Tell me what other way this kid can try to have a normal life. If the judge believes that this person could not work for the rest of his life then 1million over 30-40 yrs is really not much at all. Really works out to be 30-40gs a yr.
The payout is justified if there is no way that the boy could be normalised back into society which such a trauma. The system failed him on many grounds and moving schools did not eleviate this problem.
The bully should have been punished by the system but it didnt. The boy dosent have a case against the bully as it is all heresay with most probaly no circumstancial evidence to corroborate the story. Especially with the many yrs passed the bully would likely not recolect what his has done.
The education department on the other hand has documented proof which has been used in the judgement.

so i dont understand why the kid isn't suing the other kid instead of the school. if it happens at a local park, do you still sue the government. is it coz this other kids has nothing. i will keep saying it "it comes down to money". let the judge offer compensation in a non-monetary form. thats what i'm saying.
things just seem to be getting out of hand. you cant even protect yourself in your own home. if someone breaks into your house and happens to hurt himself, he can sue you. even though you never invited him in to your house.
as for thinking harder.....you have no idea mate. i am just so sick of people looking for a payout coz there life is crap. coz they never got off there butts to make something of there life. i have been on the other end and thats why i say i'm sick of it. if you had any idea what i have been through. you might think differently. so maybe you should think before you just assume that i am talking rubbish and know that i have been on both end of it.....
maybe when i get back from my trip we could catch up and talk about this. it would probably be easier to talk face to face......but i have no further intention on responding to this thread anymore...
