Reviewing judge missed the mark in Herrera case

I think the public should be outraged at the findings of Judge Moore [in the Jaheem Herrera case], and also the way Jaheem’s mother was excluded when the report was presented.

The judge found no evidence of bullying at Dunaire Elementary, yet concluded that “There is name calling, there is teasing all outside of the presence of adults and that there is a code of silence among the students.”

Madam Judge, you have overlooked the fact that therein lies the root of bullying, and many children are devastated by the psychological damage that it does.

These actions must not be trivialized we all need to visit this incident a second time. The lives of our children depends on it.
