This gorgeous 14 yr old little girl was another victim of bullying. The
article explains it all. Sherokee lived 2 houses from me. As a mother of
two, It is ripping my heart apart to see the anguish and pain this
family is going through. In honor of Sherokee and the countless children
who are bullied everyday I would like to get the required signatures to
make "Sherokee's Law" pass making it illegal to bully anyone in School
or off school grounds. Zero tolerance policies are in place, but, they
are not correctly utilized. As parents in our communities we feel enough
is enough, and we are ready for big changes f. Children who are
relentlessly tormented and who are to scared to say a word should not
have to live in fear. Passing this law will give bullied children the
relief they need and extra protection from bullies. Retaliation and be
ganged upon by the bullies friends will also be included. This Law will
also help clarify and set the rules and consequences in plain sight and
on paper. Let children who bully know this behavior is not and will not
be tolerated. This will create a more stable and non-violent environment
for ALL school children across the country. If a child does not have to
worry about who is going to attack them on a daily basis in a place
that should be safe they are able to focus and do much better in school
academically and socially. We as a
Parents/Guardians/Aunts/Uncles/Advocates have the opportunity to set a
precedence for everyone. It is time to put "what if's" aside, put this
together and protect our children, grandchildren, nieces & nephews.
We as adults have the power to fix this and no one else.
