    "The parents say Benson High responded quickly. The 15-year-old has been expelled." In your opinion, do you feel the school's punishment was appropriate? Please explain your view.

    I feel that expelling him wasn't necessary. Suspension might have fit better as it wasn't an act of hatred just a prank that the school board took way too heavily. Smack Cam is something that is widely popular on Vine, it is far more wide-spread than the news article is letting on.

    I think the school may have overreacted. I think the appropriate punishment would be to give them ISS and make them serve a few hours worth of detention. Expelling someone over a slap when it's a joke is too much.

    I think it was a good idea to expel the kid he was just being stupid.
  • Mary Davis on 24 Apr 14
     
    I don't think the kid did anything so bad he should have been expelled. There are kids doing so much more dangerous things out there and face smaller punishments. It was a really dumb prank that was hurtful and meaningless, but not worth the punishment.
  • mgalaska on 24 Apr 14
     
    I feel like the school's punishment was too harsh. Sure the "smacking game" is rough but so was the punishment. The student was charged and should have just been suspended. The student did it as a joke, not out of an act of violence.
  • taylormorris on 24 Apr 14
     
    I think that an expulsion might be a little too far, but the student should have definitely gotten suspended. The smacking game is totally different if the person being smacked is friends with the smacker. The high school student that got smacked was harmed and humiliated, which is not okay.

    I feel as if the punishment was a little excessive,but if the school knew about the game they should have stated not to do it in/on school property. Getting ISS or OSS would have been enough for a harmless game that most laughed and joked about. The student should not have done it either way.

    It was a good idea to expelled him i wouldn't wanna be slapped in the face for no reason!!!
  • undecidedrenee on 24 Apr 14
     
    I think the punishment did not fit the crime, it was not as serious as they made it seem. Kids get in fights every day and don't get expelled for it so why did someone that just slapped someone get expelled? It was meant more as a joke than as an act of violence. This is clearly a misunderstanding between two different generations. There are no quotes from the child who was slapped, what was his take on this? All we have are the opinions of the parents which will of course take it more seriously than their child. If you can get expelled just for slapping then what's next? Pretty soon kids will get expelled just for giving someone a high five too rough.
  • baddison758 on 24 Apr 14
     
    I feel like the punishment was to extreme for what it was. The kid who slapped the other kid didn't mean to do something like "teach him a lesson" or make him bleed it was just a simple slap. The slapping is assault but it was once and he wasn't planning on doing it repeatedly so he should have gotten suspended at the most. Expelling him for a stupid mistake like that was to much.
  • agress on 24 Apr 14
     
    I think the school shouldn't have punished the student the way they did because sure it was an act of joking around, not trying to be violent. I think the student should have been suspended. It was a dumb joke but the student should be given a different punishment.
  • tchubick on 24 Apr 14
     
    He should not have been expelled.
  • Gregary Teer on 24 Apr 14
     
    It was taken to far that the kid got expelled from that school I would have suggested that it would have to be an out of school suspension, the person who recorded it would have had a 3 day OSS. It was humiliating for the kid no way should they be a "victim" of this case it was a game and shouldn't have played it on that kid.
  • Bailee Gofta on 24 Apr 14
     
    I think the school took it to far with the punishment, just for getting smacked in the face. Lots of kids get into fights now a days, but the school took it too far and it was meant to be a joke.
  • blandon293 on 24 Apr 14
     
    I don't think the punishment they gave the high school student was necessary. But I think he should have got suspended because kids do way more harmful things and don't get in that much trouble.

  • Mackenzie Bolton on 28 Mar 12
     
    I sure wouldn't feel safe at school. It's ridiculous that no one saw or heard the girl and the fact that it's the second one in the last month. Something needs to be done about it & things need to change or incidents like that are going to keep happening.

    This would be victimology number 8 (targeting people who are not merely weak, but helpless.) Any parent has the right to do what ever it takes to protect their child, especially if they are getting bullied, but threatening/ targeting the school and some of the students, is no way to behave. Why put the kids' lives at risk, let alone your own life...
  • Tristin Barnhart on 19 Dec 13
     
    I think that the intent with this story was #6: carrying out a crime to terrorize others by sending a message to potential victims. She claimed that only the people who had ever bullied her son would be shot. I also think that her attitude toward the situation is #24: indifference to the actions and their impact on the victims, she doesn't seem to say that she would have remorse for anyone that her son could possibly harm, because it wouldn't be his fault. And #8 targeting people who are weak and helpless.
  • Sydney Wilson on 20 Dec 13
     
    This story would contain items 1, 6, 12, 24. 1- because it seems like she's trying to scare them, 6- because again, it seems like she's terrorizing others with the fact that her son is a perfect marksmen, 12- you just don't put that out on facebook, and 24- she doesn't seem to care about other people and how it could possible effect them.

    They should definitely look into that. If I had children and knew a sex offender lived across the street from that school, I would't take them there. That is scary, and it causes more people to be cautious.

    It was wrong for the police officer to tazer the 9 years without trying other options. He might of been a big 9 year old but you can't tell me that the police officer couldn't over power him or find another method to restrain him.

    He had no reason to tazer the kid. It was definitely wrong on his part. He should have found a different way to restrain him, not use the tazer before trying.
