And was in tears after watching it. I live in SF and substitute teach, when I have lunch and yard duty I step in when I see bullying and confront the bullies and ask them why are they bothering this kid? The bully usually walks away from me not saying a word. I then make sure to focus on the bullied kid the rest of recess and try to talk with them.
