"Bullying" can now lead to involuntary manslaughter charges.

Inquest finds teen's suicide caused by bullying at work, school

FAYETTE — A Howard County coroner’s jury ruled Tuesday that a 17-year-old’s December suicide was caused by involuntary manslaughter, the result of harassment he suffered at work and at school, placing principal blame on the teen’s former manager at Dairy Queen in Fayette.

The verdict was announced after a daylong coroner’s inquest in which witnesses described widespread bullying at the Glasgow School District and said administrators were reluctant to address the problem. After the verdict was read, a Howard County sheriff’s deputy left the courtroom to arrest Harley Branham, one of Kenneth Suttner’s managers when he worked at Dairy Queen, on suspicion of involuntary manslaughter.

Special prosecutor April Wilson said Branham will be placed on a 24-hour hold. Wilson said she plans to meet with the judge who appointed her, Mason Gebhardt, to see whether she will continue to work on the case, and if so, she will make a decision on what charges to file.

DA's are the lowest form of life bar none.

Every bastardization of law that exists is the direct result of overzealous prosecution.

Hillary bullying Vince Foster in Clintons' first 100 days in office . . .
added charges and counts against the former Democrat Presidential candidate seems possible.

Notice that the prosecutor did not go after the school administration? Government functionaries have special privilege. They also have unions that have lawyers that make lawsuits costly. Much easier going after a Dairy Queen manager. Now who is the bully?

Bullies were throughout history among kids, teens, and young adults. Mostly kids at elementary and at junior high. Nothing other can stop them from being bullies, but one thing. Kids whom bullies harass, must learn to fight back, beating those bastards and to make them cry.

Certainly wouldn't want to blame the teen who killed himself...

Or the teens nonexistent support system who weren't there for him..

Nope! Gotta be the fault of some typist on the interwebs.

The legal gymnastics required to assign blame to suicide are quite substantial I hope this DA broad chokes.

^Life skill

You'll have more success conditioning the child for the world, rather than trying to condition the world for the child. Whats worse is that the school, an environment which is supposed to prepare children for life, is about as far from reality as it gets.
