Victims of a lie.
A 6-year-old boy admitted that his story of being beaten up by young bullies was a lie. I wonder how the 5-year-old, who was identified as the "primary aggressor" is holding up.
Have you, or anyone you know, ever been the victim of a lie?
Olympia Police said last Friday they had identified a 5-year-old as a "primary aggressor" but wouldn't file charges because he was too young.
But after interviewing those involved, officers went back to the boy, who admitted he made the story up.
The story captured the nation's attention as to the dangers of bullying. A GoFundMe site that had been set up for the family's medical expenses reached over $45,000 before donations were stopped.

When my daughter was in first grade, she got in trouble because she pulled her pants down in front of the class. (Not sure where she learned to "moon" at such a young age, but that's beside the point. 
)
Well, a few days later one of the boys in her class told the teacher that she had done it again. So when she reported that to me I sat my daughter down and had a serious talk. She admitted that she had done it once, that first time, but was adamant that she never did it again. I believed her, and told her teacher so. It turns out that this boy liked to get other kids in trouble, and knew this was something that would be believed. (I never liked that boy much, but his home was a bit troubled, so I understood.)
Anyway, I was very glad that I hadn't doubted my little girl.
