[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So... what actually happened?[/quote]

The rumor is that one boy was gently teasing another. That kid went nuts and started beating the crap out of the teaser with a chair, to the point where he was hospitalized. Then he ran off, so the school was put into lockdown.

I don't think metal detectors are helpful if the weapon of choice is a chair. What is needed is better mental health interventions, and removing children with this kind of disposition to more secure facilities where they can be catered for more appropriately.[/quote]

Sounds like he was being bullied. Not gently teased.[/quote]

Can’t make that assumption based on what PP wrote. Not all teasing is considered bullying. [/quote]

Granted that there are different forms of teasing.  But the description of 'gently teasing' seems really off.  Odds are that there is a back-story so that if this one instance seemed 'gentle' from the outside it was likely one of many interactions this kid faced on an ongoing basis. The last straw.[/quote]
In this case they had no back story
The kid lost all self control snd beat the other kid WITH A CHAIR [/quote]
