When I saw bullying taking place I always got involved. Many times I walked into the office and reported it. I also learned that you need to make sure someone gets off their chair and handles it. My kids weren't bullied (as far as I know) but I would have been extremely aggressive if they had. But that's only one side of it. We all have to talk to our kids and make them understand how wrong it is to make fun of people. Now I'm talking to my grandkids about it. Schools must be held responsible by the parents. In other words, if your child is being bullied you need to show up at school every day until something is done about it. We can't sit back and expect the government to handle it because our kids are OUR responsibility, not theirs. Most school shootings can be traced to the shooter being mistreated by fellow students. We all need to stop sitting back and letting the government deal with everything. They are doing a terrible job and we can do better. Get involved. If you have children, volunteer at school. You will see who the bullies are and that they are usually hurting as much as the kids they inflict torment on. If you're a grandparent take some time and volunteer at your grandkids school. You can truly change lives. But don't take cupcakes because they don't allow that anymore....<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('3002','laney kazinec'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> We used to live by a school and I passed the playground every day when I walked home from work.

No! kid should have to endure this...No parent should have to be unaware of a school's response... No community should tolerate this behavior...That precious baby did nothing wrong and everything right: telling his parents, telling his teachers, telling the school's leaders. Sadly, from the sounds of things this only made matters worse....At the core of this issue is a group of kids that have learned through society and likely their parents that it's really OK to call someone out of their name and that it's OK to be cruel... Intolerance is what is the heart of this beast and nothing will change until everyone especially parents recognizing the harm they are causing.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('2995','jjbrock'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> When I read this story it pulled at the core of my heart….
