Bully Police USA Co-Director, Kevin Epling, Speaks Out

 

 

"The school ground bully has been around for too long.  His entire success at bullying is predicated upon arrogant disregard to simple decency, and a willingness to brutalize an innocent victim simply because the bully is bigger and stronger and others are afraid to intervene.  It is insidious and calls for society and government to intervene decisively.  This bullying bill is a start.  As you deliberate this bill please reflect on the fact that Government's primary purpose for existence is for the protection of its innocent citizens.     ...Then remember your bully as a child."                        

                                            Congressman Trent Franks (R) Arizona

ANNOUNCEMENTS

JOIN OUR BULLY POLICE USA YAHOO SUPPORT GROUPS!
Elizabeth Bennett (Bully Police Survivor Director) moderates the National group.  To join, go to the Group home page: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bullypoliceusa and click on “Join Group.”  You can also subscribe by emailing bullypoliceusa-subscribe@yahoogroups.com. 

There is a need for teenagers, who have been bullied, to get support from those of their own age.  Therefore, we have decided to endorse a Yahoo support group just for teens.  This group will be moderated by teenagers and parents.  The rules of good conduct will be enforced. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bullypoliceteen/. 

WANTED: Bully Police USA State Volunteers/Directors and School District Directors - This is compassionate service given to bullied children who are not being heard. 

By fighting at the State level for common sense laws, parents and bullied children will have recourse to demand a safe and secure environment within their schools.  Guidelines, (anti bullying laws), are like road signs, when there are road signs, traffic runs smoothly and safely, but without road signs chaos follows.  Most States are in "bullying chaos" and many children are traumatized every day at school receiving no help. 

...Someone once said to me, "You can't expect to cure the bullying problem..."   However, I say, in comparison, that you can't cure AIDS either, but you can help prevent it - we can't cure bullying, but with good laws, policies and programs we can help prevent bullying.

If you are proactive and have a passion to stop bullying in your State, please email Brenda at brenda (at) jaredstory (dot) com.
