Decisions are awaited on the shocking case of bullying involving a 15-year-old student at the Arsakeio school. The Association of Parents and Guardians has requested a change of school environment for the students who bullied the 15-year-old, while the lawyer of the victim's family will request criminal prosecution of those responsible. At the same time, the parents demanded that the "bullies" who tied the 15-year-old with fishing line leave the school.
The decisions of the Teachers' Association in Arsakeio are expected on Holy Tuesday. Both the students involved, the 6 perpetrators and the victim, as well as their guardians, have been invited to the meeting, while the management of Arsakei in a statement informs that a Sworn Administrative Examination is underway for any responsibilities of the teachers, according to Mega.
As the victim's mother complained, her son had started being bullied since last year.
"It was the same group with another child who is no longer at school who had started verbal bullying last year. I managed this situation with the school and with my son with the teachers and the principal. What is happening this year is an echo of last year's."
"We called him a bully"
At the same time, the child-perpetrators claimed that they were not the only ones harassing the 15-year-old. "We called him a ball, a meatball, a pig, it wasn't just us who teased him, but others from school also made fun of him, we teased him, and so for fun we decided to tie him up. We fell on him five, six children, we tied him with the fishing line but the situation got away for a while", they are said to have said, among other things, in their testimony.
It is indicative that, as reported by relatives of students, some of the perpetrators seem unrepentant, while others threaten their classmates.
