STORY: STOP THE BULLYING! Gay Student Viciously Attacked In Classroom
The victim, Kaleb Kula, is a sixth-grader at Elkton Middle School in Maryland and told ABC-2 News:
“I knew I was probably going to get injured, I wasn’t really scared because I knew what would happen.”
Kaleb also said he’s been the victim of bullying at school for years. Kaleb was diagnosed with a form of autism, along with attention deficit, hyperactivity disorder.
James Kula, Kaleb’s father said:
“At least kids that don’t have special needs can defend themselves a little bit more. He’s pretty much defenseless.”
During a typical day at school Kaleb says the other kids: “Called me homosexual. They try kicking me, pushing me, punching me, and a lot of other things.”
His parents say they’ve made dozens of requests for help.
“It’s very stressful I mean you worry all the time, is he going to have a good day, are they going to do anything about when he has trouble with other students,” said Kaleb’s mother, Jessica Kula.
It’s so sad that kids endure such bullying at such a young age.
