Wolfe appears on Today Show

We fully expected an all-out bashing of Fayetteville’s school district/officials this morning. Instead, the Today Show focused mainly on painting a picture of a completely innocent teenager who has done nothing to provoke the alleged bullying.

“He’s a good kid. He doesn’t stay out late. He doesn’t do drugs,” said his mother Penney Wolfe. Host Matt Lauer asked Billy, “Are you a wise guy? Are you the kind of guy who makes comments to kids as they go by? Are you provoking this in any way?” Billy’s response was, “No.”

Aside from a brief comment about Billy’s parents saying that the Fayetteville School District has done little or nothing to stop the attacks, the majority of the five-minute segment was dedicated to showing photo montages of Billy with black eyes and bruises on his face and a few videos of fights.
