...Bullying YouTube

[Purple_Popple]

Video, has anyone posted about this on here yet ? I watched this video earlier and it is shocking - Casey Haynes who has been bullied by other kids - it shows a smaller kid punching him in the face, and Casey - having had enough just picks this kid up and lifts him and throws him on the concrete ....what would you have done if you were in this situation ? Retaliate ? I was always told to fight back against bullies, easier said than done.

violence begats violence, go to the powers that be for hel, and there is help out there, and continue to ignore a bully if at all possible, they eventually will get sick and move on to their next victim, sad to say

it is worrying to me that someone a) filmed it and b) stuck it on YouTube.

[Bobbisox]

yes it is boxy

What happened to self defence - which was more than likely the case in this awful video...where does someone being physically bullied draw the line though ? We all have our limits...would you stand there and take someone punching you in the face ? It's a delicate thing, especially where kids are involved...

[Purple_Popple]

Yes it is disturbing that someone filmed it and broadcast it....

[boxtops]

..but again, who filmed it and why...?

[Bobbisox]

I know where you are coming from PP, how old were the kids?

[Purple_Popple]

At first I thought it was staged as someone was filming it, but the kid that was thrown to the floor lost most of his teeth...

13 y/o at a guess.....it was an Australian video, Im surprised no one has mentioned it already somewhere on here, it was awful...

[Bobbisox]

shameful indeed,

It was posted on here a few days ago, but I think the video has been pulled.

It's been taken down from You Tube because its seen as too violent but you can't find it by googling.

I don't blame the bigger kid to be honest. For who knows how long, he's been subject to physical and mental abuse from another kid and it's been turned to entertainment by some little Mangetouts who think it's funny to film it. I don't think any of those little buggers will be bullying anyone again soon.

I think it was filmed for evidence...that the bullying was taking place....but what would you say to your son/daughter in this situation??

[ummmm]

I would have fought back...

Actually...it would never had got that far. I would have hit out long before I got to the point of snapping...

I had this done to me twice at school for long enough, I was very thin at the time until, enough was enough, again I was picked on but this time with one person I flattened him, that got me six of the best, the 2nd person tried his luck but failed another six of the best, did the bullying stop? what do you think? every person has the right to defend themselves including females.
