[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why the parents don't take this to the news.  If my kid was beat like that and there was video, it would be all over the local news channels.  I'd hold a press conference to share what was or was not being done to resolve the situation.  [/quote]

Someone said the kid being attacked was a younger kid from the same shelter program.  (Although maybe not in the juvenile offender diversion program -- maybe he's just in the shelter program?).  So he probably doesn't have parents that are in a position to complain, and also probably feels like he's in a "snitches get stitches" situation with those older boys.  The school should really be more aggressive in those circumstances, not less.  I don't know what the criteria are for being part of that diversion program, but "no fighting/assaults" would seem to be a reasonable condition to continue in the program.  Watching that video, the aggressors do not seem to be in the right frame of mind to take advantage of a rehab/diversion program, so one would hope that the system would remove them and open those seats up to boys that are trying to put their lives on a different path.[/quote]
