Story:

Manhattan, NY (3/13/2010) - Local leaders spoke out in Manhattan Saturday against violence among students, one day after 2 separate stabbings inside city schools.

Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer and Manhattan Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez called for an investigation into why metal detectors did not notice a knife used in one of the attacks.

They are also demanded a zero-tolerance policy on school bullying. Zero-tolerance means that if you get caught bullying someone then you will get kicked out of that school.

"Coming from teaching 14 years at a high school, a good high school, I can tell you that bullying is happening every day," said Manhattan Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez. "And unless an adult is there, really paying attention and looking to protect the victim, it can end in this type of situation."

Police say the 14-year-old told them he stabbed a 15-year-old 16-times with a steak knife, because the victim had been bullying him for a long time. Both students attended George Washington High School in Manhattan.

In Queens, a 17-year-old student was also stabbed in the back with a steak knife at Newtown High School in Elmhurst on Friday.
