From the point of view of a catholic JKD practitioner, violence is only morally wrong if it is unwarranted. Being savagely beaten, threatened with knives and lit on fire (that is the most *&%ed up thing I've ever heard of) certainly warrants self defense and whatever level of violence is needed to preserve his life. In a spiritual sense, he shouldn't fight to hurt his enemies, but he should fight as hard and fiercely as he has to. I know it sounds like semantics, but personally it makes a big difference.
This is the kind of school violence that never makes the news.
Has he tried to get any help from the police?
