If all that is said in this story is accurate, this mom needs some help for her son and she needs it fast. Bullying is never acceptable (and for those who say it is a rite of passage for every kid) shut up! Bullying today has become so violent and widespread and it needs to be stopped. The school board needs to push the "political correctness" aside and get the troublemaker out of school. Where are the parents? Drag their butts in and get the message across to them that their son's bullying won't be tolerated. Evidently the kid needs help and if the parents won't do anything about it, the state should.
