People getting picked on and bullied hits me different because I was one of the dorky kids growing up and was tormented through school, so I definitely know how it is to be beat down and feel unimportant and worthless. But now that I’m grown and can actually put a stop to it I do not tolerate anyone getting bullied or picked on especially if they have a disability. And Arissa, you’re sister is a blessing and a gift from god, she’s more than a sibling she’s a best friend, and I wish nothing but blessings for y’all and your family. Much 💕 from North Carolina 💕
This gives me a whole new perspective. There’s this disabled girl in our school who gets teased and I think this Valentine’s Day I’m going to get her a present.
6 if you count assault with a deadly weapon- cutting her hair off resulting in cuts on her scalp, and murder because the mom committed murder-suicide at the end.
Being a father of a disabled child i know the pain this lady feels. I try to tell my son to ignore the people. It gets hard. I wish everyone would love each other more then they do. Disabled people are not here to be made fun of or picked on and just like in the video no one wants to help until someone does something like this. Lets not make fun of people for difference let's embrace them as anyone else so we can all feel like we belong here. Thank you from the bottom of my soul this was a truly great film.😭😭😭
as a 'disabled' person myself, who was bullied throughout her schooling up until I went to university, and as a mum of an 11 years old now, I can tell you one thing, parent to parent : you actually can't ignore it. My parents and teachers did tell me to ignore it, but I'm 43 so those were other times. We do know better now, and harassment is better taken care of by the professionals at school etc... and if they don't take care of it, I've been known to kick some butts (verbally) now and then. I remember so vividly how I felt at this time, how I wondered why no adult ever came to protect me. I knew that what the other kids were doing was wrong, so why the adults never told them? Children will always need the same thing, their parents protection.
Hanzo Smith I would be proud to have her as a daughter, but if there were anyone that did the same as those bullies I would be the one giving them a hair cut, you won't have to worry about me "missing a spot"
skip all those minor charges and go straight for attempted murder, they fire bomb her front door, now I would charge them with 2nd degree murder, give them 20 to life, charge the neighbor mom for manslaughter or something, bring a civil suit against that towns police force for not stepping up and doing something
October 23rd, 2007. This was the day that Fiona and Francecca Pilkington finally found peace; only in death. To those who harassed this family for over ten years - to the police who ignored their cries for help when called on 33 SEPERATE OCCASIONS - and to those who witnessed this abuse go on for years and instead of offering any help or support whatsoever, chose to turn a blind eye and let it continue for so long - you are ALL guilty. May God have mercy on all your pitiful souls.
attempted murder, manslaughter, tresspassing, arson, vandalism, harrasment, battery, hate crime and stalking are all the crimes me and some others have listed in another reply thread so far. the police: i dont see anything wrong here
It is 'A mother driven to kill herself and her disabled daughter after bullying at the hands of a gang of youths kept a harrowing diary of the abuse she suffered before her death, an inquest heard.' You can search it up
I know it’s a disgusting story, but can we just take a moment to appreciate the actors from this? Everyone played their part so well - especially the lead male bully. Each one of their performances were amazing.
The boy's mother was just as much responsible for this horrible turn of events as he was. And her remarks towards the beginning is so inflammatory.. the nerve of some beasts..
Bullying a disabled young girl is straight up vile, i don't know anyone sick enough to do such a thing. It really is sad that there was no hope for them. Goes to show that people don't understand your struggles because they haven't been effected yet
I'm 53 years old and have an emotional disability . I'm bullied in different ways by my own son's girlfriend . She tries to get me to hit her so she can get me arrested . Cops don't help , or care . All I can do is try so hard to ignore it but it ruins my thoughts all day and she does this on purpose . I figure she has more problems than I do and she should be in therapy as I am . You don't bully someone with certain disabilities and not expect a tragic out come . Educate yourselves ! I'm lucky because I'm not violent by nature and my life experience has afforded me the luxury to not react and try to ignore it . I refuse to stoop to her level of total disrespect and ignorance . Peace to all who may be experiencing a similar situation . ❤️ P. S. Even Hollywood puts out movies where the only solution is for the person being bullied to commit suicide . That's disgusting . According to the credits it's based on a true story and probably is . Well, to the person and people (my own son included) who bully me , you're not worth my aggravation and you deserve to be ignored ! To everyone out there , be careful who you trust .
AJC 2003 Ikr. It's stupid that there are a bunch of people out here that don't see the beauty we see in other people. I was bullied as a kid due to my race as a Mexican. But we can change these people by stepping up for those who can't. Speaking out for those who try but fail. And helping those who have been bullied recover by hanging out with them. Commenting something nice about them and many other things that could make them happy.
My brother was bullied horrifically because he had autism. He ended up not being able to leave his house to due anxiety. He got sick, but couldn't leave the house to go to the doctors until it was too late. He died 3 years ago, and I miss him every day.
Sorry to hear that. That is tragic. This world is screwed up. Speaking of bullying, in Cyprus back in 2005, an Australian Cypriot was pushed off a bridge during the army service by a bunch of bullies … and the bastards got away with it. There seriously needs to be justice.
The Simmons Family bullied Fiona Plikingotn over a number of years and this is because her disabled daughter and the Simmins fell out. There were also incidents of her son being bullied as well. The police did nothing even with many calls made by her. She made a lot of detailed logs on the abuse everyday. It's only after she set herself and daughter on fire in her car on Leicester Road, it's on the lay-bys to Hinckley and Earl Shilton where the roundabouts are that the car was found. The IPCC had to investigate this and there was action taken against the police. The Simmins had jail time but they are still back in the community. The parents moved out a year ago but the brothers still live in the area and do cause trouble in the community house sometimes.
Arson, battery, criminal mischief, disturbing the peace, resisting arrest, and manslaughter (via leading them to suicide). But that's based on the US Justice System that actually has balls enough to stand up to children.
The saddest thing about it is: no one has been arrested in this whole ordeal. Not the bullies. Nor the bullies' families. Nor even the police. The British Justice system is wicked to its core.
Blue on Black idk about England but in the U.S. but if you call saying teens were out front destroying your property and putting you in danger they will come. Heck, they'll come if you complain about a fricking dog disturbing the peace.
You are confusing horror with terror. Horror is a man with no face and lizard body chasing you to place his eggs on your belly. Terror is a man with a gun chasing you to kill you.
Words can’t describe how disgusting those bullies are. I’m nowhere a violent or hateful person, but I seriously hope they live the rest of their lives in guilt and sorrow, knowing how much they hurt that innocent girl. She’s twice as good as they’ll ever be. Rest In Peace🕊
@@Hana-ug8mk laughing during serious and or sad moments could be a coping mechanism. Love how they're sickos for having a small chuckle for an interesting pronunciation of the word egg
As a disabled person myself I’m so thankful I don’t get treated this way by people at school. My heart goes out to all those people that have been treated so differently for their disabilities. I love you guys so much, there’s nothing wrong with you. You were made this way and you are just as important as any other person
@Bahand Gamer it is a kind of a disease (quite rare i think), where someone cannot feel pain. It has something to do with the neurons. I remember watching the case in 60 minutes australia.
I don't get bullied anymore because my trick is to trip them badly When they used to make fun of me in class, I immediately look for cables and when I have the chance and not looking, i trip them. They always land in their head and say "that didn't even hurt" but their eyes are light-red and they never messed with me again.
Penny Elizabeth Ikr!!! I mean they can all go to jail like that!! Maybe even charged for attempted murder because if the fire doesnt get to you the smoke will and they were outside ready to beat them up so they wanted to stay inside with the fire!! THEY ARE GUILTY
I realize how cruel some people can be, no one should ever go through this....but what really stuck to me, was how no one except the mom, came to help. Once i read it was based on a true story, my heart sank to the bottom of the ocean knowing they went through this, and how people choose to not help them, some people are sick animals, but the people in these comments and people who prevent these things, are people truly valuable and amazing people. Thank you to those people, you are truly one of a kind, have a good day folks. 😘😁😌
Ben ben ya well obviously in that video the boy's mom was a bully too because she dissed the disabled girl and didn't care that her son was bullying the girl
Those "things" you referred to as psychopaths and sadists are something that should not even be classified as human. They, for all we know, are "alien species". Might be giving aliens a bad name by comparing those "things" to aliens. So I think they should just be classified as dirt for now. At least in death, those "things" bodies can serve a worthwhile purpose as fertilizer for plants to grow.
@Alfie Stokes It honestly saddens my heart that you have people in this world that will hate you because of something you can't even change. Because your you. That really saddens me. It really does.☹️☹️☹️
I remember the genuine case that this short film is based on. I think that it happened maybe ten years ago or maybe longer ago. Horrible, sadistic, immature, spiteful and nasty adults and teenagers were those responsible for driving a mother to desperation.
This is why I stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves. I don't believe in survival of the strongest. I believe that the strong is meant to protect the weak.
@Bryan Nguyen - I agree with you, but imho bullies aren't strong. They are the weakest people on Earth. They are brave when they are 6 vs 2, try to 1 vs 1 them and they will play victim. Usually they have miserable lives. I guess it's karma.
cathmarieantoinette I never said bullies are strong. In fact, I believe that if you see someone being bullied you should step in if the person being bullied cannot defend themselves. Here, the cop could have put an end to all of it by having the victims move in with him.
How could someone be so cruel?Why would you make someone suffer to that point? The police were so ignorant and careless throughout the whole situation...Wow this is just terrible that it is based off a true story. What a world.
Krimson Beauty Usually bullies are just people who have something terrible going on in their lives and want to harm other people so you can feel their pain which makes the best way to deal with them is to just ignore them. If they continue to bully that person even when he or she is ignoring them the bully is going to look stupid to other people.
SkitzozPandaz That's the dumbass textbook definition. A person like that would never go to such extents. A real bully does it for the thrill and to feed their own superiority complex. That's all.
I would like to agree with you about certain cops being terrible and not helping others, but the problem is WAY bigger....its people in EVERY SINGLE JOB AND EVERY SINGLE NEIGHBORHOOD AND EVERY COMPANY, vocation, race, religion....its everywhere. There were people all along in this story who could have helped and MADE A DIFFERENCE....but no one did. Its something we ALLLLLL need to really take a look at and ensure that at least in OUR family/neighborhood/or whatever...that WE will not stand silent or look away!! Any neighbor, teacher, cop, doctor etc. in the life of the one having extreme troubles could stand up and help be a voice in defending them or being a part of the solution. Prejudice and hate takes many forms but it is ALWAYS wrong, destructive and should never ever be justified!!!! NOT EVER!!!
