Mass. bullying suspect seeks dismissal of charges
NORTHAMPTON, Mass. (AP) — An attorney for a teen accused of bullying a 15-year-old Massachusetts girl who hanged herself says there's no evidence his client did anything wrong.
Michael Jennings, the attorney for 17-year-old Kayla Narey, said Wednesday that he'll ask a judge to review the grand jury report and dismiss the charges. He says Narey never hurt Phoebe Prince, never threatened to and never did anything else that would cause Prince to harm herself.
Narey is among six South Hadley teenagers charged in connection with Prince's suicide in January. Prosecutors say Prince, a high school freshman, was despondent after incessant bullying.
All six of the teens have pleaded not guilty.

Most bullying issues are traceable to poorly trained administrators with bad cultures in their schools....
Or, to parents who refuse to recognize that their child is causing a problem, deal with it, and implement appropriate consequences. Many believe that their son or daughter "would never do that" or that the incident is not really significant--just "boys being boys" or "you know how kids are." Wake up. When one of my kids screwed up BIG TIME, I punished him more severely than the school--by far.
