    11 years old. Lost his father, bullied by his principal, abandoned by the school district therapists, falsely arrested by the police and tortured for three days by the state.

    If this kid manages to grow up to be a functional adult, it will be miracle.

      It’s kind of amazing that we don’t hear more stories of abused ex-students retaliating against specific teachers and administrators when the kids get older.

      When I was in high school, many decades ago, we had an 11th grade teacher who treated students like shit—and took a kind of delight in her cruelty. A year after having her, a group of six seniors broke into her car, late on a Saturday night, and totaled it by destroying every bit of the interior, dash, stick shift column, and windows. It was a testament to how despised she was that it was pretty well known who had done it, but no one ever ratted them out.
