Disturbing High School Bullying Video Shows How Real This Problem Is


According to this article, at first, Kobe Nelson, the 14 year old victim got suspended from school because he was accused of fighting with another classmate, who was the bully.
One of the classmate recorded the incident on camera which Kobe’s father wanted to show the principal who refused to see the footage and telling him straight forward she does not need to look at the footage, she already knows what happened.  When she refused to help, Kobe’s father, Tommy Purvis, turned to his friends for help to prove his son was the victim. Once the video went viral, Districts Superintendent Mat Holton spoke out but due to school policy, Kobe was still suspended for fighting back. After viewing the video a few times later on, school officials were able to tell who was the victim and who was the aggressor.
