Screwed over by The Man
We once made a flash animation for a record company. They told us it was brilliant and 30 staff gave us a round of applause. They asked us to stick it out without their name on it. Then their legal department sent us a cease and desist for infringing their copyright. How have you been screwed over?

It's a bloody wonder your parents did not take legal action.
From what they said I got the impression that the school convinced them that the police wouldn't take it seriously and that they (the school) had effective disciplinary procedures that could and would stamp it out... Like me they were foolish enough to take them at their word.
Tbh at the time I doubt I could have handled the sort of stress a court case would involve. These days? Sure, a doddle, but I was pretty much a wreck back then. It also didn't help that after the third major incident, I started to actively hide my injuries from my parents, the only times they saw anything were when they left marks in places I couldn't cover up, such as my face, or forearms (short sleeved shirts).
