To Escape Bullying, a Car Hit a Boy

First the worry, then the anger. This is what a mother of an 8-year old kid from Australia felt when she learned that a car hit her son just because he was fleeing from a bully in his school. The worry is tantamount because as parents we do not want our kids to get hurt. The effects of the accident caused major physical pain and injuries to the child, thus adding on to the mother’s worries. What is worse is that the car hit the boy because he has to run away from a persistent bully in school. Now the anger sets in. The mother could no longer understand the inactive stance of the school since she already reported such incidents of bullying that his child went through before the accident happened. But alas, the school did not made any efforts to stop nor prevent such violent incidents. If only the school took a proactive stance, then the car accident could not have happened to the hapless boy.

This is what we consider a very avertable situation. If only there was an immediate action that the school made when the mother complained of such bullying against her child, then the whole thing could not have happened. That is why; it is very imperative for the school to be always vigilant and proactive in dealing against bullying right under their premises or jurisdiction. We all know by now that the consequence of not taking a stand against bullying is far more damaging, like what happened to the boy in the news.
