bullied boyRCSD parent who left the district

“I just couldn’t bear to see him come home in tears, scared, not feeling safe as a result of the years of bullying. He ended up going into counseling, and he also ended up going to the doctors because he was having nosebleeds and bad nightmares as a result of all this. I did it on my own. I wanted to do everything that I could to help my son, because I just felt so bad. It hurt me to my heart to see him so happy and excited to go to school, willing to learn, and then all of that over two years’ period of time dwindled down to, he was giving up on school. He didn’t want to be in school anymore. He didn’t want to be at that school anymore, particularly.

I took matters into my own hands after I saw that I was not getting anywhere with the school board. I took matters into my own hand, doing what I was supposed to do or should be doing as a parent, stepping up doing whatever it takes for my child.”
