Bullying

After being threatened to getting an obscene tattoo, the bullies didn't stop there:

Fisk allegedly did the actual tattooing. When he was done, he and the others reportedly took the boy outside Johnston’s home where a group of students waited to look and laugh while the victim was forced to drop his pants. Fisk allegedly gave the victim a bag of marijuana as payment for the humiliation.

One of the boys alleged that it was: 1) A joke and 2) He really wanted a tattoo. So four (4)
boys thought it was a good idea to take the child to their basement, held him down, and tattooed his butt. Even though one of the perps' parents admits that what was done to the child was not acceptable, she felt that it wasn't a big deal because it was a joke.

The idea that this was a joke is absurd! I also have a hard time believing that a 14 year-old boy would actually want this obscene tattoo on this butt. Let us assume that the child did want the tattoo, why I was he forced to humiliate himself in front of a school of classmates?

I'm not for a minute suggesting that one form of bullying it better than another, but this is extreme. It costs up to thousands of dollars and a lot of pain to have a tattoo removed!

The parents of his son’s girlfriend reportedly called to say they don’t want the boy contacting her anymore.

While I hope this is true, it seems very unlikely to me. Not only was he tattooed by force, pictures of it were being sent around school, and he was made to drop his pants to a waiting crowd. It was already public and known.

Do I really need to comment on this?

Bullying for any reason must be stopped! It has already led to suicides, school shoots, and God only knows what else!
