Fed up, she attacked a boy on the bus, inviting others to join her
She physically assaulted someone and tried to get others to join in and got punished for it. Being a victim of one thing doesn’t justify becoming a perpetrator of something else.
What harm is done that is severe enough to justify violence? There was in no imminent threat of physical harm to themselves or others. Nobody is in danger. The content in question also isn’t actually them. Being violent just because your feeling are hurt is barbaric and has no place in a society. Violence is not acceptable.
It’s more than just feelings being hurt, this is illegal.
What does this oh-so-perfect system do? Punishes wrongdoing. Guess what a fist to the face does.
The harm done is trauma, that poor girl is probably traumatised for life and will most likely need hours of therapy to deal with something like this. Actions hurt people, threats in the physical realm aren’t the only ones that matter.
You know what’s barbaric? A society where this sort of antisocial, criminal, traumatising behaviour goes unpunished. This is sexual harassment and the school didn’t want bad press so they just shrugged it off. She was forced to take matters into her own hands when the sexual harassment continued.
Hard disagree. What other option did she have at this point, she tried following proper channels to get the bullying resolved and when that didn’t work, did the only other thing she could.
The system not making her feel better is not justification for violence. Taking justice into ones own hands with violence is not acceptable. Period. We are not barbarians or wild animals. She could have gone to her parents, a counselor or a trusted adult to help her manage her emotions over the situation until a better resolution could be reached. While it is understandable to want to be violent when feelings are hurt, it isn’t acceptable to throw hands, or to encourage others to help you violently assault someone. Her violence will do absolutely nothing to stop the sharing of the photos, it will only appease her momentary desire to lash out, with worse consequences, like getting suspended.
It was foolish, impulsive, unhelpful and unacceptable.
To play devil’s advocate, at that point she had photographic evidence of this happening, so she could have gone back to the school/police with it and let them handle it.
I would 100% go far further if this arrive to my daughter. I would go yo police reporting school sponsored diffusion of pedo pornography. And ruin the school reputation and have all parents involved. This would make me go thermonuclear.
Schrödinger accountability ? Be harassed and humiliated daily : nothing. Defend yourself : punition.
She would have not strike him but the society forced her.

Hey man if you distribute porn of someone non consenting, you deserve at least a solid punch in the face.

I knew there’d be some one like you in here spreading some victim blame around.
If you think accountability is victim blaming then your worldview is not worth listening to.

Responding to a non-physical threat with physical violence is not acceptable. Society did not force her, she chose to be violent.
