I was bullied in school by 2 sisters who didn't like my family, sometimes physically, but never like this.
I feel some of the blame falls on the parent. A schoolyard scrap leaves a kid with some knocked out teeth? Not right, but it happens. Kids fight sometimes. That's one thing. Then nothing is done and the kid gets kicked in the stomach. That's the point where I'd have taken him out of that school right then and there. Obviously no one was going to protect him, and a 6-7 year old is no match for a 10-11 year old. I think it was irresponsible of this boy's father/parents to not take action before this.
