The statements from the police department and the school say’s it all. This is by no means the first time for an incident like this, but at least this kid was lucky enough to live. This was your normal sibling harassment. My sister and I used to pick on each other all the time like this. The school officials injected themselves into the situation unnecessarily, including searching his sisters property without consent.

None of my teachers were ever dumb enough to lay a hand on me, ever.
