Whatever became of the Northampton H.S. Six high school students who were charged with bullying Phoebe Prince, an Irish immigrant classmate, to death in Massachusetts?:



NORTHAMPTON, Massachusetts — Two teens accused of harassing a 15-year-old Irish-born classmate who later hanged herself were sentenced Wednesday to a year of probation, the first of five anticipated plea deals in a case that drew worldwide attention to school bullying.

Phoebe Prince's crying mother approved the deals finalized in Hampshire Superior Court, where Sean Mulveyhill and Kayla Narey, both 18, were sentenced for their roles in the bullying that preceded Phoebe's suicide in January 2010.

Three other former South Hadley High School students are expected to accept similar plea arrangements Thursday in a nearby juvenile courthouse, about 100 miles west of Boston:

Final Defendant Austin Renaud:

NORTHAMPTON – A Hampshire Superior Court judge agreed Tuesday to seal the record of the statutory rape charge against Austin Renaud, one of the defendants in the Phoebe Prince case.

The charge was dropped at the request of Prince’s family on May 5, the same day the cases of the other five defendants were resolved. Although he was not convicted and his case never went to trial, the charge could have shown up on a background check by a potential employer or school, according to Renaud’s lawyer, Terrence M. Dunphy. Prosecutor Steven Gagne did not oppose the motion to seal the record.

Prince, 15, hanged herself in 2010 following what prosecutors say was a period of bullying in school. Her story made international headlines and helped spark a campaign against school bullying. Renaud was not charged with harassing or bullying Prince.

Man, you can get away with anything if you're a high school student in this country.

No, they will be better prepared to deal with bullies when they are ADULTS.
