Have you ever been in a situation where you think you know but you need confirmation? Well in the case of law and knowing your rights, don’t think…know. Check out the FaceBook site of attorney Jackie Brown. Her law tips are brief, insightful and always handy. I’m not looking for trouble but if it happens to become my companion at least I can refer to my friendly law tip advice.
Just the Facts:
· 5,958 young people age 10 to 24 were murdered—an average of 16 each day—in 2006.
· Over 631,000 violence-related injuries in young people age 10 to 24 were treated in U.S. emergency rooms in 2007.
· In a 2007 nationwide survey, 36% of high school students reported being in a physical fight during the past 12 months.
· Nearly 6% of high school students in 2007 reported taking a gun, knife, or club to school in the 30 days before the survey.
· An estimated 30% of kids between 6th and 10th grade report being involved in bullying.
As the summer is quickly coming to an end, I am focusing on the next school term. This year is different. My oldest diva is no longer in the halls of children who ,while not always angels, are not having the thoughts and emotions of teenagers. Although children of all ages can be cruel, teenagers often act and react. The emotional turmoil becomes physical and can easily slip out of control.
School administrators do not have to deal with unruly children. With the stroke of fist, an altercation at school can be the beginning of a police record and the ending of a post secondary education.
Do you know your rights as the parent of the victim or the offender? Teen bullying is a nationwide epidemic but as parents, community members, community leaders and adults we need to protect our children.
