The laws and policies outlined above were designed to protect our children from experiencing the physical and mental damages bullying causes, but unfortunately, students throughout New York and across the country are bullied daily.
Children shouldn’t dread going to school, they shouldn’t be afraid of their peers, and they shouldn’t feel as though they don’t have anywhere to turn.
If your child has been a victim of bullying, and your school district has not followed the State’s mandated policy (i.e. failed to take bullying events seriously, failed to report bullying, failed to maintain written records, failed to impose sanctions on bullies, etc.) contact us today. The Finkelstein & Partners Civil Rights Litigation Group is dedicated and focused on protecting the young citizens of our community, and ensuring those who cause harm or fail to prevent it are held accountable.
