1. From what I read it could be a mitigating factor, he could not understand when sick black humour is inappropriate, or the limit beyond which from just inappropriate becomes cruel and/or harassing. He could also have developed an obsessive interest and repetitive routine in doing that.

2. Obviously the judges just judge prosecuted people, after police found enough evidences for a trial or caught the culprit in the act, but police can do preliminary and cautionary investigations on the basis of founded suspicion, and I'm 100% sure Natasha's parents didn't talk lightly about bullying, although they said they didn't know the names of the bullies, but just the name of their clique.

1. The psychologist probably checked all of this out allready. His lawyer didn't seem to pursue this angle either.

2. There's really not much to be suspicious about. At this point, Natasha's parents could pursue a civil case against the bullies, but a criminal case is out of the question.

After reading both your posts I think that's exactly what Alby is getting at. The legal system is flawed. The true culprits (the girls) got away with nothing and it'll probably stay that way in the future. Go world!

This. Unless suicides and/or violence increase in a school well above the national average, there won't be serious investigations on real world bullying, and even then, the stronger and more ruthless and better organised the bullies, the harder it will be to break the code of silence amongst students.
