What about the adults who did nothing? Will they be charged?

I just finished getting my snowblower in order. We won't be getting anything significant.

I too support holding children accountable for the repercussions of their actions while holding blameless the teachers and administrators who have a duty of care.
Because this makes total sense.....

Hoboken and JC are really the only walkable cities I can think of, even then it all depends on where in those cities you live. You'll end up needing a car pretty much everywhere here unfortunately. Relying 100% on public transportation is no fun.

>Because the school is not a jury
No. Punishing the victim along with the assailant is not justice, it's not fair, it's not moral, and it's not protecting anybody.
Find out who is the bully, and discipline them up to an including legal charges. Charge the parents if they try to stop it.
TEACH THE ASSAILANTS THAT THEY WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.

I was bullied severely in elementary school by a few classmates, who also physically assaulted me on the regular, and the school didn't do jack shit about it.
Absolutely support charging anybody that bullies other people, and their parents should face consequences, too.

So, your contention is that the only reason people are talking about it here is for clout? And then I'm dumb for asking you to clarify that that is, indeed, your contention? Lol. Ok.

Or it'll be that shitty heavy snow that the kids can't enjoy, and I'm stuck shoveling in the rain, I hurt my back, I get addicted to pills, my wife leaves me and takes the kids, I am forced out of my own home, I end up living under the bridge by the Y. Hope it's not that.

>I grew up and knew people who literally were pieces of shit regardless of how their parents tried to correct their behavior and instill values and morals in them. Some people are just shitty people; sometimes it’s their upbringing, sometimes, it’s just their personalities.
Those kinds of people are a very very very small percentage of the population. We are talking about psychopaths and sociopaths. Those are exceptions not the rule. Everything else is poor upbringing (which is sometimes out of the parents control due to other factors). Personalities are developed. Humans are social animals that look to others to see how to behave. Humans raised without other humans aren't human at all and never learn to be. There are some genetic components to this but not to the degree that parents should be let off the hook (except for those exceptions).
The way kids were in the past doesn't excuse new resources and information. Kids are now being taught emotional regulation and coping skills, kindness, etc from early ages now.
And if your kid is still awful then you have a duty to protect others from them as best you can. If a kid is a psychopath or sociopath and they don't act then it's still on the parents.
>That being said, at 14 you know right from wrong
Yes, they know right from wrong. But teenagers don't have completely formed brains, understanding of consequences and don't always think rationally and more easily succumb to groupthink. So kids are more mature than others. They aren't blameless by any means but IMO the people with more blame are being punished less or not at all.

no this is very much not true for the majority of the state. You can easily get away without a car in most parts of Hoboken, jersey city, etc but but outside the NY metro area it will be difficult if not impossible without a car.

These people have convinced him that what you and I would call real charities are scams.
