importantly, the lives of 100's of thousands of people have been shattered by
this disaster.
"The United States will suffer another large scale terrorist
attack within the next year, according to a poll conducted by the National Association of Chiefs of Police. The poll reveals that
almost 87 percent of our nation's police commanders and security
directors expect a catastrophic terrorist incident within the
continental US." Jim Kouri, PHX News.com
A
Federal Judge has cleared the way for a wrong death lawsuit
alleging that the school board and specified school officials were
negligent in their responsibility to maintain a safe learning
environment. Daniel Scruggs at age 12 ended his own life as an
escape from the daily bullying he suffered at school. Everyone
seemed to know about his plight. The school took action, but
whether it was enough will now be settled in court. Although
Daniel was being seen by several agencies, only his mother was
singled out for prosecution for negligence. Her conviction is being appealed, others
are being sued, but the bottom line is that a young boy was
bullied to death. If just a fraction of the money now being spent on
litigation had been spent on prevention, would Daniel still be
with us? Read the full article, The
Often the
best way to avoid being bullied is to avoid the bully, we at Keys
call this skill a "Survival Skill". Other skills are higher level
skills that we must teach are students which are in the area of
"Socialization Skills" and "Assertiveness Skills". But, If bullying always
takes place in a certain area, try to find a way to avoid being in that
area. If there is no way to avoid the area, try to always be with a group
of friends whenever you must go there. This is not being chicken; it is
being smart.
