“Now is a time for the conversation,” Hartman further added. “If your child is being bullied, speak up about it. Give your children the confidence to tell a teacher, school counselor, principal, parent or other trusted adult. If the bullying continues, continue to tell someone. If they don’t get relief from that person, tell someone else, but please make sure they are speaking up for themselves. If that doesn’t work, please call the police department and we will help resolve the issue in any way we can.”
