Small And Insecure Bullied Children Take Their Own Life - Older Bullied Children Take the Life Of Others

The BBC reported 6/20/2018 with photos included, on the unfortunate story about Mallory, a New Jersey girl.  For the sad details follow this link: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-44552864.  As I stated in previous posts, as long as bullying is going on, suicides and mass-shooting will be here to stay.  Parents must seriously become involved in the prevention of these tragedies, to-date it appears they are not.  If anything, by providing these cell-phones and tablets to their children, they are actually facilitating the abuse of other children, by their own flesh and blood, unless they step in and put a stop to this.

Parents must regularly inspect these electronic devices of their children for tale tale signs of bullying, or messages showing them to be the Bully.  When your child is on the receiving end, report it to the school by all means, but don't stop there, file a police report, it can save the life of your child.  Equally, counsel your child, and boost their self-esteem in a big way, every chance you have!

Talk to your friends with children about this major problem, become involved, don't be a spectator, become an activist.

 I tried to make contact, by emails, with the leaders of the Parkland School Survivors, but was entirely ignored.  Apparently, while they are ready to lay blame on anybody-else, they themselves view themselves entirely blameless, and therein lies the problem.  In their defense, as long as their parents ignore the real problem, and thus fail to counsel their children, they will remain what they are, self-righteous spoiled brats, harassing others, just for the fun of it, even if it means driving them to suicide. 

BBC reported, "Speaking at a news conference on Tuesday, the Grossmans' attorney, Bruce Nagel, said complaints to the school had been "terribly ignored" and called smart phones "a lethal weapon in the hands of the wrong child."

I fully agree with the above quotation, these electronic devices can be as deadly as firearms, and worse; guns don't psychologically torture their victim to death.
