Over the past 48 hours, a video has been making rounds online showing two boys picking on another school student. The incident took place at a school in Portland and the students involved are said to be 9, 10 and 12 years old.
In the 48-second-long video, one student, seemingly, the youngest of the three can be seen in distress as he argued with the other two boys who were badgering him.
Seconds later it was determined that the young boy should get a “kunk”, the boy was next held which caused an uproar “lef mi alone” he screamed and shouted as he tried to get free of the boy who was holding him.
The tussle quickly turned into a fight that the young student could not handle as the older boy proceeded to land several heavy blows to his upper body. The beating resulted in the younger student falling to the ground and other students coming to his rescue to pick him up.
The matter is currently being investigated by the Portland police who is also in contact with the parents of the students.
