The Ending of Yaqui Delgado

Yaqui Delgado Wants to Kick Your Ass ends in a way I didn't really expect it to end. I expected either a physical confrontation with Yaqui or Piddy running away. Neither of these occurred. Instead, in a stroke of irony, Piddy showed the disciplinary officer the video that Yaqui's friends took of Yaqui fighting Piddy. I find it to be quite ironic that the video of the fight is what stops Yaqui from being able to bully Piddy. However, the second I read that the video was put on social media I knew it would factor into Yaqui's downfall.
It angers me that Yaqui got immunity in this case. Assault, Battery, sexual assault, conspiracy to assault and more crimes caught on video lead to no charges because her friend group is too large. She literally gets a "get out of jail free for 10 years of your life because you are popular" card. I say everyone there should have been charged in Civil and Legal court. In legal court, they could have been tried for assisting a sexual assault and conspiracy to assault. Of course, Piddy would need some way to get away. This is where Civil court comes in. Physical pain and psychological damage can result in massive amounts of money for the person that was injured. While the families of those who mugged Piddy may not have much money individually, when grouped up there is enough for Piddy to be able to move to a nicer neighborhood. This ensures that Piddy is safe from those who attacked her and they get punished for the crimes they committed.
Veering back to how the story actually ended. I think you can guess that I don't like that Piddy was the one who had to move out. Although, I think she liked it because she got to go back to her old school. She had friends there and wasn't viewed as an outsider. I think she liked this option the most and would have chosen to move back to her old school if she could have anyways.
Overall, I find the ending of Yaqui Delgado to be brutally realistic. The government isn't willing to punish a group of individuals who clearly need punishment so their victims are forced to flee. Not to mention Piddy shows some signs of Post-Traumatic Stress a year later. I find this to make the ending even more authentic. While the book may not have ended in some grand confrontation, this made the book even more important. A grand confrontation would have spoiled the book's point on what bullying truly is. Ending it in this almost anti-climactic way shines a light of realism down on the book that makes it very authentic on bullying.
