Rebekah (my daughter age 14) wrote to Dr. Phil regarding the Bullying she has had to indure for the past several years. The schools seem unwilling or unable to correct this problem.
Dr. Phil's producers felt Rebekah's story compelling and sent a crew of 4 to our home in Clovis to tape she and I. We then went to Hollywood and filmed the show on the Paramount Lot with Dr. Phil and his son Jay. The show aired October 1st.
The subject of Bullying needs to be addressed as it is a big (and growing) problem. The schools need to put policies in place to protect our kids, or enforce the policies.
Kids should not have to be affraid to step on campus. When the Principal tells you "your daughter is a real target" you know your fear is warranted!

my daughter was bullied by a boy at her school. we were told the law protects him and not her so they couldn't do anything for her except move her into another classroom. it makes me sick.
This is the problem when parents no longer discipline their kids and they have stripped the schools of their ability to discipline. What are the administrators to due when the main thing they have to worry about is lawsuits #1 and not education?

this is upsetting to read. my friend's daughter is also in CUSD and she is getting bullied everyday of her life. couselors say to just walk away. how when they leave bruises on this child's body?
