Students Disciplined in Prince Bullying Case
An additional small group of students have been removed from school in the Phoebe Prince case, according to a news release issued by Christine Sweklo, assistant superintendent of the Hadley Public Schools, media reported Wednesday.
Prince, 15, a freshman at South Hadley High School in western Massachusetts, was widely acknowledged to have been a victim of bullying.
She took her own life two months ago after enduring ceaseless bullying since the start of school in September.
Nine teenagers were charged Monday with bullying Prince until she committed suicide. The charges include stalking and statutory rape.
District attorney Elizabeth Scheibel described Prince as the target of a "nearly three month campaign of verbally assaultive behavior and threats of physical violence ... It appears that (her) death on January 14th followed a tortuous day for her, in which she was subjected to verbal harassment and threatened physical abuse."
The incident has sparked widespread, heated discussion of the problem of bullying in schools.
