Is he Iranian, or an American born in Iran? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.157.152.138 ( talk • contribs)
He is an American born in Iran. He moved with his parents to America later.
I added the word allegedly about the rape. Kent never got a trial like his killers, so no rape conviction or charge ever happened. Nanaharas 17:30, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Is the murder, as told in the Wiki article what ACTUALLY, FACTUALLY happened or is it what someone wrote based on what happened in the movie "Bully"? I don't know how true-to-fact the movie is, which is why I question the article. 68.51.188.174 ( talk) 08:00, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Some of this article was copied from this and other parts may have problems as well. This article has been tagged for not having references for over 15 months. Enigma message 16:42, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
Simba ( talk) 07:23, 6 August 2008 (UTC): Wow, was this written by Bobby's parents or what? This needs a complete rewrite after some credible sources are found to reference. ~
I saw the movie, which this article follows, and I think it does make Bobby seem like a brutish lout. Whether it's an accurate account, I can't say. I didn't see the A&E special, nor did I read any of the Florida newspaper and court reports. That's what the article should be based on. It should also mention what blithering idiots the kids were. I wonder if any of them have lives now, since all are out of prison, accept Marty, and of course, Bobby.
There's little mention about the parents, and their culpability, either. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.118.232.189 ( talk) 05:17, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
I've added semi-protection to the page following a request on RfPP. But looking at the article it seems to include a lot of material that isn't properly referenced, some of it very serious, some of it mentioning real names. I've tried to find a safe version to revert to, but I don't want to undo legitimate work. Can one of the regular editors of the page confirm that this material is all easily sourceable, and can sources be added? SlimVirgin talk| contribs 00:12, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

There is a lack of evidence that Bobby Kent was even a bully....the word "allegedly" or "purportedly" should be added to the article. Bobby Kent never got the chance to present his version of the events. Even if he was a bully, this could not have justified a brutal murder, though. Oleg Morgan ( talk) 17 July 2011
There is a grand total of 1 reference for the main part of this article. The first two sections (the intro and the "Murder" section) contain a lot of unsupported info which seems like it would have to be sourced to be even considered for inclusion.
It's hearsay and unsupported allegation and speculation. Sean Martin ( talk) 01:01, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
Jim Schutze, in his 1997 true crime book, Bully: A True Story of High School Revenge ( ISBN 978-0-68813-517-1), detailed (page 64) that Connelly had sex with both Bobby Kent and Marty Puccio. It also lays out (page 74) that she was adamant, from first confirmation that she was pregnant, that the child could only be from her preferred source, Puccio. Was there ever a challenge from Kent's parents to find out if the child might – in fact – be their grandchild, and a continuation of their son's legacy? Jmg38 ( talk) 17:19, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
