Justice for jak

Nc on this one because I'm well aware I may get flamed and I don't want people to view me differently on a couple of niggles.

There's just a few things I'm uncomfortable with.
Obviously the situation is devastating and my heart goes out to Jak and his family but it seems like half the world is baying for the blood of children. Some of the comments are horrendous. This makes me very uncomfortable.

The school, police, doctors have not handled the situation very well at all but they clearly Have a different view of the initial injury than is being portrayed. The poor mite had a haemotoma which became infected due to, from what we have been told, the lack of medical care from professionals.

It all just seems like this whole situation was ignored and dismissed and I am personally struggling to comprehend with all the safeguarding etc in place that this could occur?

I'm very uncomfortable with lots of the comments left about the other children, yes they should be held accountable but they shouldn't have violence threatened upon them. I do think that the parents need to be accountable as well but I don't know, something is just not sitting right and I don't think it should be advocated by lots of commenters that these children should have violence inflicted on them.

I'm really rooting for this little lad.
No child should go through bullying, it's devastating and horrific, but I certainly don't think that thousands of adults commenting on violence towards the bully's is helpful. They are children to and whilst I do not condone what has happened at all I do think it should be handled differently by everyone involved. I do hope that Jak makes a full recovery though and if he has been failed by school, doctors, police and council that it is dealt with properly.

Whilst bullying needs to be highlighted and this little lad does need his plight to end and he does need justice from those that failed him I don't think that adults advocating violence and saying very nasty things about children is helpful to an anti bullying campaign.

But, Watery, the guidance prior to the current version actually made it more difficult to exclude, not least because it was possible for the independent panel to overturn the governors' decision, which is not the case now. So you've got to go back decades for the so-called good old days.

I don't really know what to think of it. I think someone said a child pushed him into a post. Of course this is really bad and nobody would want that to happen to their child. I don't think the Mum has posted a picture of the original injury though so we can't see how bad it was initially, and I suspect it was a minor injury as the school described it. This original injury then turned into a catastrophic injury through infection, and these are all the pictures the Mum has plastered all over FB.
Infection can happen to any wound and that's not necessarily the fault of the other kids who pushed him, although if they hadn't pushed him, none of this would have happened. I don't think there's an answer really, it can't be undone....And I don't think the kids who pushed him should be hung drawn and quartered by thousands of people on FB.I do hope the injured child gets better soon.
