Bullying Victim Decides to Leave Town

It's a sad update to a bullying story we told you about earlier this month. 15 year old Brendan Annis used to enjoy classes at Leo Hayes High School, but now he's been bullied so severely that he's moving out of the province. Annis was stalked and harassed by his peers after he decided to break up with his girlfriend. His dad, Fred Annis, tells us

His dad, Fred Annis, tells CHSJ News it was a tough call to make, but they hope a change of scene will help Brenden get back on track with school and into a healthier state of mind. 

Brenden's parents removed the teen from school for several weeks, but as soon as he came back the bullies started it up again. Dianne Wilkins, the superintendent of school district 18, telling us earlier this month that they'd hired an external investigator to review the situation. 

According to the family, the school didn't get back to them when promised that they would work to find a solution.
