Quite seriously - this story downplays what is clearly a string of bullying incidents. In this case the victim is pelted with sweets. The intention is not to injure, but to humiliate.
This story then adds more humiliation to that which the victim has already suffered.

One can view all the commenters making the same point, Malcolm, simply by clicking "worst rated"

Utterly depressing.

Ah, April Fools' Day - the only day of the year that newspapers will print lies and admit it.

Very good.

If the police mentioned "assault" at all, it might have been because they were fed up with bullying be treated as a joke. You can just imagine the "marshmallow chucking isn't a crime" bollocks. Well, yes it is actually. But in the meantime, stop being an arsehole. Anyway, isn't having a word with parents exactly what Mail-ites want the police to do?

I don't normally bother green arrowing good comments on the Mail but this time I have. There are a few, surprisingly. All red.

Green arrow for Malcolm.
