I think that if the parents knew this was going on then they should also be a part of the charge .
however if they didnt know then i think it is the kids fault , there are some very nasty little brats out there who have very sweet
parents vise versa - the fact that the school wasn't doing much about this either is kind of a concern knowing that there were at least 15 girls total involved in the bullying over all .
not all of them who were participating in this act got charged, only the two main ones.
this is so messed up on so many levels , any kid who says , "drink bleach and die " to another needs help , or needs to be sent away to a group hone or lock down as discipline until they understand why they are saying what they are and where its coming from.
