Berwyn Student Bullied With Anti-Semitism, Threats: Reports

BERWYN, PA – A Tredyffrin/Easttown Middle School student and her family are coping with anti-Semitic comments thrown at her, as well as alleged threats to bring a gun to school.

According to the Associated Press, 12-year-old Nora Nissenbaum told a boy she didn't like him anymore, then he started sending her photos of Adolf Hitler and called her a "dirty Jew."

Additionally, that boy is reported to have made threats to bring a gun to school with 33 targets in mind.

Tredyffrin Township Police said due to the case involving juveniles, they are unable to comment on details.

However, Action News reports eventually the boy, also 12, was charged with harassment and marking terroristic threats and was hit with a five-day suspension.

Nissenbaum didn't need to worry about seeing the boy in class anymore, however the story is different when they are in the halls together.

"We did pass each other about 8 times a day because they moved his locker away from mine, he would come around the corner and I would be going up to my class and he'd be coming down the hallway," Nissenbaum told the outlet.

Since then, Nissenbaum's parents have taken her from school and she now is tutored at home, according to Action News.

Patch has reached out to the Tredyffrin/Easttown School District and the Nissenbaum family for more information and will update the story when details are made available.
