A North Carolina student was caught on video bullying another middle schooler on Friday at Conway Middle School, WRAL reports.
The victim’s mother, Shontae Williams, said she’s concerned about sending her 14-year old son back to school.
“I actually cried about the whole situation last night,” she said, WRAL reports. “I had been fighting back my tears from the time I had seen the video cause it really hurt me. It broke me. That’s my baby, and I know that he’s a sweetheart.”

In the video, Williams’ son is seen inside of a bathroom stall trying to leave when another student blocks him. The student then attempts to kiss the 14-year-old before pushing him around, grabbing his shirt and shoving him against the wall.
“Are you gonna snitch?” the student asked the victim as the young boy tried to protect himself from being hit.
After the incident, the student allegedly hugs Williams’ son to make light of the traumatizing situation.
Northampton County’s interim superintendent, Del Burns, sent a written statement to WRAL and said he learned of the video early on Sunday.
“The principal called the interim superintendent and discussed the matter. The principal investigated the situation throughout the day. Monday morning he met each of the students and their parents as part of the on-going investigation,” Burns wrote, according to WRAL.
Burns did not publicly state what disciplinary measures were implemented toward the boy and his accompanying peers, but Williams said, “They assured me that the boys, you know, would not be at school for a while.”
