My close friends daughter was punched in the face by a boy in school. The school does not care.

Hey every one. Just to clear things up first and foremost. This is not my daughter. I am simply helping my close friend let the world know that stuff like this is still going on in schools. Im going to post what she put on her facebook for you all to read. This is not a publicity stunt.

This is what she posted along with the photo below.

I usually don't post any of my business out on social media but on Friday 3/27 my sister Angela was punched in the face by a BOY at her school. It upsets me that the school says they have '0 tolerance' for bullying but obviously fail to realize bullying isn't just physical. My sister took this picture & sent it to my mom while trying to stop her nose from bleeding! To top it off my mother was never even contacted by the school to make her aware that this had occurred! The nurse called my mom to ask if it was ok to give her Tylenol because her head hurt? My mom was already on her way to the school & was aware of what had happened because of the picture Angela sent her. She asked the nurse what happened & then was told she was punched but she knew nothing else. My mom had taken the initiative to go to Angela's school before this happened to file a complaint and make the school fully aware of what's going on & was told there was nothing they could do because it isn't physical and it's not happening at the school. For one, bullying isn't just physical. Words hurt too! & obviously if it's happening at home, why would it not be happening at school?!? People don't just hate a person in one place! I feel as if this could have been prevented & I'm pissed that the school took it so lightly. I seriously feel like more could have been done, especially with their '0 tolerance' rule! How are kids supposed to feel like they can talk to their teachers/counselors if they know nothing will be done? I hate that things have to get to worse before they get better, why does something bad have to happen before someone notices and takes charge? This boy & his friends are always outside my moms apartment, banging on her door, cursing & telling Angela she should kill herself & so much more! Now because the boy was arrested his supposedly 'sister' (who's older) is still threatening my sister saying she's going to kill her, beat her, burn her house down & sooo much more! I want something to be done about this before something else happens to my sister or anyone else. I hate that her nose had to be broken by some punk ass little boy before they did anything about it! I know how powerful sharing stories on Facebook can be & I just want the school to realize what a fail this was, & find better ways to fix these problems so they don't occur again!‪
