00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: to the air here. Um, Liz, we're getting a lot

3
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: of calls for you about this right now here this

00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: to speat, Liz called us because she said, look, my

6
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: seven year old is constantly bullied at school and net Net.

7
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,440
Speaker 1: I've approached the school to do something and they're not

8
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: doing something about it. And you've been told to even

9
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 1: think of transferring schools while your kids the one being bullied,

10
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: and they won't. They won't do anything for for you.

11
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 1: With the other parents, it's just become this frustrating cycle.

12
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 1: And by the way, Liz also said she would love

13
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 1: for hear us we in the morning talking about how

14
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 1: bullying is so wrong, and a lot of kids going

15
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: to school they're having it happened to them as they're

16
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: listening to this, and your son is going through and

17
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I just feel for you and your frustration.

18
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: But a lot of people are struck by what you

19
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: said minutes ago. And I'm gonna bring in Liz. You're

20
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: gonna stay on the phone. You'll be able to hear this.

21
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: Gladys is in Los Angeles, Gladys you say you have

22
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: advice for Liz. Please you're on with all of us.

23
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Gladys, Hi, good morning everybody. Uh. First of all,

24
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: I'd like to express, uh sympathy. I understand as a

25
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: parent as well whose child was also bullied some years ago. UM.

26
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: I worked for the district. UM. I am a mandated reporter. UM,

27
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: and we employees are supposed to report, whether it's an

28
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: adult to a child, whether it's a child to a child,

29
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: if any form of abuse. Because what your child is

30
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: going through is abuse, it doesn't it doesn't matter if

31
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: it's it's totally abuse, it's harassment. It's not okay. And

32
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: just because he's a minor does not make it okay.

33
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: So for things like that in UH, how can I say,

34
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: like there, So I worked, you know, on the yard,

35
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: and I'm supposed to report anything that I see that

36
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: I feel is appropriate as a mandated reporter. We all

37
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: do that, all, just your employees. That's we took a

38
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: training for that, you know, so we were supposed to

39
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: report it within a certain amount of time. UM. If

40
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: there's someone that you know that you have that you

41
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: can confide in at your son's school, I would advise

42
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: you to speak to that person to just like observe

43
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: any future instance. I mean, hope, I mean, I know

44
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: your son, you know you you don't want your kid

45
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: to be you know, harassed or bullied or abused in

46
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: any form of way. But if there's someone there that

47
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: you know that you can confide in, UM, talk to

48
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: that person and just have them observe your kids. But

49
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: glad let me ask some Liz you can, Liz, you

50
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 1: can chime in on this with better detail. But Gladys,

51
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: she's been told by the school they can't do anything

52
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: about it. You know. The thing is is that we're

53
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: not They're not allowed. It is true, we're not. We're

54
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: not allowed to have any sit downs with the you know,

55
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: with your with the bullies parents. We're not because of

56
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: confrontational issues. And it's just it's not it's against school policy.

57
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: It is also against school policy for uh, for us

58
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: to be disclosed what kind of disciptionary actions are being

59
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: taken for the child who's abusing or harassing you know,

60
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: your son or your daughter. UM. So that's why, you know,

61
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: it's it's great that you're actually documenting stuff because that's

62
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: going to help you in your case, should you have

63
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: to build a case? Um So I think I think

64
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: that that's you keep doing that. But I think what

65
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: what could help potentially is that if someone reports that

66
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: abuse that the person is in, they're gonna get uh

67
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: DCPs involved, like the Chop Projective Services uh and someone

68
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: will contact the child's parents anonymously. They will not say

69
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: who said, you know, who made the report because it's

70
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: for the protection of the employee UM, So they don't

71
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: need to worry about that. Um even if they try

72
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: to even out who said it, that won't be disclosed

73
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: because of confidentially and you know, to to protect the

74
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: safety of the employees. So I think that's probably the

75
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: best way to go if nothing is being done, like

76
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: somebody has to make that think that at that school,

77
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: I don't know anybody. Like my older son used to

78
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 1: go to that school and he was fine, But I

79
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: don't know anybody at that school to be able to

80
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: watch over my child or to be able to say, hey,

81
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: you know, I used to have the extodian that used

82
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: to be a friend of mine that I used to

83
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: work with a long time ago, but he no longer

84
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: works here, so I don't have anybody to be like, Okay,

85
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: you know what I got. I got you like, I'll

86
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: watch your son. I'll keep an eye on him, you know,

87
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: and I'll let you know what happens or what's going on,

88
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: you know. So I don't have that. You know, there

89
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: are educational attorneys that can help, that we can help.

90
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: I know that the resources are an issue, but I

91
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: think we can probably figure out a way to help

92
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: you out here. Hold on one second, Liz Gladys, thank

93
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: you very much for calling. We're getting a lot of

94
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: reaction here, Liz, I just want to take some more

95
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: reaction here. This is Alyssa who's on in Lakewood. Unlyssa,

96
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: you're on with is in myself Sisty Antonia, and you're

97
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: a teacher, and you want to talk about what's happening

98
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: in this situation. Go ahead. Yeah, I don't know the

99
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: whole situation or anything, but I'm so sorry this is

100
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 1: happening to you. Um. I also just I'm not sure

101
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: and the mom probably doesn't know that she does about

102
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: this because the mom well okay, the mom knows, but you,

103
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: I mean you as the mom, probably don't know for

104
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 1: sure this information. But I'm wondering if this child is

105
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: special needs and if they have any which is he's not.

106
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 1: He doesn't have an individualized he's an honor student. He's Oh,

107
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: it's just well, I I'm wondering if there's some sort

108
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: of plan they can't tell you about, because, Um, I've

109
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: had friends that are teachers that are in similar situations.

110
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: And I'm not defending the teacher. I have no idea

111
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: I am. I'm not saying this is this is right

112
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: at all, because it's terrible. But I have friends that

113
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: have been teachers who have had volatile students in their

114
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: classroom and it has taken parents like the whole class

115
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: basically calling and demanding to be removed from that classroom.

116
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: And crazy, how much has to be done to get

117
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: to get the right thing to happen here? Um, real quickly,

118
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put you on with Deshanta. She may have

119
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 1: a solution here, Deshanta, go ahead. You say that Liz

120
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,559
Speaker 1: needs to go to a board meeting because the school

121
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: really isn't gonna do anything about it. No, yeah, so

122
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: she needs to go to a board meeting and get

123
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: other parents to rally behind her because the schools need

124
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: money from the steat, so they want their attendance. They're

125
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: not going to suspend or expel a child. Word meetings

126
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: and get this put out? Is that an option list?

127
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: Do you want a school board meeting is coming up next?

128
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: I do, It's coming up soon. I know that I've

129
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 1: checked the calendar. Go in and put in like you

130
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: want to do a public comment and go in and

131
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: tell your story so that that the board members know

132
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: and then they have to look into stuff like this.

133
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: That's good advice. Alright, let's take a break hand and

134
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: I have a lot of calls. I'm gonna keep you on.

135
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: It's got to get a break here for the broadcast.

136
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: But there's a lot more information and people who are

137
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: willing to help, and also some other good resources for

138
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: you with the calls coming in. So I'm gonna make

139
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: sure we connect with all of this right now. Let's

140
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna fix this. We're gonna get this done. Okay,

141
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. I appreciate it, of course, thank
