That did not happen automatically.
Evidence showed different conduct.
Tessa led most incidents.
Repeated behavior.
Retaliation.

Still relevant.
Morgan recorded humiliations and distributed videos but had fewer direct physical incidents.

Brielle remained under strict probation with counseling and service requirements unrelated to victim contact.
Morgan lost extracurricular leadership roles and faced digital-harassment consequences.
No forced apologies to victims.
No victims required to sit in circles.
Choice mattered.
Some students wanted apologies.
