Eight-year-old Lyric Elliott says life at her Scarborough school has been an absolute nightmare for the last 18 months thanks to bullies who refuse to leave her alone and an education system that has done too little to protect her.
Now, after 163 visits to the office at William Tredway Junior Public School — and repeated pleas to school staff to keep her daughter safe — the young girl’s mother has decided “enough is enough.
“I pulled her out of school last week,†Jacqueline Elliott told the Toronto Sun Wednesday. “I just couldn’t take it any more.â€
She said the final straw came last Thursday when five boys pushed Lyric to the ground, then poked and prodded her with sticks.
“She was bruised and scratched from head to toe,†Jacqueline said of her daughter’s injuries.
Lyric said she loved going to school before she, her baby sister and mom fled an abusive situation in Calgary and moved to the Markham Rd. and Lawrence Ave. E. area in 2008.
But now she’s simply terrified because of the constant harassment she claims she faces.
“It happens just about every day,†the soft-spoken youngster said of the abuse she has allegedly endured. “It’s a bad dream that I can’t wake up from.â€
Lyric now has nightmares quite regularly because of the bullying. All she wants is to go to school and feel safe.
“Just stop bullying me and leave me alone,†Lyric said, reaching out to her alleged abusers. “They think it’s funny when they see me cry or get hurt.â€
The little said she believes her fellow students single her out “because I’m white.†Her mother said she couldn’t help wonder if race was a factor when Lyric came home from the predominantly black school asking to take a bath.
“I asked her why and she told me it was because the kids were calling her a ‘dirty white girl,’†added Jacqueline, who added that several members of her family are African-Canadian.
In one of the worst incidents, Lyric’s mother claims three first-grade boys threw Lyric on the ground and took turns “dry humping her.â€
“Only one of the boys was suspended,†Jacqueline said. “I was told the other two hadn’t been in any trouble before.â€
Despite the recent passing of Bill 157 by the province, which is suppose to combat bullying by requiring school staff to file a report on all such incidents, the frustrated mom insisted she has had difficulty getting action.

It took mom 163 visits to come to her senses. I guess PC runs deep in Canada.

This is a horrible story

It is sick, like the one in South Hadley.

I'd be showing up at mother-****ers' houses with a baseball bat. Let junior see his ol' man writhing on the floor and then ask him if he'll ever look at your daughter cross-eyed again.
My boy was being picked on and I let the principal know real fast that if he had to have Little Bastards arrested he'd better do it. If Mama and Papa Bastard had anything to say I'd be happy to meet them.

They can convert to Islam and join Al-Qaeda and be with the terrorist scum that they have a lot in common with. Obama too is a bully using the bully pulpit.

I expect you might have difficulty locating any such individual at the little bastard's address. At a guess.

...and that's why they're known as 'little bastards'.
