I say kudos dude for defending your sister. I don't think you was too harsh. The guy got what he deserved.
I would contact the local media if you want to push it further. I'm sure they'd be willing to do a feature about this. It has a lot of appeal, I think.
A young girl with her Pokemon cards from a birthday present being accosted, threatened, and assaulted by a group of older boys. Just that alone would be enough for some news stations to report on it. The fact that you attempted to intercede and ended up being punished just makes it that much more worthy of some media scrutiny. That's the next logical step as far as I'm concerned.
You could always try to cut a deal where you admit no wrongdoing, but accept a 2 week suspension as long as it doesn't go on your record.
If you can't wiggle out of it, I wouldn't worry too much about it. But I know I wouldn't go down without a fight.
Hire a hitman. I know a few people, PM me.
That sucks. I would have done the same, probably hit him more than you did. :p
Good luck...
I would of done the exactly SAME thing. If i see my little sister WITH A BLOODY NOSE from BOYS , TWO years OLDER then her, over POKEMON cards, then id be furious.
That's really pathetic on sooo many levels. First I can't believe a (fifth?) grade boy was beating up a (3rd grade?) girl over pokemon cards? Second, the fact that you are suspended for beating him up is just plain stupid. I agree with the others that this would make a funny news segment though. Much better than the usual "boyfriend pours alcohol on girl and burns her" stuff. Plus, it'll annoy the school systems and that jerk kid's uncle! :D
man if it were me, the other guy and whoever it was would probably have wound up in the hospital. but i digress.
i think a 2 week suspension isnt all bad. at least your not getting expelled. (like some other people i know)
i know without a doubt, if it happened anywhere else, you could have landed yourself in Juvenile jail for your actions. I know i know, the situation was intense and you had to do something to protect your sister. In situations like these, people will always tell you shouldn't have hit the other boy, but they probably haven't been in your situation (like i have).
Don't worry about it. The suspension is probably going to stay on your record if you don't take it to court. Though without a second witness and evidence, it would be really difficult to win.
and wtf is up with the school board. did they tell you what happened to the other boy and what his consequences were? If not, you can bring this to court claiming the school board is showing bias for the other boy. You would need a lawyer though... it'd cost some cash if you were going to do it.
that or the media. Tarajunky was on the spot.
Hospital? Pffft. When I'm finished with him, he won't need a doctor. He'll need a priest. http://villavu.com/vb/images/icons/icon6.gif
tldr.. but if no one mentioned it.. if you goto court etc, be SURE to bring up biased decision based on the one boy was related to the woman who suspended you. She should not have had any say in that decision due to bias.
This. If there is a chance it is not winable, then there is always the possibility of a counter-sue, which would put you in an even deeper hole..Quote:

Going to court over this would only be worth it IF the other kid has got less suspension than you got.
If you got punished more than him while your actions were in defense of your sister, you can go to court and win. There is favoritism involved, etc.
If he got punished as much or more than you, then your punition is considered fair, because no form of violence is acceptable according to school standards (IRL it's another can of tuna).
And I don't want to be talking out of my ass, but for such a trivial lawsuit you wouldn't be needing a lawyer in Canada, I don't know about USA.
EDIT : This did not happen on school territory, I find it very unlikely that you should get suspended?
The boy didn't get punished at all.Quote:

Well, my first real day of suspention. Got loads of calls from people, and did alot of work... Yes, they give work to do when you're suspended.
@Tarajunky : That would be an aggression towards the school itself, which would worsen my situation even more and even after my suspension is over.
Althought it would be a nice thing to do.
Who the fuck hits a girl!?!
You could probably win the case (but to be sure speak to a lawyer), for witnesses you know that there were other kids there so you could use them, if there is a kid that would for sure tattle on the guy who beat up your sister and he/she is a witness, go!
You got suspended and that asshole didn't? You could use that in the court, just because the kid is their family doesn't mean they can protect him like that in school.
Man, these fucking pokemon are killing kids these days...
once you have won the case:

IMHO if you're prepared to start a fight or hit someone you should be prepared to get hit too as a consequence instead of crying to your parents and uncle about it.
But yeah, when it comes to the hitting part in Finland you'd most likely be the guilty one, or atleast you'd face the worse punishment (the kid would most likely just get some fines and whatnot because he's younger and blah blah), and can't really say anything about the school part as I don't know how the school system works around there.. Gl, anyhow, but I wouldn't suggest taking this to the court.
Give your sister a course self defense for her next birthday.
Other than that, I really think you should take this to 'the next level'. A school has to make the right example, which here clearly isn't the case. Keep us informed on any further actions :).
It's always so that when shit happens to you, the law will make sure there's more coming, for example, my friend got beaten up including them hitting his head on the ground by two guys while my other friend fought back a bit, and it just went to uhm... Sovittelu ("agreement")... But for sure if my other friend had knocked the two out cold or something he'd gotten a real punishment...Quote:

Wooooo ! Great news !
I'll make it short, well, as short as I can :
The school called me in the afternoon, while I was doing my daily 25 exercises and told me to meet them in the school at once.
I was there, everybody looked at me, wondering why I was here, the teachers didn't want me to talk with them.
I came into the room, my parents, the school board, the boy, and 2 other people were there.
The boy was crying.
They asked me to tell the story again, which I did.
The 2 unknown ones "nodded" (correct ? :S) and the school board leader began by saying : I'm extremely sorry for what has happened". I asked why.
They told me that one of the boys of that little group had apparently admitted everything to his parents, the two unknown ones.
The parents had then called the school to clear up things and the school then arranged this little meeting.
Tonight, me, my sister, and my parents are having a little special dinner :).
I'm so happy, thanks for all the support, I'm so relieved that this is over.
In my eyes, the only ones in this story who got to get a real thank you are :
-The boy who admitted
-The boy's parents
-My family, who backed me up, supported me and trusted me all the way through
-Finally, you SRL, who gave me some hope as well as tips on how to sort this out.
Thanks alot.
Yay! Go justice :p
Round of applause for you. Good work :)
yeah dude... you shouldnt have touched him prolly a push off and threaten him or something...
Go to court and sue for millions :)
If you are part of the minority, you could take it to court as discrimination, if you are part of the major populous, and the school board leader happens to be another race/nationality/etc. you could take it to court saying he was lashing out because he doesn't like your race.

Wasn't mostly us. But congratulations!
Silly little kids can't handle the guilt. :)
Glad to see you're situation is fixed.
great =D
I'm glad it worked out for you. I hope the uncle paid for the dinner.
Wow.. I was away for a bit.. and I just read up on the whole thing... That is seriously messed up... I am an extreme passive > aggressive person. When it comes to me personally, I am beyond a passive individual, however, when it comes to others I will be aggressive on all fronts, especially concerning the well being of family members....
With the board... if you were ever to take it to court, you would have a case... "suing for millions" is would just be ridiculous tho.
CONGRATS on the getting everything straightened out. What is the school going to do on their end to correct the wrongdoing that has gone on? I am happy that your suspension has been lifted. I hope your family meal is enjoyable. Have a nice day.
Yay congrats. I am happy for you :) *I still think that woman deserves a punishment* But oh well... :p
Hehe :) We went to a nice restaurant, my parents payed, but whatever :).Quote:
