THE 13 YEAR OLD SEVENTH GRADE FEMALE STUDENT LEFT ERVINTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND WAS LATER DISCOVERED ABOUT A MILE AND A HALF FROM SCHOOL WET AND MUDDY AFTER SPENDING THE AFTERNOON IN THE WOODS. THE GIRL TOLD HER FATHER SHE LEFT SCHOOL BECAUSE SHE WAS BEING BULLIED. SINCE THE INCIDENT, MEASURES HAVE BEEN PUT IN PLACE TO ENSURE SOMETHING LIKE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN.
