Dad Gets Restraining Order Against 4th-Grade Bully


The only disappoint­ment I have with this article is that I feel it was down-playe­d horrendous­ly!!! Looking at the short paragraph provided as a ‘cover story’ and then only one other new source [ABC] having reported it, something is definitely wrong with this picture! Unfortunat­ely due to the serious lack of informatio­n concerning the offending classmate provided concerning this situation I can only comment on the fact that there should be more parents like Christophe­r’s Father, stepping in and taking charge!

While the article references the fact that another 10 year old student had recently stabbed to death a 12 year old student is unrelated to the Casteel incident, it is a testament to the fact that these ‘children’ are capable of committing atrocious crimes. We, as a society need to recognize that bullying in our schools has far exceeded the realm of being considered an epidemic. We can no longer hide beneath the adage of ‘Kids will be kids’ as I have seen posted by various readers regarding other articles of this nature. It is time we accept the fact that our children are dying, either at the hands of another or their own through suicide and something serious must be done about it.
