Ever been a victim of verbal, physical, or cyber abuse? Thirteen year old Nadir Khoury was allegedly kidnapped, put in a tree and hung on a fence by a group of school boys ranging from the ages of 13 to 17 for no apparent reason. Jerrie Dean, author of the article portrayed a sinful and disturbing piece about what these boys did to young Nadir. This article shows that bullying is becoming one of the world's biggest growing epidemics.
Bullying is a very serious case of abuse to another person whether it is verbal or physical. Nadir Khoury is one of many who have faced both types of bullying in one day that has traumatized him causing him to be home schooled. Six out of the seven boys have been found and are being put on trial and "Khoury is ready to testify in the case" says author Jerrie Dean.
The trial lasted a couple of weeks then the decision was made that 6 out of the 7 boys that allegedly attacked Nadir are being arressted for assault and kidnapping charges. They are being sent to Lima Detention Facility until further notice. These types of things happen and we can help prevent them by accepting others no matter what race, religion, gender or sexual orientation they are. It will not only make you a better person but it will also motivate others to do whats right.
This story is an inspiration to kids everywhere and it shows how far things like this can be taken. Next time you see a kid getting picked on don't just sit there and watch, do something about it and stand up for them. If you think your not gonna be able to help get someone who can. Make the right choices and you'll do fine in life.
