I'm fucking sick of school officials and authorities refusing to deal with bullying and child abuse: siding with bullies and abusers, blaming victims, ignoring requests for help, turning away when they see it happen, fretting over the effects of "having a record" if complaints are pursued, worried more about negative PR than the health and well-being of victims.

Either we protect children or we don't, period. If we're not protecting children as thoroughly as we possibly can, we're as much as consigning a sizable number of them to a lifetime of PTSD.
