I love how Ben’s family are so supportive about their children getting an education

[@charlottem.1477]

I love how even the older brother is very supportive of Ben’s schooling

[@lindagregory5125]

Oh my goodness after 11 schools and he’s still going through this. This is wrong it’s truly racism. I feel sorry for him and his family. I pray he doesn’t drop out of school. The teachers should step in and stop this. I wasn’t a gypsy growing up. My father was in the military. People made fun of us when we didn’t go to schools on the military base. So I can relate a little bit. My heart goes out to those poor kids. God Bless Them And Their Families 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️

[@TexasRosary]

You are a a very compassionate person! GOD bless you!

As a Black American watching this it literally is worse being a Gypsy than being Black. That's crazy.

[@Ali-in-Wonderland.]

I wish there was a way to see if a private school would take him in and protect him accordingly and then if so, a GoFundMe can be created for him and I have a feeling a lot of people would contribute to this very articulate and kind young young man’s educational journey, so his family wouldn’t be burdened with priv school expenses yet he would be getting the best of education and hopefully be in a place that is classy enough to not allow any kind of bullying or harm to others for any reason. I was a teacher at a private school here in the United States, and, he would be highly likely to be excepted and thrive but I do not know that UK school system very well but I would assume if you pay a high tuition to a reputable school will protect Ben from this atrocious bullying.

[@Ali-in-Wonderland.]

I said the UK school system which I am not familiar with, but I also remembered that Ireland is not part of the UK so I am not familiar with the Irish school system and I just wanted to make that distinguish between Ireland and the United Kingdom. I apologize if I offended anybody.

I’m just wondering why he can’t be home schooled?? There’s no shame in that 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@carolflynn7933]

Breaks my heart the bullying 😢. The bullies should be made to pay. Why don't people just be kind and live in peace.

[@christienelson1437]

They are hard workers and train their children by trade from very young. This helps them tolerate harsh weather conditions and strenuous work. Locals see them as a threat to their jobs and encourage their children’s mistreatment of them. Most racism stems from fears about money and jobs. This is why they constantly move and their children academic training is deficient. Helping them learn their trade and the value of math, reading, science and history would enrich their lives and help them make new friendships.💕🙏💕🙏

Ben is such a very brave, intelligent, articulate young man. His education is very important, it's important for all these young kids, but they have to be so afraid to go to school. Its so sad and ahameful. Maybe the schools should have classes for social living. Teach equality for everyone!

I love that the girls seem to be able to branch out a bit. Hopefully they will continue to do that, and start to change the minds of the elders in the community. SO SAD and angered that this boy had to leave his 11th school. So much hate in the world. Why can’t people just be who they want to be. The ignorance of the attacker is very prevalent If someone is not harmful to society, just let them be! Sorry he has to go through all that.

[@Mitchell-888]

the schools and local authorities won't support any travellers whether they Irish Romany English or Showmen or are circus families its common practice for local authorities schools and organisations to treat travellers of any sort with prejudice and discrimination. we face it all the time.

[@buzzzzzz69]

Im beginning to understand more about why Traveller families tend to take their children out of school so young now. Thank goodness this documentary is a few years old now & technology relating to home schooling has come a long way since this was made...

[@ArcticAirUltraPro]

You are so right, making the connection between severe bullying and removing children at an early age makes so much sense 😮 it does keep them safer.

[@Mitchell-888]

yes hence i left school at 13 but why should travellers kids face racism just for going to school then be forced to be home schooled and have less of an education just because the school can't provide a safe learning environment.

[@traceyhue-sang6899]

This episode made my heart heavy. seeing Ben getting bullied and hurt brought tears to my eyes as well as the other kids who got bullied. Its sad that the school did nothing about the bullies. I am so glad Ben and hisnsister continued with there studies. the other family i pray that your prayers were answered and that your brothers are doing better. You are a beautiful and brave young girl, stay strong. its so sad seeing all the prejudices that these children have to ENDURE justbecause they are travellers.

[@jennifertselentis4755]

It's the few that fight and wreck places as they feel rules don't apply to them.

[@ArcticAirUltraPro]

I think from what I have seen online is also they have to set up their camps in public land and the neighbours to these places don’t like that. There can be rubbish because there is no garbage collection like people with houses get. Many towns are against gypsies even though their culture has existed for so long. It seems if their lifestyle could be welcomed, given proper sites and services, over time the stereotypes could be overcome

The world deserves to know the names of these schools and of the parents that are allowing bullying to the point of physical harm with 0 repercussions.

[@EmmaWhitcombe-wz6bh]

This lad who attacked you and his friends should be expelled

[@Mitchell-888]

yes but gorgers look out for other gorgers hence they wasn't expelled and he was made to leave and be home schooled the schools don't want the problems they won't protect travellers kids or their education so force them out of the mainstream school to be home schooled thus solving their little problem they can't control in the school which is traveller kids getting bullied by racist kids who's parents have taught them to hate travellers

[@Paula-u5h]

It’s awful the way they are treated. They are all tarred with the one brush. Some are very nasty just like any walk of life. I remember cycling home from hospital where my daughter was very ill. I got a puncture and still had about 11 or 12 miles to go. There was a traveler site so I went to see if someone could help me. They changed my tube fixed my bike and oiled it and my bike was working much better I was so greatful to them.

Where are the teachers and administrators when these children are bullied? How were the other children punished? The education system shouldn’t tolerate this. Zero tolerance.

Both the children & the adults a very occupied with what others think about them sadly. Once they get over these things & stop looking down on men who can care for their children within the Travelers community. I am not a fan of girls in men’s sports, I am against any sport that a child can have a traumatic brain injury. But I do believe in Education until at least age 18, perhaps extra history so kids in these countries can learn where there forefather’s came from so they understand we are only human beings & should try to respect each other. Otherwise you will have people who can’t read or fill out tax returns, if you can’t pay taxes you won’t be welcome in any country.

Same as you don’t see many open lgbtq gypsy & travellers because they face the same prejudice within their community that travels get from gorgers. And that’s part of the reason travellers suicide rate is so much higher because of judgement from their own it’s better to die than be seen as any shame, even knowing suicide itself is a sin. So you carry on with that thinking cos it’s suits you, but remember ignorance breeds ignorance, & why be transphobic, homophobic, or racist when you can just be kind.
