100 South Hadley parents demand action on bullying after Phoebe Prince suicide

If the people responsible for this are allowed to walk without being punished then you could say that a form of hara kiri (asian cultures) or honor killing (middle east) will exist here in the United States as well. This girl was disgraced, humiliated, stalked, assaulted, and possibly raped as well.

The investigation is still on and everybody seems to believe (no evidence yet) that Phoebe killed herself. She may as well have done the choking game.

Hi everyone! I don't want to be annoying...I just want to let everyone know that we're still on top of this! There are some of us that are doing everything we can to make sure things change and that Pheobe is never, ever forgotten. Everything must change, all across the board. We're doing everything we can to make that happen.

It's all about Yahweh, huh? Well, should God exists I think she would want the nice people of South Hadley to find out the people who were bullying the child and prosecute them to the limit of the law. Also, go after any and all school officials who didn't do enough to prevent this. A pox on all who caused this poor kid to do this. God would probably not think it appropriate for a self-appointed scold to blame this on the belief that we are morally bankrupt. A few of the bullies that caused this certainly need a little tuning up, but how about a practical answer other than read the Bible more or repent. Enough of the right wing fear garbage.

What can one do with mere words?..It doesn't change anything and only servers to lull and calm those who are in sorrow. This is so sad and I give my deepest sympathy to Pheobe's family and friends. I too remember being bullied and had many thoughts of hurting myself, even today those times still haunt me. I'm at a loss of words.... I am so sorry for the family and friends of Phoebe. May you Rest In Peace, sweetie.

what is wrong with people at all. some person or persons deserve to be charged with manslaughter for the loss of this beautiful young girls life. lessons need to be learned to prevent such a thing from happining again. I really hope the investigation sees people from the authorities to the school staff lose their jobs and are prevented from ever having a similar position of power again.

Disgusting cowards! I am a retired high school math teacher and wish I could have been there to straighten out those barbarians.

I would say that one of the problems would be a sense of denial with the Bullies parents and in a small community like South Hadley you are certain to have "The In Crowd" who will boast of their families being there since the Mayflower. You may be welcome in a small community as such just don't rock the boat and I don't mean the Mayflower./;

Very sad. Different culture and different school system. We found it hard to settle too. One of my kids were bullied and I bullied the principal. Threatened legal action too. In the end we pulled him out and moved to a new better school. Schools and parents need to be more accountable for the bullying. Go into the school and hassle.That is all I can suggest for the moment until people start threatening legal action for defamation etc.
