Victimized Twice

As if it isn’t enough that a child would be the victim of former Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky, to then become the victim of bullying. Yes, twice victimized. A 17-year-old from Pennsylvania had to leave his high school because other students were blaming him for Penn State coach Joe Paterno getting fired after he failed to report an incident of child sexual abuse to police.

Today, I read that an anonymous casino owner just … Continue reading →

Bullying via Text Messaging on the Rise

The other day I blogged about an alleged abuse victim of Jerry Sandusky being victimized twice. First it was the sexual abuse he went through as a younger child and now as a senior in high school, the bullying because he was the first victim to speak up. Now I just ran across an article about a new study that has come out on bullying. Things have apparently “leveled off” when it comes to online bullying. However, a new form of bullying is on the rise, through text messaging. This is yet another way to hide behind a device and … Continue reading →
