6-year old boy stabbed, shouldn't have worn pink.

[The_Puppy_Prince]

I dont know if its just my translation or something but as im reading this article some things are just....bizzare
1.No one called the parents to say that their son was stabbed
2.That swedish school seems to be run by people who not only allowing shit like that to happen,but to also enforce it
Im glad im not swedish @.@ id be dead by now

If this is true (link?) then that's fucking ridiculous as a response from the school.

I mean, I'd agree with what they're saying, but that shouldn't just be their response.

Just ask if you want any more.

Okay, first off, by the sound of things the kid was poked with what was probably a butter knife and did not sustain any injuries. Second, it sounds like the kid was experiencing garden variety being picked on. I got picked on a lot in grade school, too. Kids are cruel, selfish little monsters sometimes, it happens. From experience, I can say no one can protect a kid from being picked on, adult intervention actually makes it worse.

So it's better just to sit there and watch?

Scotland has major issues with knife crime. In general i'd say that the school shouldn't have said "don't dress ur kid in pink" but in the same respect i don't believe that the parents should have allowed (or forced) their kid to wear such a colour.

Well, there are several thing I want to note,
1) The boy likes pink, so what? the school is being pretty stupid about a color...
2) We are talking about 6 year olds here, their too immature and ignorant to know not to bully him.
3) if a 6 year old is evil enough to stab another person, well, that person (the stabber) needs harsh punishment now, if the law or school go easy on him now, expect a future killer out of him.
5) Life sucks like that, bullies should NEVER and I mean NEVER be the person setting the rules, there are cases where it can result in the victim committing suicide.. Parents and officials should and HOPEFULLY do something reasonable

1. the bullies are also being pretty stupid about a colour. The different colour is what makes him a target. Bullies so often latch on to differances and target people because of that (glasses, fat, ginger, pink, gay, black, asian (especially in scotland where racistism is high), polish, curly hair...)
2 and 3. Sort of agree with you on the first one. DEFINATELY agree with you on the second one.
5. is rediculasly true and couldn't hav put it better myself

Trust me, that's all you can do. Besides, teachers may not even know it's going on. Kids are smart enough not to do things they shouldn't in front of adults.

 

[Shycte]

odd story, I wonder what's been lost in translation. What's a pink ballet? Stabbed with a blunt knife?

The school is right in that a kid WILL be bullied if you let him dress that way.

The parents are right in that there is no way the school should permit or accept any violence or excessive namecalling.

There is a comma between pink and ballet, so AHA!

 

[Semi-Human]

I get what there saying i mean certain shit will just get you bullied. And kids always do.
But that doesn't mean you should accept it or that it some how makes it okay. I mean thats the whole point of raising kids.

If your that much of a incompetent fucktard that you just let bullying happen as a teacher your better of throwing your dumbass of a bridge.

4)There are plenty of ways he can get around wearing pink like for example, wear a pink shirt but a (insert fitting color here) sweater over it.

Kinda beats the point doesn't it? Its like saying its okay to be gay, just make sure no one finds out.

Uno: It's true that often, the teachers aren't aware, but in this case they were.

Dos: There is a thing you can do, throw the bullies ass out of there. Seriuously, the bully is not the victim here, I've seen far to many times where the victim is being harassed by the teachers as they were the offender. Seriously, that's not okay. We are never to accept bullying, ever.

Don't ask don't tell ya' know?

 

[spartan231490]

of course if you wear pink you're gonna get bullied in school. But Stabbed? dude, WTF?

 

[GaryH]

A school? Doing nothing about bullying? I don't believe it!

*Sarcasm-o-meter explodes in a shower of sparks*

Seriously though, I was bullied for nearly my entire school life because I happened to actually try to get good grades and be presentable. My parents went to the teachers more times than I can actually remember and every time were told that they would "keep an eye on it".

It only stopped after I left school, so you can see how great a job they did!

You should NEVER let the bullies set the rules. One of the many things that I was bullied for was for wearing my school uniform correctly (I prefer to look smart rather than turn up to school looking like I just crawled out of a hedge); at no point did I ever consider changing that, no matter how harsh they got and how many times I was told that I was "bringing it on myself" (which is just as bad as the bullying, way to teach a kid that it's HIS fault that he is miserable.)

There is NO excuse for bullying, even non physical bullying is incredibly damaging and it can take years to get over it after it has actually stopped. To let it get to the point where a 6 year old is stabbing someone over the colour of their shirt just blows my mind (although it sadly doesn't surprise me...)

 

[Sion_Barzahd]

While its true that a guy wearing pink and showing a liking for nail polish and ballet is definately going to get him bullied, the teachers and other staff shouldn't let it happen. They should've intervened.

Also, they probably should've informed the parents when their child got stabbed. It's hardily a "small incident" if this was in england or america there would be a thousand or so lawsuits flying about after all this. Its crazy stuff and i don't think the child who stabbed him or the school should just be able to shrug it off.

yeah fuck that retarded bullshit.

Don't ask don't tell what exactly, that your Jewish? Muslim? Christian? Straight? Black?
What good reason would you have for indulging the bigotry of idiots? Why on earth would every one else have to go out of there way just because some jackass will throw a tantrum if you don't?

 

[NuclearPenguin]

Well thats odd.
Liking nail polish and ballet is one thing but in Sweden a hell of alot of guys wear pink, including me.

 

[Zaik]

My opinion? They don't seem to care that he got stabbed, why will they care when he gets revenge? I'd tell the kid where to cut to do some real damage without leaving anything permenant, assuming the new victim gets quick treatment.

That way, everyone learns a valuable lesson. The new victim learns that if you're going to go around stabbing people for stupid reasons, you'd better be ready to get ruined. The old victim learns that all the rules and laws in the world won't protect you from one person who doesn't agree to follow them.

Well after having read both of the news articles all I can say is...well I am to mad to wright anything without 12-15 courses...so I think WTF?? will do.But seriously this is just wrong the teachers should have but a stop to this from the start.Six year olds shall not be running around calling another person "Fag" its just wrong at that point and then to not in form the parents after the boy had been stab in the neck that is just...well...wrong.

 

[rubinigosa]

Okay, first off, by the sound of things the kid was poked with what was probably a butter knife and did not sustain any injuries.

Actuality in the original article from Jönköpings-posten you can read that "Oskar fick en matkniv i nacken av en jämnårig pojke. Kniven var trubbig, men det hade gått hål i huden och blivit ett märke."
This translates to "Oskar (the victim) got stabbed in the neck by a boy in is own age.The knife was blunt but it had poked trough the skin and formed a mark".

[ANImaniac89]

I say let the little pink bastard live his life happily.
My attention would be focused on the 6 year old sociopath that stabbed him.

 

[Gladion]

I don't know... maybe the article is just very poorly translated but "stabbed with a blunt knife in the neck" just sounds like... "poked with a butter knife in the back of his neck, but we like to overdramatise shit".

I don't know. The whole thing sounds fucked and I'm tempted to say the kids' parents should've known better (sorry, but the world IS a place filled with assholes), but I don't have children and don't know how hard it is to tell your little one it can't wear certain stuff or be quiet about the stuff it likes. Probably very.
