Student suicide leads to bullying allegations
Greenwich, CT
A tragic incident occurred a day after the first day of school at Greenwich High School. A 15-year old boy died of a self-inflicted gunshot from a shotgun.
The investigation thus far has revealed some indications on social media sites that he faced troubles. On Google+ he posted a picture of himself holding a knife to his eye, along with the words, ""Hey if I were to stab my eye out due to school caused insanity, who would miss me?"
Shortly after that he posted, ""I have chosen to go with 3 peoples advice and kill myself," he wrote July 7 after telling his friends on the network that he had swallowed pills. "I just wish it was faster."

Pennsylvania Law Doesn't Set Lab Safety Standards
Harrisburg, PA
Seven students in the Wilson Middle School were hospitalized after a fireball erupted during a chemistry experiment. All seven students have been released from the hospital.
The science teacher poured rubbing alcohol into a beaker, then lit it with a flame. The teacher grabbed a fire extinguisher and doused the flames.
This incident highlights the concerns that there aren't lab safety standards across the board.

Parents: Bullying Sent Teen to Hospital
Ellettsville, IN
Two parents in Ellettsville are upset over an attack in Ellettsville Middle School that hospitalized a 13-year old girl after a beating. They claim the incident is a symptom of a larger bullying problem that is not being addressed.
“(My daughter) would go to the bathroom and beg me to take her out of school. The girls would knock the books out of her arms as she walked down the hallway. They would call her fat,” said Collins, one of the parents.

Miami-Dade Police Charge 15-Year-Old Boy With Manslaughter After Fatal School Bus Shooting
Homestead, FL
A teenage boy faces charges including manslaughter after fatally shooting a 13-year-old girl on a private school bus in Homestead Tuesday in front of her sister and other students, Miami-Dade Police said.
Police said the 15-year-old boy also faces a charge of carrying a concealed firearm, police said.
Authorities said the shooting appears to have been an accident, and it is likely that no one else will face charges.
The girl, who was identified as Lourdes Guzman, was airlifted to Miami Children's Hospital after the 6:45 a.m. shooting, and she later died, Miami-Dade Police said. It wasn't immediately known where she was shot.
The incident happened while the two were en route to school, police said. The boy took out the firearm from his backpack and then began displaying it, according to the arrest form.

Forsyth Student’s Restraining Order against Another Student Raises Legal Questions
Forsyth County, MA
A Forsyth County mother is criticizing local school officials over their handling of a restraining order she filed for her daughter, who alleged that a male student groped her and threatened to rape her at a local high school.
School officials declined to comment on the specific incident, which happened in September, citing federal student privacy laws, but say they do everything they can to comply with a restraining order, even though they are not legally responsible for enforcing it. But a legal expert says schools are entering new territory in trying to deal with students who file restraining orders against each other.
The mother told the Winston-Salem Journal in late October that she has since pulled her daughter out of the high school because of safety concerns.
