About Bobby Kent

Bobby Kent (May 12, 1973 - July 15, 1993), an alleged bully, was murdered by seven teenagers, including his best friend, Marty Puccio, in South Florida. He attended South Broward High School in Hollywood, Florida where much of the alleged bullying took place.

Bobby Kent was, by many accounts, a popular athletic boy. He earned a decent grade point average in school and played sports. Bobby was charming to those around him and naturally attracted attention. His parents, Fred and Farah Kent, had high aspirations for him. Fred was self-employed as a stockbroker, and believed that the true American Dream was for one to be one's own master, something he wanted for his son. He had plans to set Bobby up running his own business once he graduated from college. Bobby, who was an avid car stereo enthusiast and had his own vehicle sound system that was worth several thousand dollars, had told his father that was the type of business he would like to get into.

He was described by Broward County prosecutor Tim Donnelly, who tried all the conspirators for his murder as "Very Eddie Haskell like. Adults saw him one way (polite and charming) while the kids saw him in a completely different light."