Here nearly five years later after watching the sequel, and I'm still deeply saddened by this tragedy. At this point, I've understood that this is a terrible part of human nature that we all need to fix together. None of us should shrink away from this and ignore it just because we haven't tortured or bullied someone in our lives. We at least need to educate ourselves and find safe ways to intervene in things like this in our communities and make sure that those responsible face the rightful punishments. If changing the world feels too overwhelming, at least change yourself for the better.
Every once in a while I come back to watch this, every time it is heartbreaking. Why would anyone want to do vile things towards a beautiful bright girl, yes she may have disabilities but she is still human. This makes me so sad
Karla Lopez yes but more so the disabled as they are dis-abled to defend themselves more than normal people. Not saying it’s right to bully anyone but just saying it worse if the person is disabled. Their life is already bad enough with a disability.
Karla Lopez But this isn’t about people who aren’t disabled. It’s specifically about the effects of bullying disabled people. I get you’ve got no ill will, but it’s quite insensitive.
I have a special needs brother with an unknown condition He can't walk talk or move his body properly, he has brain damage and seizures I'm lucky enough he has a supportive community that loves him like me
Michael McCall My brother has cerebral Palsy and he can't walk talk or move his body completely on his own and if someone was ever like that to him I would literally kill them
Michael McCall I have my brother disabled too, and I love him so much! I remember when someone push him. i literally got mad and push back and talk shit on that guy. We protecting our precious baby (^^)
Michael McCall I have a little sister and she can't hear on both of her ears well. I am so scared of what is going to happen to her in school. Some days I find myself crying because of it. I am lost and scared. We live in a place where there are a bunch of bullies and spoiled kids. Some kids talk about how they heard a story of some diseabled peraon and how they feel bad. If I told them about my sister they would just be loughing at me for having her as my sister. I even have an aunt that can't talk. I need advice on what to do.
everyone needs to see this tbh this is what i like to call an eye opener because people who are disabled get treated like this on a daily basis and everyone could actually learn something useful tbh
I saw the follow up short to this today, where Michael is older and feeling guilt and remorse. Watching that led me here to this short film. That in turn led me to read about the mother and daughter this was based upon, Fiona Pilkington. This brought tears to my eyes and a sadness to my heart. That people can treat others like this is not truly a surprise but it actually is, if you follow me.the abject failure of the housing, the police and or any other agency, the s hool system, the neighbours, friends etc.. is really upsetting. Great storytelling, very immersive. Thank you for telling this families tragic story and raising awareness.
Yes In the uk in the village Barwell a mother and daughter committed suicide due to young teenagers bullying her and her child , the would throw rocks and food at the house , and many other things it eventually came to her killing both herself and her disabled daughter by setting a car on fire , the police did nothing and the people who bullied the mother and daughter into suicide didn't get any punishment , and now because it's been about 5 years they have there own family's and nice houses , they live close to me , and the police did nothing
This legit made me cry, I used to be a bully when I was 3-9 years old but I bullied kids who annoyed me and rejected to play with me and I still regret it today. I honestly can’t imagine how my victims are feeling rn. I never bullied disabled/sick kids cause I had at least some morals
I was 11 when this came out and it genuinely shocked me i remember feeling physically sick learning that it was a real story. I pray for all of yall stay safe out there and please just be nice its not hard. 🙏🙏💔
There's this one amazing kid in my school. I don't like saying names but he is disabled and can't really communicate correctly. He's gotten bullied so much where he has cried for days. I eventually got fed up with the bullys and punched 3 in the face and 1 slammed against a locker. The victim of the bullying was standing there for a few seconds. I smiled and he ran up and hugged me. All 4 bullys got suspended and may not go to my school anymore. He's an amazing person and we should always be nice to people even if they are different then us. We are all human, don't forget that! Just live, it doesn't matter who you are. It doesn't matter what you look like or sound like. We all should hold hands and stand up together. Everyone is unique in their own way.. you can't change someone, we are all our own person.. and beautiful. ❤️ Edit: 1k likes?! Wow! All of you are amazing! ❤️❤️
Since those kids were threatening the mom and daughter’s life, they’d be in the right to defend themselves. That’s for the US at least. I can’t speak for UK.
When I was bullied, people told me to forgive. I can’t remember how much I had to block out to try and survive. It honestly ruined me. The guilt one feels for parents and family getting involved and hurting. It’s unimaginable. Sometimes you wish you were never born or ask God why he cursed you with a mental illness that only allows you to be vulnerable and an east target. I don’t feel stronger, I just feel more broken and scared.
Emily Hubbard yea my sister is disabled so i felt all the emotions gladly she isn't bullied though if someone did try that I'd probably beat them till their face is covered in blood and my knuckles are all broken
This was really hard for me to watch, I have a son that has disabilities and, there are people that can be so cruel, and ignorant. Its pathetic that no one stepped up to show a ounce of compassion, other than the officer, that tried.... absolutely heart breaking, what they went through, and her only way out of all that pain and suffering.
Hurting people hurt other people. If people would heal their own hurts, they wouldn't hurt others. It's a never ending cycle, and the current justice system does little to discourage such behaviour. Usually the victim is blamed, and the perpetrators get off scott free.
I had exactly same story, and it is always my question how they enjoyed bullying beating and making trouble for a poor person like me that totally is own life and not make them any difficulties
Real fact were all the SAME WE ARE ALL THE SAME WHAT BULLY SOMEONE LIKE YOU LIKE IF THAT HAPPENDS TO YOU TOO YOU I WISH BULLYS WOULD JUST DISSAPEAR I WISH OR JUST END THIS BULLY THING
This is the most heart-breaking film I've ever seen. Even worse that it's based on the suffering of an actual woman and her beautiful child. SImply devastating.
Zainab Salah Nowadays, bullies will bully just about anyone. Even adults. I have you know that I've been bullied too, from kindergarten to secondary school.
yea when they were bullying her girl I was angry but when they bully her mother....I was feeling like killing them I hate to feel like I can't do something!!! I JUST HATE IT!!!!
Here is the true information on the story you had just seen. The mother's name was Fiona Pilkington, Her daughter's name was Francecca (Franky) Hardwick and there was a son that was also bullied by gang of youths in their neighborhood, his name is Anthony. Fiona lived in a town called Barwell, Leicestershire, UK. Fiona and her children were tormented for 10 years of abuse. 33 times Fiona asked for help from the local police department. Either no one showed up to assist her or an officer would down play the situation. The Loughborough Town Hall held an inquest as to the death of Fiona and her daughter Franky. They found that the mother had committed suicide. However, they also found that the Leicestershire Police also share responsibility for their deaths. They were horrified when a senior officer gave evidence at the inquest " that it was no longer the police's responsibility to deal with "low level" hooliganism and abuse." After the criticism by the town hall, the police chief apologized for failing to render assistance. No action was taken against the police department. How long is it going to take for people to stand up for what is right instead of turning a blind eye to evil and wrongdoing? Just think if it was you that was being bullied; wouldn't you want someone to stand up for you? Then you should understand that feeling and do what is right and stand up for those that can't stand on their own.
Jumpoff A cant believe such apathy can exist in a country like uk..things like these are isolated incidents or are they common? the way they portrayed-its frightening
This makes me think about this kid in my class who is different . People are so mean that whatever he does it's offensive or annoying . People are disgusting . People should show this in high schools or 5th and 6th grade classes
Chill Player If you help an ostracized kid, be prepared to be bullied along with them because that's exactly what I did a couple decades ago. It was a heavy blow to my moral compass, to say the least. If you find the courage to try, anyway... I hope you have better luck. A bit of advice: If you befriend the ostracized, don't ever betray them when the going gets tough. You won't be able to return to a normal social status even if you try. I learned that the hard way.
As. The mother of a disabled daughter,there were so many times I wanted to quit and do what the mother did. But I confronted the bullies,the parents,the schools,the education authority. I reduced kids to tears when I told them the statistics of them having a child with disabilities or an accident that caused disability. I made teachers and the headmaster cry when I told them how they failed my daughter and every disabled child in the school. I pressed charges against a girl who kicked my daughter in the chest so hard she left a large black bruise-luckily not breaking her sternum. Nothing came of it because she was 12-but it scared the hell out of her,and her mother moved her to another school. I moved my daughter to another school that was better. I was referred to as “scary mum” by the bullies. Nobody had ever confronted them or spoken to them like I did. Now they stay away.
Kids in the west are really misbehaved and they do lack basic respect for elders and other people. I don't know how could they be so. Don't parents teach them proper manners over there or what ?????????
sri sxc,it’s a mix to be honest. You have the good and the bad everywhere you go. There are so many good parents who teach their children well. Sometimes,all that hard work can be ruined by peer pressure. I’ve seen it happen with kids from good homes,good parents. They do whatever the “popular kids” say or do.
I’ve been on both sides and I’m autistic. Aspergers is a form of autism. When I was in middle school I’d climb on top of a cabinet in class and howl at a student because she was pretty and popular the entire class would laugh at me and I’d enjoy the attention. They were laughing with me not at me and I loved making people laugh, I know this is wrong now and I started an anti bullying campaign at my college, proudest thing I did in college even more so than graduating. I look at this video and I know if I was there I’d do anything to make this stop I’d lose my mind this would not go unpunished. Crazy always wins the fight.
My teacher showed this to my entire social class and by the end, if not even the middle, almost all of us were in tears. He asked nothing of us afterwards except to sit in silence and write down on a slip of paper one word to describe what we just saw and/or felt. People wrote down things such as "Bullying", "Sad", and "Shocked". I remember there being so many things I wanted to say, but all I did write was "Real", because it is, and this kind of thing happens everyday. I wish this didn't happen in our time and world. But it does. And, in my teacher's own words, it's up to us, as people, to decide whether or not we want that to change.
My younger brother was disabled and had an incurable metabolic disease. He got bullied whereever he went. In school, in the neighborhood, in the youth centre... I was always there for him. I never had friends because I didn't want to be friends with people that bully my brother for his disability. He died at the age of 13 not knowing what it's like to have friends.
Clara F. but he had a great sister who was always there for him and that was you and that's all he needed I think just one person who would care for you makes all the difference in the world you're a good person there are not many people like that left anymore
@Alfie Stokes I believe it can, no matter how nice people can be there will always be ones like this, the only way is for stricter punishment, torture etc and people wont even think of doing anything bad because they'll know the consequences of their actions are dire
Bro if I saw a girl like that I would help her to the end I really would, she deserves someone to help her and defend her! And those bullies would have been shot in the bead by me lol 😂
The bullies are really good actors they really want me to punch them in the face
Evan Tang They are! I just don’t want to hurt the actors!

