Casey Haynes father speaks out..... Please note the part where he says his son was never taught to hit and how he had been bullied for years. Maybe now some here will understand WHY HE SNAPPED and did what he did.
Everyone has a breaking point and it took Casey a few years before he snapped.
Quote:
Casey's father said yesterday his son had been the victim of bullying for several years and feared for his safety if he spoke about the fight.
"There'll be reprisals from other kids in the school and he still has to go to school somewhere," he said.
"He's not a violent kid, it's the first time he's lashed out and I don't want him to be victimised over that.
"He's always been taught never to hit. Apparently other people's parents don't teach their kids that."
Students said violence was a daily occurrence with fights often filmed and posted online.
"The fights I have seen here, it's horrible. It really makes me feel unsafe," one said. A classmate added: "People pick on him every single day, they hit him around and stuff, and he just got sick of it and let out the anger."
