Britain's latest study is showing that school bullying has become scarier than ever before. Children, as young as five, are being expelled from school for sexual harrassment, acts, and violence. (NOTE: Please be aware that the linked to article has some explicit information.)
One family discovered that the school system has in place a tutoring program for the offenders, but not the victims. In one sense you can see how that is necessary; the offender has been expelled but needs to continue their schooling. However, what happens if the victim is too scared to go back to school, (especially after the offenders are back in school themselves)?
Experts, (in what it doesn't say) are wondering why this type of bullying is growing so quickly. Socialization is certainly playing into a big piece of the pie.