How’d it go?

How can the police just sit there and say “nothing we can do” I can name 4 crimes assault, harassment, arson, and vandalism.
6 if you count assault with a deadly weapon- cutting her hair off resulting in cuts on her scalp, and murder because the mom committed murder-suicide at the end.
LisaTigressHardy attempted murder as well no? They lit that door on fire
Puma Bear it happened in 2007
das 3
VI Glacier that’s 3
Bullies: Cut off her hair, egg her car, mimick her, be all-around mean to her
Police: ShE's OvEreAcTing
It should be done with the police to make them understand the seriousness of the problem
TACBleded20 what do you mean “cuz he is brown” like that is racist. If you do racist, you are no better than those bullies. 🤦🏾♀️
what ended up happening
Attempts to burn her house down and stone them
And catch her house on fire
That ain't even bullying anymore, that's just straight up vandalism and assault
*And* arson
I completely agree..as a victim of bullying it isn’t very easy 😢
And guess what? The main bully is raising a family right across the street from her old house. Shocking how bad the system is, no justice at all!
Can you tell us who the main bully is?
What's their name
@@ciararodriguez1900 I believe they had an identity/name change. If not, their name should be known on the internet if you search up thr case
They should be famous by now i want them to feel the same way this family got through
Not shocking at all, system was always like that.

