A 12-year-old boy pleaded guilty to a simple assault charge on Wednesday, July 10, after a school fight with another boy that ultimately\u00a0preceded the victim’s death<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Daily Times, a news outlet that serves Delaware County, Pennsylvania, reported that the unidentified 12-year-old had been charged as a minor in Delaware County Juvenile Court for an incident earlier in the year that made national headlines. On January 10, the boy\u00a0engaged in a fight with then-11-year-old Bailey O’Neill\u00a0at Darby Township School. The incident saw him\u00a0attack O’Neill, punching him repeatedly in the face and causing the young victim to fall to his knees. Although he did try to protect himself, O’Neill did not fight back. The fight lasted for 30 seconds before school supervisors stopped it.<\/p>\n

O’Neill complained to the school nurse about pain in his left eye and cheek. While he was dismissed, two weeks later, he began experiencing seizures and had to undergo a medically induced coma at a Wilmington, Delaware, hospital. When a prognosis showed no signs of improvement, O’Neill’s parents made the decision to\u00a0take him off life support<\/a>\u00a0just a day after his 12th birthday.<\/p>\n

While the family’s attorney did not pursue homicide charges against the 12-year-old assailant\u00a0and an autopsy ruled out a connection between the beating and the seizures that followed, O’Neill’s parents blamed the attack\u00a0for playing a role in their son’s death.<\/p>\n

As part of his plea agreement, the 12-year-old will perform 24 hours of community service and attend victim awareness counseling and\u00a0anger management classes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Even children are capable of succumbing to temper issues and consequently performing violent acts. For kids required to enroll in\u00a0teen anger management<\/a>\u00a0programs, consider the\u00a0online anger management classes<\/a>\u00a0of Conflict Coaching & Consulting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
