Maybe I am a mom who is mad because I feel my child was wronged. I would like it if you would post my story about school bullying. This is a serious matter and this school system does not seem to take it seriously. I even expressed to them that my child wanted to just die because of the bullying. . My child is in the 4th grade at HiddenLake. My child was being bullied by a group of Five girls. Her father and I have contacted the school on several occassions and I have also left about 15 messages for Mr. Wilder and his assistant, that was never returned. I have talked with several people at the school and they want you to think they care but they don't. They basically said that until my child is hurt there is not much they can do. They did say that they have asked several kids if they saw anything, but as I expected the kids did not see or hear anything. The reason: They are afraid of being bullied as well. I find it very disheartening that my child will either have to get hurt or DIE before "they" think it is a problem. Well, I finally had enough and withdrew my child from public school. I refuse to send my children` to a place that WILL NOT protect. It is also sad that my child can not have the same advantages as the other kids because noone seems to think there is a problem. They are more worried about placing the blame on my child. They want you to think they do truly care about our kids well being, but they don't.If you could post this for me and maybe us as parents could come together and do something to protect our children

I think that there is a solution to every problem. If the DCS Board would spend time at each school, they would see the need for more caring teachers and aides for the classrooms. spend money where it's needed to assure the safety of our children. In my opinion, spending millions on computer technology when the system is suppose to be broke ha ha ha, what a joke! It has made the teachers "LAZY", make them work for their pay. If a teacher is teaching and students writing, he or she wont have much time to bully! Bring in more SRO's and Principals that get involved. We can do it "YES WE CAN".

My child also has had a horrible experienc with bulling however she went to Girard Middle school. It's true the staff does not care about situations like this and I infact found that some of the staff themself acted in a bulling manor. My daughter was hit, pushed, threatened, and hurt after she returned to school from a major operation. The group of girls causing the problem were never punished, even though the girls admitted to the bulling. I went all the way to the school board and nothing was done. This is a huge problem in the Dothan city schools! As long as people like Greg Yance are in charge at our schools this will continue to be a problem. I was told by a school official if you want something done in these situations, you should contact the police.

I am sorry to hear this happened to you and your child. My son goes to Hidden Lake Ele. (2nd grade) I love the school and staff. Its hard for me to believe that Mrs Hales and her staff did not do all they could do to correct this problem.

I don't understand why parents will be punished for their child being absent or tardy too many times, but their child can bully others. Punish the parents if the children won't stop bullying and then maybe we will see results. I was a bully when I was in school and I know my parents could have and would have straighten me out, but nobody notified them. I didn't physically hurt others, but I was a pain. I realize some parents are the source of the problem, so sent them to jail. Bottom line: stand up for your child, believe your child, and stop the bullying.

I am a staff member at a school & as bad as it may be for you & your child if it your childs word against anothers there is not much that can be done. Would you like it if someone said your child was picking on another child and your child was punished. Sad to say but kids lie about other kids they do not like to get them in trouble. Your child is telling one side of a story that I am sure might be true but if these same kids or others decide they want her in trouble they will go lie about her and get her in trouble. Even if the teacher or staff believe your child they can not do a thing about it. It is really sad that kids think they have to be mean to be popular these days. I pray for your child & her safety in school & hope that these kids get caught & get the punishment they deserve!
