Students suspended for bullying Jamey Rodemeyer

The students involved with bullying Jamey Rodemeyer have been suspended from school.

NYT has more on the story:

The Williamsville Central School District suspended several teens last week following a criminal investigation into Rodemeyer's September suicide, the Buffalo News reported.

The suspensions came after Amherst town police failed to find enough evidence to charge the students who made the vicious taunts.

"[The police\] shared some information with us, and we followed up," Superintendent Scott Martzloff told the Buffalo News.

Martzloff wouldn't say how many were suspended, or provide any names. The teens were likely to be barred from school for up to five days, the News reported.

I'm sorry, but this is not enough. More should happen to these students. They need to be held accountable for this. Jamey is dead because their ignorance and stupidity. Receiving this slap on the wrist sends a message that nothing will happen and nothing will get better. I hope other students start speaking out on this issue and push for stronger protections in school. These suspensions are unacceptable.
