Okay, here's the situation:
A friend of mine has someone that bothers them on their bus on a daily basis. Today, they threw their backpack across the bus and bent the laptop inside the backpack about 1 cm. They were informed that there was a laptop in the bag, but threw it anyway. There are several witnesses that would testify that it wasn't bent before this person threw the bag.
Other days, this year and last, he frequently insults my friend and uses poor language and whatever else toward him.
The administration has been informed many times and the most they have given him is a few day bus suspension, the assistant principal is a joke, to be quite honest. He is more apt to give someone a detention for being tardy to homeroom than to punish this person much at all after being informed several times over the course of months of his poor activities.
Because the assistant principal is doing close to nothing to help, we figure it would be appropriate to get mounds of concrete proof. According to the handbook, with the number and nature of his offenses his riding privileges should have been suspended for the year some time ago.
He has the laptop and witnesses of proof of property damage, but he could simply record the bully's threats with his mp3 player secretly to get more proof. Is this legal in MA? I know it's legal in other states. It would certainly have to get the vice principal to do something for once. He's been informed many other times and he doesn't do much of anything about it.
