Six-year-old bullying case

There is some hot press about at the moment on the case of six-year old Taner.
Yesterday the Herald Sun reported 'Parents of a six-year-old boy may take legal action to remove an alleged bully who has been tormenting their son in class.'

The replies posted to this article have been passionate, direct and somewhat blunt (to put it nicely!)

Taner has "allegedly been kicked, punched, ridiculed and verbally abused...so distressed by the bullying that he was admitted to hospital after vomiting and complaining of stomach cramps."

How would you feel if Taner was your child?

It is alleged that the 'bully' has autism.

Does this change your feelings or opinion about the situation?

Would you go to the press or threaten legal action as is the case with Taner's parents?

The school and department "confirmed it was investigating the matter..'working with both families to resolve the issue' "

Of course we cant believe everything we read. The article published is full of allegations. It does however raise some interesting questions and I would love to hear your thoughts about it.
