SOUTH FAYETTE, Pa.
The mother of a 15-year-old South Fayette High School student convicted of disorderly conduct wants a judge to reverse the decision and the district to offer better protection.
The students mother said school officials forced her son to delete an iPad recording that showed he was bullied in school.
You didnt hear, Go to the principals office. You didnt hear, Christian, are you OK? You didnt hear, Lets leave the room for a while. It was Sit down. Thats how they dealt with it, said Shea Love.
Love told Channel 11 her son was found guilty of disorderly conduct for making the secret recording, and now she plans to file a lawsuit. She wants the charges dropped and better protection for students who are being bullied.
Im sure it would be easy to move forward and let this go. After all, it is a summary citation, but you know, this is my child, Love said.
Her son said he wants other young people in his position to have a voice and not be afraid.
"It's not a South Fayette thing. It's everywhere," he said.
Channel 11 attended a school board meeting to talk to officials on Tuesday. Reporter Timyka Artist was told "no comment."
" This happened in a suburb south of Pittsburgh. A disabled boy was being bullied. When the boy complained , it fell on deaf ears.
The boy recorded the bullying incident and was in turn charged with disorderly conduct and brought in front of the magistrate. "
