though after grade 8 in high school things started to die down. When people mature you'll notice less shit takes place and the only reason people would pick on you if you fucked up big time (happened to me a few times, but I deserved it)

[QUOTE=\\;36552247]Would it not just be easier telling your kid to kick the shit out of them?[/QUOTE] Sometimes they can't :(.

Can you go into detail because unless you were being a dick I don't think that's true.

[QUOTE=\\;36552247]Would it not just be easier telling your kid to kick the shit out of them?[/QUOTE] that wouldn't work, because if they can't stand up for themselves, how are they going to kick the shit out of them? besides, it would be 100% easier to not get my own child in trouble for something some dipshit kids are doing, so going to the principal/police is the best course of action. besides, in 6th grade i was bullied for the entire year, cried a few times. in my freshman year of highschool, some kid tried to bully me, it was more of an annoyance than hurtful, but still, i punched him in the face twice and i got 5 days suspended out of school and he got like, 1 day of inschool suspension, even though he pushed me first, therefore throwing the first "punch", but fuck that, it's never worth it to fight a bully.

[QUOTE=The golden;36551542]When is bullying actually going to be taken seriously? Something tells me that it's not during my lifetime.[/QUOTE] not that it's particularly effective but if you haven't noticed, the government has been pushing out anti-bullying laws like crazy and lately everyone is suing everyone else for being mean over the internet bullying will never be stopped completely but to say it isn't being fought is naive

[QUOTE=Chicken_Chaser;36552327]Deserved it? Can you go into detail because unless you were being a dick I don't think that's true.[/QUOTE] It was me being a dick, happened when I leaked some chat logs of one of my friends and I made an image of someone who got a group made of him on facebook that was somehow sexually explicit but earnt me an external suspension. Though there was a rumor of me that floated around for a while about me and everyone started hating but I dealt with that with physical violence and I got in a bit of trouble. My school has a 0 tolerance on bullying, if you bully you normally get suspended along with counselling.

I got bullied by every motherfucker in middle-school and no one ever tried to do anything about, but when I tried to retaliate against them, teachers always forced me to "have a talk" with them adn made it sound like it was MY fault, I was bullied. Cunts.

They'll probally tell them to stop doing it and get a detention, but that's it. My dad always told me that If someone ever tries to pick on me, I should punch them straight in the face. That way, even if you get beat up, the bullies will still think twice about picking on you because they know you'll stand up for youself. I've never actually been bullied. I mean, of course I've got the odd name calling, etc, but for anything that would be classed as bullying, it's never happened to me. I remember when I was 12, some kid in my class pushed me into a bush and laughed at me. I got back up and just kept punching him in the face until I got pulled away by a teacher. No one has ever tried to bully me since. We both only got like 2 afterschool detentions. Another time when I was like 14, me and this kid was just calling each other names back and fourth. I asked him to a fight afterschool. He was a pussy and decided to cheapshot me at lunch time. When he hit me, I turned around and floored him and wrecked his nose. I got in no trouble because 3 teachers saw him just coming over and cheapshotting me. All the teachers stuck up for me and told the principle that I was acting in self defense. The guy who hit me, on the other hand, only got 3 lunchtime detentions. My school is not strict about this kind of stuff. In fact, a guy in the year above me said to a maths teacher 'Fuck off you baldy looking cunt' and he only got a afterschool detention.

I got bullied a few times, mainly due to the fact that I was a pretty small and calm guy, never talked that much. After the 9 grade though, things got a lot better and I also changed a lot. I am far more sociable, confident, mature and such bullies can suck my dick. I just told them to fuck off and I had a couple of fights. But all those things are so silly considering when you are on the university, everybody is fucking cool. Although I really want to hit some guys again, some were terrible. A funny fact is that a few of those bullies are now really cool and I like them a lot, we are friends :v: guess that is how life works.
