What in the world is this?

Two high school football players in Texas who were being accused of purposefully placing peanuts in their teammates locker knowing he has a severe allergy to peanuts, get a huge win when it concerns their case.

The students reportedly coated the teammate’s belongings in peanut products in October. The Mother of the football player with the allergy feels the school did not do enough for discipline.

Shawna Mannon told the news, They might as well have loaded a gun and put it to his head because this is a fatal thing for my child.

The Mother said her son had told them that he could have a fatal reaction, and the kids would flick peanuts at him still. His Mother wants answers, and I think she should get some.

While there were no criminal charges, the school district looked into the case, and they came to the conclusion that it was not bullying……..

A representative for the Lake Travis Independent School District told PEOPLE, “Under the Texas Education Code, bullying is a very specific behavior, and is defined as an act or pattern of acts that physically harms a student or materially and substantially disrupts the educational process. Upon concluding our investigation, it was determined that the legal elements of bullying were not met. However, in many instances, even if the legal elements of bullying are not met, the district addresses behaviors that do not meet expectations in policy or programs.“

This is what the state statutes read, bullying is defined as “physically harming a student, damaging a student’s property or placing a student in reasonable fear of harm to the student’s person or of damage to the student’s property; is sufficiently severe, persistent, or pervasive enough that the action or threat creates an intimidating, threatening, or abusive educational environment for a student.”

That sounds like what happened, I would be pissed if I was the parent. Do you agree?
