On Sunday October 2nd Kayden Culp, a 10-year-old special-needs child with a hearing impairment, was set on fire by older children in central Texas. He was severely burned, requiring being air-lifted to the hospital. Before being placed into a medially-induced coma Kayden told his parents that another boy "did this to me, he set me on fire." A juvenile has been charged with first degree arson. It seems as if this is a lesser charge than might be appropriate, at least to many in the lay public. What is the administration's position on the charges that have been filed in the Culp case? What is the administration's position on the role of criminal courts in addressing bullying? How is the administration addressing bullying?
