ABSTRACT

Jimbo Lane and his sister, Katie, saw a local teenage tough attack a 10-year-old kid right after school. Billy really hurt the little boy. ey reported the incident and gave the principal the bully’s name. Somehow Billy Šgured out who told on him and now he is harassing the Lanes. A big, rough fellow, he shoved Jimbo down a ¬ight of stairs and he touched Katie’s breasts, making coarse sexual remarks. He says that he has just “begun to get even with them for ‘messing’ with him.” e intensity of Billy’s attacks on Jimbo and Katie is rapidly escalating.
