I discovered Casey Heynes today. Words can't express how this interview and the scene filmed of the incident left a lump in my throat. As a parent of children who have been bullied I can't help but cheer Casey on. Did he handle the situation properly? It seems like he did. Had this been the first time Casey had a bully approach him, ridicule him, hit him, then perhaps his actions would have been considered over the top but this poor little boy has had a life time of being the victim. He reacted appropriately in my view. Go Casey!!! You are my hero! And to all you bullies out there, you should think twice before inflicting your pain on others let alone filming it to share your assholeness to the world.
Yes, this is a 12 minute long video but I encourage everybody to watch it. A box of tissues in hand may be helpful.
So now the mother of the little shit who was hitting Casey and having his friends video tape his sorry ass being a victimizer has gone public demanding that Casey make an apology. She claims she was shocked to see her boy behave as he did and it seems to me she was either clueless that squirt was a bully or chose not to recognize the fact. Ah, just another parent of a bully ignoring the actions of their child and claiming their little angel is the real victim. I've heard it and seen it a million times. Well hey! Guess what?! Satan was an angel once.
If you have ever been the victim to bullying or are a parent of a child who's bullied or just can't tolerate bullies anymore you might be interested in the Casey Heynes website.
