I'm glad he is getting this type of response, but for every kid like him that gets this type of treatment there are probably another 10,000 kids in the same situation who never get any type of help.
Even worse, many of the bullies act that way because they have super shitty home lives themselves and that is their way to trying to address those internal problems. There are also just shitheads doing it too.
Like I said, I'm glad things are looking better for this little guy and I hope that keep on. However, this is a much larger problem that needs serious attention. We can start by asking ourselves why it is that we might say that we are against bullying, but yet we continue to reward that type of behavior in every aspect of our lives.