Being a father of a disabled child i know the pain this lady feels. I try to tell my son to ignore the people. It gets hard. I wish everyone would love each other more then they do. Disabled people are not here to be made fun of or picked on and just like in the video no one wants to help until someone does something like this. Lets not make fun of people for difference let's embrace them as anyone else so we can all feel like we belong here. Thank you from the bottom of my soul this was a truly great film.😭😭😭
Exactly!!!!! I stand with you bro!!!
I have autism but not able to diagnose
@@animeOfDarkness405 that's OK you are still a amazing person
as a 'disabled' person myself, who was bullied throughout her schooling up until I went to university, and as a mum of an 11 years old now, I can tell you one thing, parent to parent : you actually can't ignore it. My parents and teachers did tell me to ignore it, but I'm 43 so those were other times. We do know better now, and harassment is better taken care of by the professionals at school etc... and if they don't take care of it, I've been known to kick some butts (verbally) now and then. I remember so vividly how I felt at this time, how I wondered why no adult ever came to protect me. I knew that what the other kids were doing was wrong, so why the adults never told them? Children will always need the same thing, their parents protection.
@@hikarihime73 I'm sorry that happened to you. I truly am.
"She's just overreacting"
Now that part, Is what made me angry. Beyond angry.
i agree. Over-reacting is an understatement. Physical abuse? really?
Hanzo Smith I would be proud to have her as a daughter, but if there were anyone that did the same as those bullies I would be the one giving them a hair cut, you won't have to worry about me "missing a spot"
Hanzo Smith omost threw iPad across room
I fricken cried when I heard that!😭
Haha 😂 when u said beyond angry
This was not bullying
Those criminals can be charged with several offenses including harassment, vandalism etc
CrazyGamer Kids assault too
skip all those minor charges and go straight for attempted murder, they fire bomb her front door, now I would charge them with 2nd degree murder, give them 20 to life, charge the neighbor mom for manslaughter or something, bring a civil suit against that towns police force for not stepping up and doing something
CrazyGamer Kids literally was thinking this before I read the comment
lol kid do you even know what bullying means?
KillerBait um..... ARE MAKING FUN OF THE GUY THAT HAS A POINT OF HARASMENT ECT.THIS WAS A TRUE STORY YOU KNOW THAT RIGHT.
October 23rd, 2007. This was the day that Fiona and Francecca Pilkington finally found peace; only in death. To those who harassed this family for over ten years - to the police who ignored their cries for help when called on 33 SEPERATE OCCASIONS - and to those who witnessed this abuse go on for years and instead of offering any help or support whatsoever, chose to turn a blind eye and let it continue for so long - you are ALL guilty. May God have mercy on all your pitiful souls.
omg thats tommrow😢
There's no such thing as karma, unfortunately
May God NOT have mercy on any of their souls
When I saw the "based on a true story" part at the end, I cried.
Yeah ! Me too.When I found out that it was based on true story, I was extremely sad, 😭 that, it could happen in real life.
Yep same☹️
attempted murder, manslaughter, tresspassing, arson, vandalism, harrasment, battery, hate crime and stalking are all the crimes me and some others have listed in another reply thread so far.
the police: i dont see anything wrong here
Snowscales Wintermint Yh I know why are they not doing anything about it
harrasment
Blue Springflower of course
Mental abuse too
Thats 9 chargers omg
The saddest part is that all of this actually happened.
Hawwa Ibrahim Where can I find an article on it? Was it on the news?
Little Leah “based on a true story” at the end
It is
'A mother driven to kill herself and her disabled daughter after bullying at the hands of a gang of youths kept a harrowing diary of the abuse she suffered before her death, an inquest heard.'
You can search it up
Fiona Pilkington. You can search it up
Ventroxii _ 🤡
I know it’s a disgusting story, but can we just take a moment to appreciate the actors from this? Everyone played their part so well - especially the lead male bully. Each one of their performances were amazing.
It’s a real story
Loosely based on the tragic deaths of Fiona Pilkington and Francesca Hardwick
The boy's mother was just as much responsible for this horrible turn of events as he was. And her remarks towards the beginning is so inflammatory.. the nerve of some beasts..
I was cheering when the man slapped the bully's head lmao
Cailyn G I was laughing 😂
Cailyn G hahah omg ikr!! Haha
when was that
Cailyn G dust came out of his head
Same!
Bullying is basically abuse.
It is abuse
I totally agree. I'm a bullying victim myself. I've been trough psychotherapy and feel a lot better now. I had to change school and everything.
But it never was bad like this
Envi It is abuse. In so many ways.
It is also murder. Physical and mental pain and there can be death
Bullying a disabled young girl is straight up vile, i don't know anyone sick enough to do such a thing. It really is sad that there was no hope for them. Goes to show that people don't understand your struggles because they haven't been effected yet
No one should diss or dismiss disability. It could happen to anyone, even Superman (AKA Christopher Reeve).
I'm 53 years old and have an emotional disability . I'm bullied in different ways by my own son's girlfriend . She tries to get me to hit her so she can get me arrested . Cops don't help , or care . All I can do is try so hard to ignore it but it ruins my thoughts all day and she does this on purpose . I figure she has more problems than I do and she should be in therapy as I am . You don't bully someone with certain disabilities and not expect a tragic out come . Educate yourselves ! I'm lucky because I'm not violent by nature and my life experience has afforded me the luxury to not react and try to ignore it . I refuse to stoop to her level of total disrespect and ignorance . Peace to all who may be experiencing a similar situation . ❤️ P. S. Even Hollywood puts out movies where the only solution is for the person being bullied to commit suicide . That's disgusting . According to the credits it's based on a true story and probably is . Well, to the person and people (my own son included) who bully me , you're not worth my aggravation and you deserve to be ignored ! To everyone out there , be careful who you trust .

