This is awful all around I think. I would like to know how this plays out. I’m curious to know if the 13 yo charged is aware of the seriousness of his actions. Very sad.

The school and the police are doing the right thing. This type of taunting is mean and extremely dangerous.

This happens all the time. It saddens me that kids are not taught at home the basic meaning of respecting others. The family of the boy and the boy himself ought to be embarrassed and ashamed of themselves.
