Bullies Teabag Children Halo-style

On January 27th, 2008 in Uncategorized -

Halo is known for many things including teabagging in online matches, but now it has reached schoolyards, with APP reporting that bullies in a Point Pleasant, NJ school district are teabagging other children.

This was first reported through resident Jane Chmielwski, who said her son was assaulted by a group of boys, one of whom held him to the ground while another put his crotch to his head. It was documented with a cell phone camera. The act has been classified as sexual harassment, with APP acknowledging the act being inspired by Halo, “in which players can perform a posturing move over a defeated enemy,” as noted by the site.

Reports of such acts has prompted school administrators to consider a new bullying policy that would punish students for incidents occurring both on and off the school premises.
