Excerpt from CBCNews
Two 17-year-old Burlington students have been charged with assault with a weapon in what Halton Regional Police suspect was a case of hazing.
Police said five Grade 9 students were walking home Tuesday when two vehicles carrying senior high school students pulled up and forced the younger group into a wooded area.
The older students allegedly beat the victims with paddles, abused them verbally and scrawled inappropriate comments on their faces. Full story.

As a student of M.M Robinson High School, I would have to say that “gummering” grade 9 students is not a suprise. In fact, it happens every year, by an insignificant handful of older male bullies. This IS NOT who M.M Robinson Students are. Our School is filled with smart, athletic and helpful students who don’t deserve to be classified with this 1% of bullies. So please do not make up random facts about what happened to these grade 9 students or judge our school based on this hazing. We do not deserve that. Thank you. – Nicole Grade 10.
