Asked in MA May 21, 2022 ,  0 answers Visitors: 2
We live in Brookline,MA. My daughter is in the 7th grade and is being bullied online by some classmates. I have brought this to the attention of the school and am being put off. The emails have included such things as " Your fat, your ugly, you smell like a dumpster, nobody at school likes you are a loser. Don't threaten to kill yourself because we know you won't do it. etc." I have the names of the bullies in print ( proof of who they are]. I was told that maybe my daughter has brought this on herself. I was ignored for days after calling and emailing the principal and assistant principal. Today I brought in the printed copies and was told they had no time to speak to me and whatever was done regarding this was confidential and I could not be informed. My questions are is this confidential or since I am the mother of the victim and a taxpayer who has had three children who have attended this public school, the right to have some information about what has been done to stop this? Also, what else can I do if nothing is beingdone to stop this. Thank you. Liane

On May 3, 2010, Governor Patrick passed the new Massachusetts "Anti-Bullying" Law that requires schools to have procedures to prevent bullying and to address acts of bullying and indicates that "the parents or guardians of a victim shall also be notified of the action taken to prevent any further acts of bullying or retaliation."

So, you have every right to know what is going on. If you would like a free consultation, you can contact me at 508-528-4007, ext. 14 or email [email protected]
