If you did not make-up the story, then someone is not being completely honest with you.
The kid may have scars, but no father thinks being held down and beaten, thrown from the top of the bleachers, beaten over the head with bottles, and lit on fire is just boys being boys.
If that stuff was going on, the administration at that private Christian school would jump on those kids with both feet, either because it is the right thing to do or out of self interest. If word got out that the administration was allowing bullies to rule the school, the other parents would flee with their kids and tuition to another school.
