A 12-year-old boy has died after being placed in a medically induced coma following a fight at his suburban Philadelphia school.
Bailey O'Neill died Sunday, a family member who did not want to be named, confirmed to ABCNews.com. Bailey turned 12 on Saturday. He was taken off life support Sunday morning.
In January, Bailey was involved in a fight at Darby Township School in Upper Darby, Pa., west of Philadelphia, Jan. 10. The boy was allegedly jumped by two classmates, one of whom hit him in the face several times fracturing his nose, his father Rob O'Neill told ABC affiliate WPVI.

Kid was an honor student, who used to look out for his little brother and walk him to school. A kid jumped him and beat him up on the playground - while a crowd cheered him on - during school hours.
Oh, don't hold your breath waiting for the Justice for Bailey rally, or for Sharpton and Jackson to show up.
Imagine if two white kids did this with the same outcome, what do you think would have happened?