This isn't bullying, this is straight up ruining someone's life.

CZcams Lover so it's bullying. Bullying ruins people's lives. Take a look at Hannah Baker.

Yeah because the people getting bullied kill their selves
Seriously?! They are setting fire to her house throwing paintballs at them and abusing a disabled girl and the cops can't do anything?!?

who agrees with me?
ClareHeart gaming and more I do!
GG Creations But it was real
AJC 2003 Ikr. It's stupid that there are a bunch of people out here that don't see the beauty we see in other people. I was bullied as a kid due to my race as a Mexican. But we can change these people by stepping up for those who can't. Speaking out for those who try but fail. And helping those who have been bullied recover by hanging out with them. Commenting something nice about them and many other things that could make them happy.
I'm speechless. I hope the "kids" all of them get thrown in jail.
Lifetime too
@@3ternalstorm unlikely.
That's a story from 20 years ago. The kids didn't even get a file. They continued their lives and no one did a thing to them.
THE WORST PART IS? THE COPS LET THEM GO JUST LIKE THAT NOT A FILE AGAINST THEM???
My brother was bullied horrifically because he had autism. He ended up not being able to leave his house to due anxiety. He got sick, but couldn't leave the house to go to the doctors until it was too late. He died 3 years ago, and I miss him every day.
Sorry to hear that. That is tragic. This world is screwed up. Speaking of bullying, in Cyprus back in 2005, an Australian Cypriot was pushed off a bridge during the army service by a bunch of bullies … and the bastards got away with it. There seriously needs to be justice.
It's the Bardon Road, Barwell, Leicestershire, UK incident a few years ago. The police did nothing and there was a huge investigation into them.
2222harrys
Do you have more information on this?
The Simmons Family bullied Fiona Plikingotn over a number of years and this is because her disabled daughter and the Simmins fell out. There were also incidents of her son being bullied as well. The police did nothing even with many calls made by her. She made a lot of detailed logs on the abuse everyday. It's only after she set herself and daughter on fire in her car on Leicester Road, it's on the lay-bys to Hinckley and Earl Shilton where the roundabouts are that the car was found. The IPCC had to investigate this and there was action taken against the police. The Simmins had jail time but they are still back in the community. The parents moved out a year ago but the brothers still live in the area and do cause trouble in the community house sometimes.
2222harrys Clearly they've learned nothing from their actions leading to lost lives, they are despicable filth.
I don't understand why the police had to defend them.
2222harrys wow
What they can get arrested for
1. Vandalism
2. Harassment
3. attempted murder
4. Assault
Baby Doll Arson
Arson, battery, criminal mischief, disturbing the peace, resisting arrest, and manslaughter (via leading them to suicide). But that's based on the US Justice System that actually has balls enough to stand up to children.
veggiesaremurder you haven’t seen France and Germany justice system
The police:shes overreacting
Your pfp is me
The saddest thing about it is: no one has been arrested in this whole ordeal. Not the bullies. Nor the bullies' families. Nor even the police.
The British Justice system is wicked to its core.
The police officer is amazing, he really wanted to help the mum and her daughter
Mater of fact he didn't.
Yeah but not really
he’s literally useless af
Why exactly did the police ignore her case? They set her fricking house on fire? They wounded her daughter to the point of bleeding?
Anastasia Novikova they even vandalized her house and her car
This is BASED on a true story, from what i've read the was no molotov lol. Just lots and lots of harassment.
As much good as they SEEM to do, they don't actually do much. Sometimes they just don't, and sometimes they aren't able to.
Blue on Black idk about England but in the U.S. but if you call saying teens were out front destroying your property and putting you in danger they will come. Heck, they'll come if you complain about a fricking dog disturbing the peace.
Not where I live. Not even kidding, a town near us had a celebration because we hadn't found a body in the past 36 hours.
Why watch horrors, read sci-fi or fantasy, when the world itself can be much darker?
Tony damn
because you wanna escape the real world thats why.
@@4thwav214 ikr 😭
I read fantasy to escape the real world cause its magical
You are confusing horror with terror. Horror is a man with no face and lizard body chasing you to place his eggs on your belly. Terror is a man with a gun chasing you to kill you.
It’s hard to believe bullies are even human beings.
Words can’t describe how disgusting those bullies are. I’m nowhere a violent or hateful person, but I seriously hope they live the rest of their lives in guilt and sorrow, knowing how much they hurt that innocent girl. She’s twice as good as they’ll ever be. Rest In Peace🕊
its not the video that sad , its the fact that its based on a true story.

