Perhaps so and perhaps this is THE wakeup call America and the world needs to hear about bullying. It's not 'Our Gang with Spanky and Alfalfa' anymore...times have changed.

The Superintendant of the schools, Mr. Stephen Butz and yes that names makes one think of some teasing and taunting that man must have endured. You would hope making him more sensitive to the incident that happened on his playground; however, still no charges have been pressed, nor has an investigation been speedy.
Coverage on this story will continue in this column as they are received.
