The incident, involving hair-pulling and other forms of bullying, was initially recognized and addressed by the school but was not deemed a &#8220;serious situation&#8221; until September, following a complaint from the student&#8217;s parents. One of the perpetrators has been referred to the police and family court. The school, in response to inquiries, expressed a desire to sincerely support the victim and regrets the incident. The vice principal emphasized the school&#8217;s ongoing commitment to addressing and preventing bullying. <\/span><b>Source: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www3.nhk.or.jp\/fukuoka-news\/20231108\/5010022393.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NHK<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-156617\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/fnn_school-classroom_2023_WEB.jpg?resize=1210%2C680&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Bullying Incident at Kitakyushu High School Injures Freshman\" width=\"1210\" height=\"680\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/fnn_school-classroom_2023_WEB.jpg?w=1210&amp;ssl=1 1210w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/fnn_school-classroom_2023_WEB.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/fnn_school-classroom_2023_WEB.jpg?resize=1024%2C575&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/fnn_school-classroom_2023_WEB.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
