Beaten, mocked and tormented by classmates, Noel Estevez begged to escape his middle-school nightmare — but in the end, he felt the only way out was at the point of a knife.
The bullied Bronx teen told his family, “I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die, I can feel it,” and begged them to get him out of IS 117, sources told The Post.
“He told his father, ‘I don’t want to go to school, because they are going to kill me,’ ” said Marisol Perez, a family friend of Noel, 14, who has been charged with murder for fatally stabbing one of his tormentors, classmate Timothy Crump, also 14.
“His father said, ‘Don’t worry.’ His father went to school on Tuesday and spoke to the principal and told him everything that’s going on.”
What was going on was a campaign of bullying by neighborhood kids led by Timothy.
They called his mom a “whore,” mocked Noel’s stutter and even peed on his family’s apartment door.
Tormented, Noel had tried to hang himself in May.
I blame it on the school, which never lift a finger to stop the bullying and abuse.
Noel's family tried several times to get their son transferred. This is a very sad story....pretty messed up for 14 y/o kids to be going thru this. The bully was suspended for bullying another student and he waited outside the school to attack Noel. Evidently Noel finally snapped. He upgraded from a pipe to a kitchen knife for protection. Why didn't any adult intervene in a constructive manner?
Basically he just did what many do in defending themselves now days but will face trial as they do. Its just why people look at schools and crime when accessing where to buy a home now days. Others remove and home school. I certainly won't have sent him to school if I thought he was endangered. One only has to look at the change of school having been the safest place to one of most dangerous in some places. Why we keep kids such as the bully in our schools when they are turning them into what we see in prisons is beyond me.

Littleton is one of the safest, nicest and most affluent areas of the Denver Metro. Great schools too. Look what happened there.
This stuff, bullying, has nothing to do with where you buy a home.
My oldest son was bullied by about 5 kids when we moved to Maryland. Scarred him pretty well, the school didn't really help. It look a lot to get the school to even acknowledge it. I finally caught up to one of the Dad's of the bullying kids. Stopped it.
Sent him free, give him counseling, and give him a medal for killing a criminal. Death to all those morning the little hoodrat.
