Well, unless you're a convicted felon, most normal folks get second chances all the time and aren't banished from their field of work, maybe except when you (the general you) suck at your job.
Agree with this 100%. And the thing is if their parents were telling him this was just "boys being boys", it's no wonder he never made a heartfelt apology.
So now, I'm not saying Miller is innocent, but he was just a child and his parents were basically telling him what he did was okay or it wasn't that bad.
IMO, there's a lot of blame to be laid to the parents morally speaking.
Yes I know its not that simple and I don't blame the kid for not telling the parents. But that doesn't excuse the parents from not knowing their child is being bullied, not just a handful of times, but over several years.
The kid must have been depressed, or at least not his normal self when these things were happening to him or some other signs.
How does a parent not ask questions to their child, his friends, his teachers? His letter made it sound like the school knew about at least some of the bullying. Surely they would have found out something was going on.
And being a special needs kid, you would think the parents would be more involved in what was happening in school.
I probably shouldn't be make too many assumptions, but still having a hard time understanding how this could have gone on for years without the child's parents knowing.
If this happened to my kid I'd be absolutely crushed not only because of what happened but also thinking I failed as a parent.
