Saving the Child Bully: Why We So Quickly Condemn Troubled Children

You are here: Home / Archive / Feature Stories / Saving the Child Bully: Why We So Quickly Condemn Troubled Children
Published: September 1, 2019 by VPR Producer

It’s back-to-school season, and while schools have put in place comprehensive anti-bullying campaigns, we seldom focus on making sure child bullies themselves get the help they need to deal with the problems that are causing them to act out in the first place. We still punish troubled kids with detentions, suspensions and from there it escalates onward. Many seem to never get the proper help and get stuck in a perpetual cycle of trouble throughout life. Many end up in poverty, incarceration or even dead. How do we change our mindset and these systemic practices in order to stop these children from falling through the cracks?
