Question:

What should I do if my child is being bullied at school?

Answer:

If your child is experiencing bullying at their Maryland school, you can take legal steps by reporting the bullying to the school. The school is required to have standard procedures for reporting acts of bullying, harassment, or intimidation. They must provide notice of the bullying incident to both the parent of the victim and the parent of the perpetrator. The school must also have model procedures for promptly investigating bullying incidents and provide information about support services available to all students involved. You can request educational and therapeutic services for your child concerning bullying prevention.
