Teasing turned into cowardly bullying of disabled youth by four teenage bullies...




 Four teenage bullies allegedly forced a disabled boy into a home in the US and tattooed the word "poop d***" on his behind.



Police have charged the teens over the May 10 incident, in which the 14-year-old victim was told he'd no longer be teased at school if he agreed to be inked, The Smoking Gun website reports.



An affadavit said the New Hampshire student, who suffered from self-esteem issues, was frequently ridiculed because he once wore a Spider Man cap to school.



The group took the boy to a home in the city of Concord, in New Hampshire's south-east, where he was tattooed with a penis and the words "poop d***".



The group allegedly told the boy they would bash him if he tried to escape and that "he was going to get tattooed whether he liked it or not".



A raid on the home turned up tattooing equipment.



The teens have been charged with assault, endangering the welfare of a minor and tattooing without a licence.



A fifth boy is expected to be charged.

Hi Peter,
What a very frightening news.
It seems that many teenagers today are too exposed to violence and sex which effect their behaviour.

Bullying is always a concern, but bullying the vulnerable is even worse.

This story was so upsetting to me. I have seen lots of mistreatment of those who cannot defend themselves. I find it cowardly and reprehensible. I wish there was a way to have the misreants receive the same embarrassment and helplessness of their victims as consequences of their behavior!
