2 Gosselin Kids Expelled As Bullies

The New York Post says two of the Gosselin sextuplets were expelled from a Reading, Pa.-area school for bullying other six-year-old students.

Two of the 6-year-old sextuplets, Collin and Alexis, allegedly have been expelled from their private school in Pennsylvania and are now being homeschooled, said the Post and In Touch magazine.

The Post talked to a source who said mother Kate Gosselin is trying to keep the situation out of the media so she can deal with it privately.

In Touch magazine first reported the latest incident involving the two reality TV children, who were showcased on TLC’s “John & Kate Plus 8” and its successor show, “Kate Plus 8” for three years.

If this is true, I wonder where they learned how to bully?

 

[JerseyJanice]

Well, considering the example their mother set for them, I can't say this is surprising.

What does surprise me is that this story is in the media. Shouldn't school matters involving 6 year-old's be kept confidential? I certainly think so.

Kate's Kids Expelled

Two of the 6-year-old Gosselin sextuplets are said to be having a rough time in their new school.

According to reports from In Touch, Collin and Alexis have been expelled from their Pennsylvania private school and are now being homeschooled.

"They've fought with their peers, called them nasty names and made fun of other kids," a source close to the family told the magazine. "The things they are saying are not words they should know. They are learning them somewhere -- but Jon [Gosselin, their dad] doesn't know where."

The source also said that some of the eight kids are having "rage issues" linked to filming on the new reality series, "Kate Plus 8."

Kate Gosselin Previously, one of the sextuplet girls had been suspended from school for two weeks after hitting a classmate, according to reports.

TLC had no comment. A source close to the situation, though, told The Post that mom Kate Gosselin's "number one concern is protecting her children and is keeping this personal situation as a private matter that she works out with her kids."

Last Sunday's special, "Kate Plus 8: Alaska Here We Come," drew only 1.33 million viewers, less than half the number that tuned in to earlier specials aired over the summer and nowhere near the almost 10 million viewers who tuned in at the height of the "Jon & Kate Plus 8" meltdown last year

I REALLY don't think this should be gossip fodder. These are CHILDREN. Now if KATE or JON had done something newsworthy, that's different.

Wow, how sad

I can;t believe people on this thread. So every kid that is a bully learned that behavior from there parents

Rage issues? 1 suspended - now 2 of the 8 expelled so far? Hitting? Making fun of? Calling nasty names? Fighting?

Again, if this is true - is anyone surprised?

Actually, that is very often the case.

Much of what kids learn comes from watching the examples their parents set. I can't imagine that's a new concept for most people.

I think being one of SIX probably has something to do with it too. I have 2 kids 7 years apart in age and they fight like cats and dogs..... I can't imagine having 6 all the same age as well as the 2 olders sibs. Then there was the bickering between their folks and the messy divorce. Those kids defense mechanisms must be working over time.

Very true..

As for this being a private issue - well J&K gave up that right when they chose to exploit their children for profit..

Do I agree that it came out publicly? No..

Yeah, well these are problems the children are having and if I found out who the leak at school was, they would be FIRED and fast.

really this again. They didn't exploit there kids. You don't even watch the show so how do you know what is going on

 

[ndelaware]

The scariest thought is, who is doing the homeschooling?

 

[C.Ann]

Yeah, well these are problems the children are having and if I found out who the leak at school was, they would be FIRED and fast.

I agree.. There's already far too much information out there about these kids..

No not every kid, but Kate does have some issues. I do believe that if it is true, that it comes from being filmed and getting treated like celebs, and also from the divorce. It is terrible for kids and sometimes they do act out when parents get divorced. However, Kate does have a nasty temper.

 

[Mermaid02]

Let's start a "Dis Pool"

How long before the bullied kids parents sue Jon and Kate?

 

[happygirl]

I agree.. There's already far too much information out there about these kids..

Or to many people out there that assume to know about what is going on with this kids

 

[FlightlessDuck]

Somebody in that school needs to be fired for leaking that information to the media. In fact, maybe they can be charged with something. Same with the Post.

 

[C.Ann]

really this again. They didn't exploit there kids. You don't even watch the show so how do you know what is going on

There was a time when I did watch the show - waaaaaay back when..

You say they didn't/don't exploit the kids, I say they did/do.. We're each entitled to our own opinions..
