Other students and a teacher say they overheard the unidentified janitor proposing her offer to the students and told the principal. Once she was confronted, the janitor reportedly admitted to everything.

School officials say the janitor’s plan was never carried out, but the targeted student’s mother says otherwise.

According to the Grand Rapids Press, the district hasn't confirmed that any bullying occurred, but a spokesperson says, "It's still an ongoing investigation."
The student’s mother says she’s considering a lawsuit against the janitor. Grand Rapids police are currently looking into the case as well.
