12- and 14-year-old girls charged in bullying death of classmate


WINTER HAVEN, Fla – Two girls have been arrested in the death of a 12-year-old central Florida girl who authorities say committed suicide after being bullied online by several girls for nearly a year, a sheriff said Tuesday.

A Facebook post from one of the girls saying she didn’t care about the suicide of 12-year-old Rebecca Sedwick led police to the arrests, according to Sheriff Grady Judd. The suspects, ages 12 and 14, have been charged with felony aggravated stalking, according to the Polk County Sheriff's Office.

Judd held a press conference on Tuesday morning and said authorities acted fast because even though the accused girls' parents were contacted by police about Sedwick's death, the parents did not cooperate with police and the girls were still able to use their social media accounts.
You've got "zero tolerance" for kids doing the right thing ...

... but when it comes to bullying, the government, influenced by teachers' unions, have funded non-profit 30-second TV spots telling the kids they need to do something to stop this kind of horse hockey.

What do teachers and administrators do all day, anyway?
