NEW YORK (CBS) Four ruthless young men promised a 14-year-old boy they would stop picking on him if he let them tattoo his buttocks with an image of a penis and the words "poop d**k" -- and then they proceeded to do exactly that, say police.

According to The Smoking Gun, a New Hampshire boy was enticed to a Concord home on May 10, where three Concord High School students and one former student warned the teen that he'd be getting the tattoo "whether he liked it or not," said investigators.

Investigators said the boy asked what would happen if he tried to flee and the bullies told him they'd catch him and beat him up, reported the website.

The victim, a ninth grader, has been "frequenly targeted for ridicule by upper classmen," investigators said, according to The Smoking Gun. They said the victim suffers from "learning disabilities and self-esteem issues."

Police have arrested the four suspects, Donald Wyman, 20, Ryan Fisk, 19, Travis Johnston, 18, and Blake VanNest, 18. A fifth attacker, who is 15, is also expected to be charged.

The alleged bullies are charged with numerous crimes, including assault, endangering the welfare of a minor, criminal threatening, and tattooing without a license, says the website.

by Farfelette July 5, 2011 4:15 PM EDT: Schools offer LIP SERVICE ONLY about how they are "anti bully" but in reality not only don't they give a damn, they can't do anything at all to the punkass students in their school.
The biggest part of the problem is the BS parents out there. They defend their punkass brats no matter what. They make excuses, repeat the psycho lies told by their punkass kids, blame the victims of their kid's bullying and threaten the schools with legal reprocussions if the school attempts to punish their "little angel".
Remember the school yard bully who called you maens and threw rocks at you?! HE WAS A SOFTY compared to the out of control, violent, impudent vicious animals and thugs in public schools today.; Reply to this comment

they had a clip of the mother of one of the boys on the early show. she seems to think that it was ok for the boys to do what they did. they didn't mean to be horrible. they just thought it was funny.

what is wrong with the woman? was she one of those b*s in high school who bullied anyone she could? is this genetic?

You know what, go afer these boy's parents and get them where it hurts, their precious time and their money - take them to court as well and charge them for what their sons are doing, the lets see if this mother thinks THAT'S OK!!!


by maccount May 25, 2010 1:35 PM EDT: Sorry, did I say 9 year-old-boy, I meant 14 year-old boy, but regardless, you just don't do this kind of stuff to anyone - and again, I question the parents in all of this - they have to know their own sons!!!

by wlhoppers May 24, 2010 1:17 PM EDT: NO PLEA BARGAINS for this despicable crime. These four should be thrown in prison with the pedophiles...I wonder how much they'll like bullying then?

But, the investigators say the 9th grader "has frequently been targeted for ridicule by upper classemen." Which means school authorities, and very likely, the boy's parents, knew this harrassment was going on. Why are they not being held accountable? The school, at least, is partially responsible for allowing this youngster to be tormented. Justice for everyone please.; Reply to this comment


by vielmann May 24, 2010 11:15 AM EDT: What they did was tantamount to rape. The same idea of power over the victim. As far as I'm concerned it was definitely sexual assault, and not just mere bullying.; Reply to this comment


by VBnews May 24, 2010 8:44 AM EDT: kill the idiots, what a waste of human life. They will obviously never amount to anything positive in life; Reply to this comment
