Make bullying a Federal Offense and classified as a Hate crime
Make Bullying a Federal Offense and classified as a Hate Crime.
Why is this important?
The bullying must stop; parents held accountable for their children's actions. The damage done lasts a lifetime and is causing more suicides every day. Teachers ignore, and the schools.
I'm a parent of someone who was bullied so badly he has been in psychiatric therapy his whole life. He has tried 9 times to end his life and will be in therapy the rest of his life. He has been diagnosed with so many mental disabilities, beaten so many times, suffered repeated head trauma.
A child's brain is still developing at the tender age of 6 years old when his bullying first started. And I was at his school every day. Nothing was ever done. I eventually even homeschooled. Teachers came to my home.
My son is now a grown man and the damage is already done. We must stop the bullying. As Administrator of Suicide Shatters Loved ones and Families, my members are growing; our children ending their lives. This must stop. We must remove the stigma attached to those who suffer from mental-illness bullying causes.
Our children suffer in silence. I have had my own son in therapy for over 22 years, and he will be in therapy the rest of his life. I watched my happy little boy become a sad insecure child, teen, and now a man. I pray every night I will wake up with him still with us. Bullying is a crime of hate and as such should be classified as one. And now the cycle begins again with my own grandson. It is time to make bullying a Federal offense and a hate crime because it is a crime of hate, and that hate is taking the lives of our children every day. We must take action to secure the safety of our children, mentally and physically.
Parents need to be held accountable for the cruel actions of their children. They are aware of their actions, especially when the schools do notify them and they do nothing; chalk it up to kids will be kids. Well bullying is not acceptable and it affects our children the rest of their lives. So many take their lives due to bullying and it must stop. With the internet, it is even worse and without it, it still goes on, only on the streets, in our schools.
We Must Save our Children. Stop The Bullying and Save Our Children.
