A boy as arrested on suspicion to police that he was planning an attack on his school outside of New York City on the anniversary of the Columbine School Massacre. The boy admitted to police in tears his plan and is now residing in a Psychiatric hospital. He said the reason he wanted to attack the school was because he was upset about being bullied.
Throughout history there has been bulling in school and the way the law deals with it is by using medicalization of those who are going to attack a school for being bullied. This young kids have no way of dealing with the bulling. When they go to get help from the teachers the bulling only gets worse, teachers can hardly say they do not know who is bullied and who are the bullies. Instead we let it slid because it is harmless. Until one day a kid decides to ignite gasoline to end all of his problems as this young boy was planning to do. Instead of going to the source of the problem and dealing with the issue of bulling the police deal with it as if it is an isolated case which history shows is hardly true.