I should go to hell for that
I laughed as well

As a disabled person myself I’m so thankful I don’t get treated this way by people at school. My heart goes out to all those people that have been treated so differently for their disabilities. I love you guys so much, there’s nothing wrong with you. You were made this way and you are just as important as any other person
You re not disabled you have heart strength and courage unimaginable for the rest of the world. I ll never have that. Total respect and love to you.
Me too sometimes
I think the mother chose fire to end their life because the daughter could not feel heat. The candle and hot boiling water scenes give the clue.
how can she just not feel heat
@Bahand Gamer it is a kind of a disease (quite rare i think), where someone cannot feel pain. It has something to do with the neurons. I remember watching the case in 60 minutes australia.
@@joba8287 there is a rare disease where one cannot feel pain. If not mistaken, it is called congenital insensitivity to pain (CIP).
I don’t think so. I think it was just easier for her to do it like that.
@@joba8287
There was a student in my high school that couldn't feel cold, so he always wore summer clothes even though in winter got really cold.
Even though she punched a child I don't blame her. I punched my bully.
I don't get bullied anymore because my trick is to trip them badly
When they used to make fun of me in class, I immediately look for cables and when I have the chance and not looking, i trip them.
They always land in their head and say "that didn't even hurt" but their eyes are light-red and they never messed with me again.
HabaneraGirl oh I spitted at my bully
HabaneraGirl that kid deserves it ,believe me I would have knocked the shit out of him
HabaneraGirl i wish i could punch my bullies but i used to be so scared to even move
HabaneraGirl some kids need a literal slap (or punch) in the face
This isnt bullying, its psychopathically violating someones human rights
Bullyng is the same thing
the fact that this is based on a true story is truly heartbreaking.
those bullys need to go to hell
I know
sounds like the UK needs a vigilante.
because their police force is more lacking than I realised
Alaska Is Cold this happened in 2007 the police has introduced new policies since then but yeah they do need to up their game in a lot of areas
I literary cried because it hurts a lot and don't think your a nerd your not a loser because there just jealous
if they set the door of fire, that's destruction of property and anyone could called the police instead of just staring.
Penny Elizabeth Ikr!!! I mean they can all go to jail like that!! Maybe even charged for attempted murder because if the fire doesnt get to you the smoke will and they were outside ready to beat them up so they wanted to stay inside with the fire!! THEY ARE GUILTY
Mega emly 13 exactly
Lorena Rodriguez
but she called for someone specifically and anyone could of come
Maybe she didnt have a gun
She probably did this is just a film on about what happened it would of been different in what actually happened
im scared for the days when my kids grow up and Start experiencing the pain of the world
I realize how cruel some people can be, no one should ever go through this....but what really stuck to me, was how no one except the mom, came to help. Once i read it was based on a true story, my heart sank to the bottom of the ocean knowing they went through this, and how people choose to not help them, some people are sick animals, but the people in these comments and people who prevent these things, are people truly valuable and amazing people.
Thank you to those people, you are truly one of a kind, have a good day folks. 😘😁😌
Parents need to teach their kids not to bully other kids from early on.
@Sandwich Cake Exactly, the kids push it down from their parents. It's an everlasting cycle that hurts everyone
Ben ben ya well obviously in that video the boy's mom was a bully too because she dissed the disabled girl and didn't care that her son was bullying the girl
Who is the actual disabled here?
The Girl?
Or the bullies?
(Edit; The answer is girl, since bullies aren't classified as humans)
Vailoc you 😂
the girl
Vailoc The girl.. those kids can't be helped like the girl..
wEight he means the bullies are really messed up in the head like tons messed up
Vailoc pysicly the girl is but metaly the bullies if you think about it you can understand more and deeper😢
"Based on a true story" that sent chills throughout my whole body.
The sad part is that the girl didn’t understand that she was being laughed at and picked on. She thought they were trying to be her friend.
the fact that this really happened, makes me feel sick about humanity
It didn't
Ladan Ali it literally did. Look up Fiona Pillkington

Those aren't bullies. Thats a group of psychopaths and sadists 😤
Preach
Indeed.
Facts
Those "things" you referred to as psychopaths and sadists are something that should not even be classified as human. They, for all we know, are "alien species". Might be giving aliens a bad name by comparing those "things" to aliens. So I think they should just be classified as dirt for now.
At least in death, those "things" bodies can serve a worthwhile purpose as fertilizer for plants to grow.

