They sucker punched him from behind in the head, and then picked him up and slammed him into the ground head first. He suffered a TBI and will have issues for the rest of his life.
The National tried to interview school boards across the country, but they wouldn't discuss it, so they reached out to children and the response they got was overwhelming. It absolutely broke my heart. It's like high school is just a war zone.

there was a story today as well about schools in Ontario not reporting violent acts and bullying in their schools as required.
We had that murder of a kid in front of his mother a couple of weeks back where the mother pleaded with the school and school board to do something about the bullying of her son and they didn't do anything.
