PA Department of Education Responds To My Complaint On Behalf Of Disabled Bullied Student In PA

I have been advocating for a bullied disabled student/juvenile who has also allegedly been the victim of criminal activity from NEPA - Luzerne County and Pittston Township (located in Pennsylvania). For over 10 weeks I have been working with the mother of the student and her son to try and get justice for him. As of yet nothing has happened other than the mother has reported the bullying and criminal activity repeatedly to the appropriate authorities and we are still waiting for justice for the young man. As has been said, "the wheels of justice sometimes grind slowly," and reality is not like what is seen on TV on Law and Order where in 1 hour the case is investigated and solved. However, over 10 weeks does seem like a rather long time for a juvenile who is disabled to have to endure criminal activity against him and his mother.

A representative from the The PA Department of Education contacted me and they referred the mother and me to the correct agencies and people for help. We are still waiting, however, I am pleased that someone from the PA Department of Education did reach out to me and provide us with information. Now let's hope justice finally occurs for this disabled student who has been a crime and bullying victim.

BULLYING: Media Release: Anti-bullying School Report Card for Parents Created August 25, 2009

Students will soon be heading back to school. For many students it is a time of excitement and anticipation. This time of the year means new schools, classes, teachers and catching up with friends after the summer holidays.

But for millions of young people, going back to school can mean feelings of anxiety and fear for bullying may have been part of their school experience.

Research has shown that bullying occurs in school playgrounds every 7 minutes and once every 25 minutes in class (Pepler et al., 1997). 160,000 children skip school each day in the United States because of intimidation bytheir peers. (U.S. National Education Association)

How do schools deal with bullying? Some do it effectively, but many do not handle it well and some schools can even make the problem worse.

With this in mind, Bullying.org, creator and facilitator of http://www.bullying.org, the world's most visited and referenced Website about bullying, and the annual Bullying Awareness Week, http://www.bullyingawarene ssweek.org, has created a report card that parents can use to evaluate whether their child's school is up to the task.

The Report Card, or checklist asks important questions such as:

- Is your school's administration committed to addressing bullying?

- Did educators at the school have courses about bullying during their teacher training in University? (Many educators have never had such training)

- Have the educators at your school had a professional development course about bullying since they graduated from teacher training in University?

-Does the school have a policy about bullying? (Policies often focus on what school will do if and when bullying occurs)

-Does the school's policy primarily focus on punishment? (Often referred to as "Zero Tolerance")

The complete checklist for parents can down found at http://www.bullyingcourse.com.

Bullyonline.org - A Bullying Resource For People Who Are Being Bullied

If you are the parent of a child who is being bullied or you are a young person who is being bullied check out www.bullyonline.org.

• No one deserves to be bullied or abused.
• No one should accept or tolerate being bullied or abused.
• Adults should respond immediately and appropriately when a young person reports being bullied or abused (whether a boy or girl).
• Adults should be held accountable when they fail to act to help a young person who is reporting being bullied or abused.
• "Boys will be boys" is not an acceptable response to bullying, hazing, or abuse when it is boys who are doing it-EVER!
• "No" means NO. "Stop" means stop. Adults must be responsible to help a young person who is saying "No" and "Stop" the bullying or abuse.

Help me help others stop the bullying and abuse of young people. If you or I do nothing...then nothing will happen...except possibly the young person will either grow so tired of the bullying that they commit bullycide - suicide or murder-suicide as a result of being bullied and abused. And we as adults have the ability to stop such horrible acts from happening.

If you are a parent:

• If your child, (son or daughter), tells you that they are being bullied or abused at school - intervene immediately to get it stopped. Protect your child. Do not tolerate it or accept if if the child is a boy because "boys will be boys," and "big boys don't cry," or "suck it up and take it like a man would." And if your child is a girl, also respond immediately and appropriately. Don't excuse the bullies actions by saying "oh they are just being catty," or it's just "girls acting like girls and you are being too sensitive."
• Love your child! Believe in your child! Affirm their value and worth to you by standing up for them when they are being bullied or abused. To not do so will have very serious and painful consequences in the future.
• Do not ignore the problem either thinking it will go away as it will not. The bullying will only get worse if you do not intervene and stop it. This is your child's life at stake. Take it seriously and act
• If you approach the people at the school involved and they will not listen go to the Department of Education in your state and report the school for their failure to provide a safe environment for their students. You must take a stand against the abuse and bullying of your child...or against any child.

Are you the parent of a child who is being abused and bullied" Or are you a child who is being bullied or abused? If you are please let me know your experiences or thoughts- and I will try and help you.

If you need my consumer advocacy services, please contact me. I will be delighted to help you if I can.

Also, if you have a complaint post it at www.complaints.com - the number 1 consumer complaint website in the world.

Wilkes-Barre Vo Tech School In Plains PA - A Parent's Complaint Concerning The Bullying Of Her Son

I receved a call recently from a very concerned parent concerning the bullying of her son at the Wilkes-Barre Vo Tech School in Plains PA.

The mother who called me informed me that her son, a disabled student at the school, has been being bullied for a couple of years. Apparently he has been being bullied in the locker room by students after one of his classes as well as during lunch - being called names and verbally abused. According to the mother, her son and a witness this young man has been a victim of both physical and verbal bullying. She has tried to get someone from the school to help her son but allegedly no one would listen to her, take her concerns seriously and help her get the bullying stopped. As a result of the on going pattern of bullying her son was understandably getting really frustrated.

It reached a point where there was some sort of bullying incident in the locker room at his school and the student fought back. As I understand it the result of this incident has been that the bullied student has been sent to an alternative learning center where he is not receiving the education and training he wants and needs and nothing has been done to discipline the bullies. It is an old story I have heard too often...punish the victim and let the bullies get away with their bullying. This is wrong and this is sad. The mother and son have reached out to me to try and help them get the bullying stopped so that her son's educational experience can be a safe one as well as a positive one. And the educational experience should be a positive and safe one for every student at the Wilkes-Barre Vo Tech School. What we want to happen and I am going to be working on is getting the student rightfully returned to his regular classes at Vo-Tech where he belongs and a commitment on the part of the administration to see to it that there is no more bullying or harrassment of this student.

As a parent of a student or as a student at the Wilkes-Barre Vo Tech school have you had to deal with bullying or have you been bullied? Please share your feelings or thoughts with me so that I can respond appropriately with the school administration. I promise that all information provided to me will be kept totally confidential.

If you are a consumer with a compliment, complaint, concern, issue, question, or a SCAM to report please email me at harold@bepositiveday.com or call me at (570) 341-6796 and I will be delighted to try and help you if I can.
