The Dawkins family and their son Tanner Dawkins have altered the story recently reported in a News Channel 5 KSDK news article to create an illusion of innocence on their son's side, and have painted Matthew as the "bully" in the situation when it should be the complete opposite. Tanner has bullied many kids at Parkway Southwest Middle School, and there are many witnesses that are willing to testify against Tanner and his acts. Tanner has smacked a girl in gym class and has made fun of an autistic student at school, these are just a few instances of Tanner's bully-like behavior. Tanner has also been known to take illegal pills. Tanner singles out the students he knows are vulnerable and can't defend themselves, while Matthew stands up for them, the people that need it the most. Matthew hasn't done anything wrong, he stood up for what is right when no one else did. The Dawkins Family plan to press charges. This entire situation has landed Matthew and his family into an unnecessary spotlight and has caused them enough pain.