dont worry you arent
I literally wanted to beat those assholes with a tire iron
yas those stupid...ok i won''t say THAT word
Miquela Wells I cried
😞 me too. sorry
I remember the genuine case that this short film is based on. I think that it happened maybe ten years ago or maybe longer ago.
Horrible, sadistic, immature, spiteful and nasty adults and teenagers were those responsible for driving a mother to desperation.
The fact this was based on true events is heart breaking.
beyond shallow to bully someone who is disabled.
This is why I stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves. I don't believe in survival of the strongest. I believe that the strong is meant to protect the weak.
Bryan Nguyen 😘
Bryan Nguyen 💯💯💯😞
Well said! Let us stand up for good against those who would hurt others for their selfishness and greed and hate. I love you all. God bless.
@Bryan Nguyen - I agree with you, but imho bullies aren't strong. They are the weakest people on Earth. They are brave when they are 6 vs 2, try to 1 vs 1 them and they will play victim. Usually they have miserable lives. I guess it's karma.
cathmarieantoinette I never said bullies are strong. In fact, I believe that if you see someone being bullied you should step in if the person being bullied cannot defend themselves. Here, the cop could have put an end to all of it by having the victims move in with him.
How could someone be so cruel?Why would you make someone suffer to that point? The police were so ignorant and careless throughout the whole situation...Wow this is just terrible that it is based off a true story. What a world.
Krimson Beauty Usually bullies are just people who have something terrible going on in their lives and want to harm other people so you can feel their pain which makes the best way to deal with them is to just ignore them. If they continue to bully that person even when he or she is ignoring them the bully is going to look stupid to other people.
SkitzozPandaz Seriously? That NEVER works. You have to beat them that's all there is to it.
SkitzozPandaz That's the dumbass textbook definition. A person like that would never go to such extents.
A real bully does it for the thrill and to feed their own superiority complex. That's all.
That's why I HATE certain cops. The ones who pretend to be useful to society but instead pinn the problems on the victims.
I would like to agree with you about certain cops being terrible and not helping others, but the problem is WAY bigger....its people in EVERY SINGLE JOB AND EVERY SINGLE NEIGHBORHOOD AND EVERY COMPANY, vocation, race, religion....its everywhere. There were people all along in this story who could have helped and MADE A DIFFERENCE....but no one did. Its something we ALLLLLL need to really take a look at and ensure that at least in OUR family/neighborhood/or whatever...that WE will not stand silent or look away!! Any neighbor, teacher, cop, doctor etc. in the life of the one having extreme troubles could stand up and help be a voice in defending them or being a part of the solution. Prejudice and hate takes many forms but it is ALWAYS wrong, destructive and should never ever be justified!!!! NOT EVER!!!
Here nearly five years later after watching the sequel, and I'm still deeply saddened by this tragedy. At this point, I've understood that this is a terrible part of human nature that we all need to fix together. None of us should shrink away from this and ignore it just because we haven't tortured or bullied someone in our lives. We at least need to educate ourselves and find safe ways to intervene in things like this in our communities and make sure that those responsible face the rightful punishments. If changing the world feels too overwhelming, at least change yourself for the better.
Every once in a while I come back to watch this, every time it is heartbreaking. Why would anyone want to do vile things towards a beautiful bright girl, yes she may have disabilities but she is still human. This makes me so sad
Most people are just saying “It’s not okay to bully disabled.” Of course that, but it’s not okay to bully anyone.
Karla Lopez yes but more so the disabled as they are dis-abled to defend themselves more than normal people. Not saying it’s right to bully anyone but just saying it worse if the person is disabled. Their life is already bad enough with a disability.
Disabled people are defenseless, its like torturing a dog, its defenseless, it cant do anything
Karla Lopez correct. I agree with you
Karla Lopez But this isn’t about people who aren’t disabled. It’s specifically about the effects of bullying disabled people. I get you’ve got no ill will, but it’s quite insensitive.
Its okay to bully bullies
I have a special needs brother with an unknown condition
He can't walk talk or move his body properly, he has brain damage and seizures
I'm lucky enough he has a supportive community that loves him like me
Michael McCall Much respect to Your brother, Hope he has A fullt Happy life
Michael McCall I HOPE YOUR BROTHER FEELS BETTER 😭😭😭
Michael McCall My brother has cerebral Palsy and he can't walk talk or move his body completely on his own and if someone was ever like that to him I would literally kill them
Michael McCall I have my brother disabled too, and I love him so much! I remember when someone push him. i literally got mad and push back and talk shit on that guy. We protecting our precious baby (^^)
Michael McCall I have a little sister and she can't hear on both of her ears well. I am so scared of what is going to happen to her in school. Some days I find myself crying because of it. I am lost and scared. We live in a place where there are a bunch of bullies and spoiled kids. Some kids talk about how they heard a story of some diseabled peraon and how they feel bad. If I told them about my sister they would just be loughing at me for having her as my sister. I even have an aunt that can't talk. I need advice on what to do.
everyone needs to see this tbh this is what i like to call an eye opener because people who are disabled get treated like this on a daily basis and everyone could actually learn something useful tbh
also if you haven't already seen the sequel to this masterpiece it's available for viewing on youtube
I saw the follow up short to this today, where Michael is older and feeling guilt and remorse. Watching that led me here to this short film. That in turn led me to read about the mother and daughter this was based upon, Fiona Pilkington. This brought tears to my eyes and a sadness to my heart. That people can treat others like this is not truly a surprise but it actually is, if you follow me.the abject failure of the housing, the police and or any other agency, the s hool system, the neighbours, friends etc.. is really upsetting. Great storytelling, very immersive. Thank you for telling this families tragic story and raising awareness.
Is this actually real? I am shaking just watching this. How could some people be so cruel!!!
The Slime Squad
It's a re-enactment of true events.
Yes In the uk in the village Barwell a mother and daughter committed suicide due to young teenagers bullying her and her child , the would throw rocks and food at the house , and many other things it eventually came to her killing both herself and her disabled daughter by setting a car on fire , the police did nothing and the people who bullied the mother and daughter into suicide didn't get any punishment , and now because it's been about 5 years they have there own family's and nice houses , they live close to me , and the police did nothing

There's this one amazing kid in my school. I don't like saying names but he is disabled and can't really communicate correctly. He's gotten bullied so much where he has cried for days. I eventually got fed up with the bullys and punched 3 in the face and 1 slammed against a locker. The victim of the bullying was standing there for a few seconds. I smiled and he ran up and hugged me. All 4 bullys got suspended and may not go to my school anymore. He's an amazing person and we should always be nice to people even if they are different then us. We are all human, don't forget that! Just live, it doesn't matter who you are. It doesn't matter what you look like or sound like. We all should hold hands and stand up together. Everyone is unique in their own way.. you can't change someone, we are all our own person.. and beautiful. ❤️

What’s the point of having cops if all there just gonna end up saying is “nothin we could do about it luv”
I know right?! USELESS!
I share that same sentiment today - work place bullying by children. It makes me very afraid for the future
"NOFFI'N VI KEN DU BOU' IT M8"
@macolyis Also good at ignoring paedophile grooming gangs .
Cops serve to protect capital, not people. This film shows us them doing their job well.
Since those kids were threatening the mom and daughter’s life, they’d be in the right to defend themselves. That’s for the US at least. I can’t speak for UK.
When I was bullied, people told me to forgive. I can’t remember how much I had to block out to try and survive. It honestly ruined me. The guilt one feels for parents and family getting involved and hurting. It’s unimaginable. Sometimes you wish you were never born or ask God why he cursed you with a mental illness that only allows you to be vulnerable and an east target. I don’t feel stronger, I just feel more broken and scared.
What upsets me more is that the parent of the bully did nothing about it. She defended him. Parents like that should be held accountable.
Bullies often have parents like that. I know from experience.
ANDREA13212 true
ANDREA13212 when I got bullied I broke their arms and bashed their head on the pole I'm strong just saying

This was really hard for me to watch, I have a son that has disabilities and, there are people that can be so cruel, and ignorant. Its pathetic that no one stepped up to show a ounce of compassion, other than the officer, that tried.... absolutely heart breaking, what they went through, and her only way out of all that pain and suffering.
The fact that it’s based on a true story is heartbreaking, the police was no help whatsoever
I genuinely don't understand what pleasure they find in bullying.
He ovi grew up messed u[ so he brings theese insecurities to others so they can experience the living hell he has
I genuinely don't understand why they are free to do it.
Right
Hurting people hurt other people. If people would heal their own hurts, they wouldn't hurt others. It's a never ending cycle, and the current justice system does little to discourage such behaviour. Usually the victim is blamed, and the perpetrators get off scott free.
I had exactly same story, and it is always my question how they enjoyed bullying beating and making trouble for a poor person like me that totally is own life and not make them any difficulties
No one cares until it’s too late.
true fact.
When it was too late, NO ONE STILL CARED
Sad truth😰
Real fact were all the SAME WE ARE ALL THE SAME WHAT BULLY SOMEONE LIKE YOU LIKE IF THAT HAPPENDS TO YOU TOO YOU I WISH BULLYS WOULD JUST DISSAPEAR I WISH OR JUST END THIS BULLY THING
The police should learn to take action before anything bad happens. Like, isn't that their JOB?
This is the most heart-breaking film I've ever seen. Even worse that it's based on the suffering of an actual woman and her beautiful child. SImply devastating.
The fact that it happened in real life, makes it even more tragic 😭
WTF? They’re even bullying her mom!

