He added that his children have been victims of bullying since joining the school in January. Although the parents had reported prior incidents to the school authorities, it was of no avail.The video recorded by a fellow student shows that no adult intervened for over 30 seconds. The upset father of the little girl took to Facebook to express his anger against the school. He wrote:"I want to set up a rally and confront the school head-on... The lack of security is unreal, and the lack of security on the bus is ridiculous… The bullying must stop!!!While discussing the incident with Local10, the parents explained that the Coconut Palm Academy administrators and counselors had been troubled by the frequent violent encounters between students both inside and outside school premises. Shockingly, an assistant principal for the school urged the parents to "enroll their three children elsewhere."However, in a recent statement, Miami-Dade Public Schools officials said that the student who was arrested would be charged accordingly and that all those involved in the incident would be "disciplined according to the Code of Student Conduct." It further stated:"The safety and wellbeing of our students is of the utmost importance. This school district goes to great lengths to promote the values of restraint and respect as well as using social media responsibly. We ask that parents reinforce these principles at home."The parents told News7 they would be home-schooling their three children to keep them safe.
