Absolutely horrible.

Both the bully and victim were black.
The school superintendent wrote "Based on our investigation so far, we have no reason to believe this was race-related ... ."

That poor 7 year old. How horrible.

The same 4th grader assaulted a different 2nd grader the day before. That 2nd grader was trying to stop him beating on another kid.
That 2nd grader needs be be applauded for trying to intervene and do the right thing.
The 4th grader needs suspending.

According to this article, the mother of the victim said that both children are black.

This article is being over-hyped for something that it is not. All because they used the word "hung" in the title, which worked perfectly as click-bait. Hung implies someone died of asphyxiation by a noose--which leads people to also think it had something to do with race.

But a kid was bullied by a larger kid and hung him on top of something in a bathroom by his jacket (probably the hood), which made him choke. It doesn't matter that they both were black, just like it doesn't matter that white bullies tend to bully white kids and Asian bullies tend to bully Asian kids, etc.

Bad kids are physically violent, and they do it all the time in numerous ways that don't lead to news headlines. Bullying is horrible, but this is no worse than the usual, which needs to be addressed with the same energy we have towards these click-bait articles.

I hate sensationalist articles, but moreso hate the ridiculous over-responses to them.

The 4th grader needs to be expelled and sent to the special school.

The second grader who was hung was unconscious and foaming at the mouth.

The school admin called it "horseplay."

The parents are pulling their second grader from that school as the child is too traumatized to return.

Instead of expelling the fourth grader who is violent towards others.

Parents should file a police report so perp can be sent to Juvie.

A 4th grader is 9 or 10.

Juvie seems extreme unless there is a long history of this type of behavior. Juvie isn't going to "fix" their behavior, if anything juvie will make them more violent.

I'm not sure what the solution is but a 4th grader is still a child whose brain isn't developed. He/she is learning from someone that this type of behavior is ok. That influence needs to be removed before their behavior can be changed.

Kids like this one do not belong in the schools. Period.
