After the incident, the school received bomb threats.

A local police officer said, “The school called police Monday after receiving a threat in the mail, which demanded pupils and teachers involved in the bullying to publicly apologize.”

A number of students witnessed how the boy was bullied.

Witnesses said that he was beaten in a washroom, and forced to shoplift, put a dead sparrow in his mouth, and even eat dead bees.

Just imagine what the poor boy had to endure every day.

They even said that their teacher knew about the problem, but did not take actions to stop the bullying.

The boy’s parents are trying to sue three students, their parents, and the Otsu Municipal Government, amounting to almost 77.2 million yen (approximately US$966,235).
