An Australian kid has won a lawsuit against his former school for its failure to intervene during a decade of brutal bullying; he will likely be awarded AU$1,000,000.
His mother, Angela Cox, reported the bullying to the police and to the school, where one teacher said the such incidents were character building, prompting the bully to make a death threat against Cox.
"Ben was getting scared, like being pushed into the school walls. He had a tooth punched out, he got whipped with a tree branch with welts across his back," Angela Cox told Australian radio outside the court.
