[quote=WSBTV]PAULDING COUNTY, Ga. -- Local parents said they are outraged after their son was beaten unconscious while at school.
A cell phone camera caught a student attacking 15-year-old Austin Harrelson Monday at South Paulding High School.
School officials said the student who did the beating faces criminal charges and has been suspended.
Harrelson’s parents said a suspension is not enough for the beating that left their son badly bruised.
“This boy came up and punched him in the face six times,” said mother Selena Harrelson.
The Harrelsons said they fear their son’s attacker will be back at school after the Thanksgiving holiday.
School officials said the student will have to face a tribunal to determine if and when he’ll be allowed to return to the school.

There's a video in the Source
I just heard about this; this is the first time my school has gotten on the news for something like this. I have a feeling our principal is going to have a school wide meeting on this and how we now look like violent hooligans.
Looks like a hell of a black eye
Ouch...
His eye got swollen up.
Even the school gets into trouble
What the fuck? This kid did this...why?
Boys will be boys.
If I didn't know better, I would've guessed this was in the middle of Hillbilly country. The two years I spent in that Jr. High near the Kentucky/Virginia border, I remember there was a fight practically every day between two idiots for God knows what reason.
-snip dumb post-
Dam, That sucks
Fuck, that kid hits pretty hard. What a dog.
But yeah this happens in all schools, anyone that thinks bullying is controlled is an idiot.

Typical that a bully can't pick on someone their own size.
What a faggot. (The attacker, not the victim)
Wow, why does no one standing around ever help?

Southern Virginians are hillbillies, though.
My uncle's neighbor thought I was a girl because my hair was longer than 2 inches.
That sucks for him.
Also Bredirish we totally need to orchestrate an FP Six Flags meet-up.

Haha, I moved from Paulding to Fulton, now currently in Cobb.
Anyways, serves that guy right, his eye looks really fucked up.
[QUOTE=Sleepy Head;18556765]wait, I thought they can't put his name in the article because he's a minor? or am i mistaken[/QUOTE]
I believe the victim's name can be put in, but the one convicted can't be named.
the way I see it is: "maybe the kid was a prick and deserved it?"
Poor dude... What is it with youth these days?
