Nine-year-old Daquan Wilson used to be a busy boy with a love for drawing and playing hoops. But since three other students at Elkins Elementary in Kensington beat him up in the schoolyard in June, Daquan has not been himself. His mother, Christine Wilson, says he's shunned his favorite hobbies, is sullen and has been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Before the new school year began, school district officials assigned a bodyguard to protect Daquan against the bullies who attacked him. The guard, really a lunchtime aide, follows Daquan to recess, lunch and the bathroom, according to Daquan and his mother. "I didn't like [the bodyguard] because I didn't want this man to walk around with me," said Daquan. "I wanted to be like other kids." No one knows what prompted the June 17 attack. His mother says three bullies knocked her son to the ground and ordered him to get on his knees and apologize. They wouldn't say what for or why.

Since when is everyone entitled to a perfect life?

He got beat up on the playground. It happens. It's been happening since before history.

What a lot of pansies our nation is turning into.
