The victim is the villain:
How about firing teachers, principals, and suing school districts that allwo “hostile work conditions” to continue instead of expelling the bully!
Almost all school shootings in recent years have involved victims who retaliated. This presentation is based on Dr. Beane’s son’s journey and a study of other young people who have experienced the destructive path that threatens the well-being of students and creates unsafe schools. Dr. Beane’s illustrations (using an apple, styrofoam plate, skewer, etc.) and true heart-breaking stories are unforgettable.
Dr. Beane has served as an expert witness for the defense attorney in a criminal case involving retaliation – explaining to the jury why a high school student took the path from hurt to revenge. It is important for DARE officers to understand this path and to be able to identify where victims are on the path. If there is ever a hostage situation involving victims of bullying, this information will be extremely helpful to officers.
