It was a heart wrecking scene for the kid’s mom and several others who were empathetic enough to understand the gravity of the situation. This kind of bullying impacts the mental stability of kids, especially if the child falls into the specially-abled category. A bunch of seven peers surrounded the child, who wore a blue T-shirt, trimming his hair and laughing at him.
In the video, one could see the helpless boy wiping tears. Moreover, per reports, the security guards, who were in the vicinity, didn’t respond. Instead, he watched the kid getting bullied. As soon as the incident went viral, protestors gathered across the school campus, asking for immediate action.
There were many signs and parents and students shouting, asking Arvin High School administration to stop bullying and to make the security guard who stood by laughing when a student was getting his hair shaved against his will, get disciplined. pic.twitter.com/LdT9qeBkHe
