From the New York Daily News:
A 13-year-old girl is still shaken after two bullies wound her up in plastic wrap last week on her way to school.
Middle school student Melanie Conn was waiting at the bus stop in
Ormond Beach, Fla., on Thursday when two boys who have threatened her
before cornered her and wound Saran wrap around her body, circling her
ten to fifteen times — so tightly she couldn’t move her arms.
"It was kind of scary,” she told Orlando’s WKMG-TV. “But then, shocking at the same time."
Conn said she was bound tightly in the plastic wrap from her waist up
to her face, above her chin, so tightly she couldn’t move her arms.
While Angerson-Conn blames the school for not taking action against the
bullies sooner, even after a school staffer on the bus heard them taunt
her daughter, the school district maintains it is handling the situation
and has disciplined both boys involved.
Meanwhile, the mother of one of the bullies acknowledged and apologized
for their action, though she declined to be identified in an interview
with the TV station.
"I feel that the boys were wrong for doing it," she said, though she claimed her son had also been a victim.
She claims her son was only given a 10-day suspension from the school
bus, while Wait told WKMG that the girl will no longer have to share the
bus with them.
10 day suspension from the school bus for this, you have got to be kidding. Expulsion from school should been the appropriate punishment.
Apparently, bullying isn't taken too seriously in Ormond Park, FL.
