Bullies

Yesterday, while I was reading the papers, I came across this bit of news. A teenage boy, he's 18 now, he'd been bullied as a six year old by an older student. His mother complained that the school authorities weren't taking any action and was told by the Education Department that bullying "builds character". This teenager has now been awarded record damages, more than A$213,000 (RM620,000) plus a weekly allowance for life expected to total more than a million dollars. Reason: He is now severely depressed. How is all that money going to make him happy again? It was ruled that the state had failed in its duty of care to the boy. But why didn't his mother take him out of the school if he was so unhappy?

Another bit of news to make headlines: Cop's life threatened before being killed in hit and run accident. Why was he threatened? Coz he gave someone a lift home.

Oh, and another piece of news I got from the piece of newspaper covering my puttu mayam: A man thinks he saw spaceships/aliencraft in the sky. Rectangular. Greyish-green lights appeared and the spacecraft disappeared. His wife didn't believe him, they stood outside and the spacecraft reappeared!!
