BAYONNE AND BEYOND -- According to a report on 1010 WINS news, an 11-year-old Bayonne sixth grader who attends John Bailey School says that kids have been bullying him since the start of the year, and school administrators haven't done anything.

The report says that the boy's mother has filed a police report against the bullies, who are 12 years old.

The boy said the bullies have stolen his bike, beaten him up, and harassed him over the internet.

According to the story, the boy's mother "said he has a heart condition that causes him to faint because of a sudden drop in blood pressure and that the added stress can kill him."

She said her son has gotten so depressed that he doesn't want to go to school anynmore.

A recently passed New Jersey law, the Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act, mandates that schools address any bullying incidents.

Being a parent at the school and knowing both parties involved and having a child who was bullied by the same child who is making these accusations, I feel the media should get everyones side of the story. Anti-Bullying laws were put into place to protect those children who have to spend everyday being tormented by other children and I feel terrible for them and the laws should be in place, but when a child and his parents make false accusations against children and have the media get involved it takes away from the children who really need the help. It also shows the school and the staff in the school in a bad light. Our school and our staff are wonderful and they should not be persecuted in this way...
