Mexico's Supreme Court ordered a private school on Friday to give $33,000 (thirty three thousand US dollars) in compensation to a seven-year-old boy who was bullied by other students with a teacher's approval....Adults behaving badly.....The child has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
It was the first time that the court ruled on bullying, an issue that turned into national debate after a series of high-profile cases prompted President Enrique Pena Nieto to promise action last year.
The court said in a statement that its ruling establishes "specific recommendations for the government in order to identify, prevent and combat a phenomenon so harmful as bullying, at the national level."
The court said in a statement that it ruled against a school in the central State of Mexico "because one of its teachers incited the mistreatment" and for "negligence by the school for not taking any measures to prevent and combat the harassment."
"While this disorder cannot be clearly defined as a disability, children who suffer from it are in an especially vulnerable situation, which requires reinforced protective measures."
