The Family Took Action
After hearing the verdict that had been reached by the school, the Combs family was left in utter disbelief and could not believe what they had just heard. Hannah suffered burns of the first degree, but the bully’s punishment for her was not even close to being severe enough to have any impact.
The school administration expelled the bully, which allowed him to escape the consequences of his extreme actions. On the other hand, Hannah would be required to remove fifty percent of her hair, which is her most prized physical characteristic. It seemed as though the school’s disciplinary commission did nothing more than slap the bully on the hands, but they made no effort to correct his destructive behavior in any way. The decision was made by the family to deal with the situation on their own.