Here is the true information on the story you had just seen.
The mother's name was Fiona Pilkington, Her daughter's name was Francecca (Franky) Hardwick and there was a son that was also bullied by gang of youths in their neighborhood, his name is Anthony. Fiona lived in a town called Barwell, Leicestershire, UK. Fiona and her children were tormented for 10 years of abuse. 33 times Fiona asked for help from the local police department. Either no one showed up to assist her or an officer would down play the situation. The Loughborough Town Hall held an inquest as to the death of Fiona and her daughter Franky. They found that the mother had committed suicide. However, they also found that the Leicestershire Police also share responsibility for their deaths. They were horrified when a senior officer gave evidence at the inquest " that it was no longer the police's responsibility to deal with "low level" hooliganism and abuse." After the criticism by the town hall, the police chief apologized for failing to render assistance. No action was taken against the police department.
How long is it going to take for people to stand up for what is right instead of turning a blind eye to evil and wrongdoing? Just think if it was you that was being bullied; wouldn't you want someone to stand up for you? Then you should understand that feeling and do what is right and stand up for those that can't stand on their own.
Jumpoff A I have never seen anyone bully another that bad but if they did then I would help
Jumpoff A cant believe such apathy can exist in a country like uk..things like these are isolated incidents or are they common?
the way they portrayed-its frightening
what about Anthony?
Anand Vp yeah... its sad...
Jumpoff A No wonder the U.K. is turning into a Muslim shithole. 🙄
When "this is based on a true story" I felt really sad and I was wondering: how can people be so cruel?
If she was my sister those bullies would be picking up their teeth off of the floor.
This makes me think about this kid in my class who is different . People are so mean that whatever he does it's offensive or annoying . People are disgusting . People should show this in high schools or 5th and 6th grade classes

Do the teachers help this kid?
Jailyn B please for the love of god help him, defend him.
Chill Player If you help an ostracized kid, be prepared to be bullied along with them because that's exactly what I did a couple decades ago. It was a heavy blow to my moral compass, to say the least. If you find the courage to try, anyway... I hope you have better luck. A bit of advice: If you befriend the ostracized, don't ever betray them when the going gets tough. You won't be able to return to a normal social status even if you try. I learned that the hard way.

Jailyn B he isn't different! How rude. He is just like you but gifted
As. The mother of a disabled daughter,there were so many times I wanted to quit and do what the mother did. But I confronted the bullies,the parents,the schools,the education authority. I reduced kids to tears when I told them the statistics of them having a child with disabilities or an accident that caused disability. I made teachers and the headmaster cry when I told them how they failed my daughter and every disabled child in the school. I pressed charges against a girl who kicked my daughter in the chest so hard she left a large black bruise-luckily not breaking her sternum. Nothing came of it because she was 12-but it scared the hell out of her,and her mother moved her to another school. I moved my daughter to another school that was better. I was referred to as “scary mum” by the bullies. Nobody had ever confronted them or spoken to them like I did. Now they stay away.
People are such a**holes. It makes me want to punch them.
You are very brave. Its really heartbreaking to hear what you had to cope with.
Kids in the west are really misbehaved and they do lack basic respect for elders and other people. I don't know how could they be so. Don't parents teach them proper manners over there or what ?????????
sri sxc,it’s a mix to be honest. You have the good and the bad everywhere you go. There are so many good parents who teach their children well. Sometimes,all that hard work can be ruined by peer pressure. I’ve seen it happen with kids from good homes,good parents. They do whatever the “popular kids” say or do.
Great mum.❤
I have a 7 year old brother who's autistic. This is one of my worst nightmares. Something like this happening to him and my parents.
I’ve been on both sides and I’m autistic. Aspergers is a form of autism. When I was in middle school I’d climb on top of a cabinet in class and howl at a student because she was pretty and popular the entire class would laugh at me and I’d enjoy the attention. They were laughing with me not at me and I loved making people laugh, I know this is wrong now and I started an anti bullying campaign at my college, proudest thing I did in college even more so than graduating. I look at this video and I know if I was there I’d do anything to make this stop I’d lose my mind this would not go unpunished. Crazy always wins the fight.
I am between Level 1 And Level 2 of the spectrum. And I have ADHD, Sensory Issues.
My teacher showed this to my entire social class and by the end, if not even the middle, almost all of us were in tears. He asked nothing of us afterwards except to sit in silence and write down on a slip of paper one word to describe what we just saw and/or felt. People wrote down things such as "Bullying", "Sad", and "Shocked". I remember there being so many things I wanted to say, but all I did write was "Real", because it is, and this kind of thing happens everyday. I wish this didn't happen in our time and world. But it does. And, in my teacher's own words, it's up to us, as people, to decide whether or not we want that to change.
Olivia Martin WOW

My younger brother was disabled and had an incurable metabolic disease. He got bullied whereever he went. In school, in the neighborhood, in the youth centre... I was always there for him. I never had friends because I didn't want to be friends with people that bully my brother for his disability. He died at the age of 13 not knowing what it's like to have friends.
Clara F. but he had a great sister who was always there for him and that was you and that's all he needed I think just one person who would care for you makes all the difference in the world you're a good person there are not many people like that left anymore
Clara F. K
Clara F. What that's so sad! I'm sorry for your loss 😭
I'm so sorry for your loss. I would never bully him. I'm praying for your family
Im sorry to hear that.
I don't understand how those kids can bully someone so beautiful. Both the mother and the child. :(
Props to the acting! The mother and daughter both aced it
Nothing is scarier than feeling like you can’t protect your own child 😢💔
Becci Lily xx Righteous!
Or yourself while at it. She was bullied too
Facts
Dorothy Joseph Indeed!
Becci Lily xx how bout size 13 mens nikes?
Can’t believe there are actually people like this in the world
Encountering them is worse, I have seen it and have lost my mind at how vile people can be.
@Alfie Stokes I believe it can, no matter how nice people can be there will always be ones like this, the only way is for stricter punishment, torture etc and people wont even think of doing anything bad because they'll know the consequences of their actions are dire
Dream Gary no they need death
The native Americans, African Americans, Jewish, Latinx, and disabled citizens were victims throughout history
Why is life cruel 😢😢😢😢
Bro if I saw a girl like that I would help her to the end I really would, she deserves someone to help her and defend her! And those bullies would have been shot in the bead by me lol 😂
