But first
Hannah’s parents had refused to put Hannah back in school until the boy who assaulted her was removed from the building. They argued that he had assaulted her and done serious harm to her body, which was true. In that context, they didn’t feel safe unless he was forced to leave.
The school needed to return to the incident and look back on its decision. Hannah had grown in popularity online and there was a lot of pressure on the school to make things right. Also, they had a strong argument that it was not a safe environment for their daughter at all.
