Disabled girl's hair set on fire and bullied non stop

[Muct]

Children are children,

they beat her up and set her hair on fire, hardly a case of children being children lmfaoooo whatt
how many girls got their hair set on fire in your school?

i think it's kinda disgusting that all the school has done is suspend the bullies for a week, because let's be fair, NOBODY is going to go home after being suspended and lock themselves in their room for a week 'reflecting on what they've done and trying to change their ways'

The media is ****. No-one deserves to have their head set alight but at the end of the day just 'cause she is in a wheelchair doesn't mean she can't bully others verbally. I very rarely see bullying exist I'm not sure what the uk is like but even when i was a loner for 1 year in school and spoke to no-one i wasn't bullied once (and trust me insults aren't hard to create about myself). But hey, I'm one person and the UK may be completely different. There is normally always two sides to a story but the medias job is to focus on one. I hope her hair grows back and everythings grand.

The police should have been involved. I used to go to that school and it was such a nice school. They didn't deal with bullying very well but that girl is a year 8. That means she only just started that school. I wonder if this shows that the younger generation is spiraling out of control. I know that the year 8's at my school are unbelievable! Going round 'bashing' people all the time and now setting people's hair on fire. It never used to be like that. Whats changed?!?!?!

Schools need to enforce more strict punishments, that is just not on - she couldn't even defend herself because she was disabled.
