It's criminal, it's abuse, it's completely unexceptable & it deserves hash punishment. These acts are degrading, physicaly & mentally harmfull & many of the vitims will probably be seeing long lasting effects. Not only should they recieve the full extent of the law's arm, they should be dismissed from the school not just the prom or graduation. The school should also be hit with a civil law suit not just because they're name is attached to this incident more so because there had to be a prior atmosphere that allowed things to get that far & to assure others that the school system will take more preventive steps so they'll not be a repeat. Hazing has been outlawed in many schools & if I'm not mistaken in the military too, all for very good reasons, say a resulting death. No quarter given here. Barry
