Anti-bullying Policies May Be In Effect In Michigan Schools

Posted on May 18th 2011

The decade long push for anti-bullying legislation continues as proposed legislation has recently made it to the senate floor. Our Michigan personal injury lawyers realize what a rare opportunity this is.  

 

School bullying happens nearly everyday and with this bill if passed can help limit these occurrences. The abundance of Michigan student bullying lawsuits is unfortunate, and needs to be decreased.  Schools should do more to prevent student bullying, and this legislation is planning on taking steps forward. Some critics argue, “The bill won’t be effective” and are correct to an extent. However, while the bill may not affect a student directly, it will however affect school staff directly and immediately. Therefore, the bill will have an indirect effect on a student through the medium of school administrators. It is important this bill gets passed so school bullying can stop.

In accordance with student bullying becoming a growing issue, our Michigan personal injury attorneys created a student bullying infographic. The infographic displays student bullying statistics and facts in the United States.  

Our Michigan personal injury lawyers actively pursue lawsuits in several cases for parents and children who are being bullied in Michigan schools.

Student Bullying In Michigan Schools

Posted on May 11th 2011

Our Michigan personal injury lawyers recently created an infographic on student bullying in the United States. The infographic was created to display the facts and statistics about student bullying. Student bullying in schools in the United States is a serous issue and very prevalent in our school systems. Buckfire & Buckfire, P.C. is a Southfield law firm that specializes in representing parents and their children who are being bullied in Michigan schools.

The majority of states have bullying laws on the books, but most are not significant enough to impact this problem or reduce the amount of bullying that occurs nationwide. Without more stringent laws and the actual enforcement of those laws, school systems will not feel the pressure to take the affirmative measures necessary to eliminate the bullying problem that terrorizes so many innocent and vulnerable children everyday.
