Bullied student gets $260,000 from families of bullies and school district
According to the Bakersfield Californian, a Stockdale High School student, who was physically assaulted by five older students, has settled his suit against the Kern High School District, the students who committed the assault and two other students for $260,000. The case illustrates the degree to which students and their parents can be held financially accountable in bullying cases. It also shows that students can be held financially responsible even if they are witnesses or simply know about such incidents, but don't tell authorities.

Willard charges students to act responsibly, such as “Stay Out of the Garbage,” and avoid pornography or other “gross stuff” online, and also to “Connect Safely,” reminding kids not to send mean or nasty messages. Adults get some advice as well—with Willard cautioning them not to make a big deal if a child brings up something that happened online, such as a stranger trying to gather personal information. Any kind of extreme response, like taking away Internet privileges, could discourage them from bringing up concerns again.
