Reply #30: Gees, I don't know, you can legislate it, but how do you police it?

Are we talking about getting children in the system for calling each other names? Like criminal charges? Bullying exists on every school ground in America. In 95% of cases its just kids learning how to interact. I was bullied (verbally) throughout Middle School. I was also very sensetive. I wouldn't consider that to be criminal. It's just kids being mean. Many of those same kids I became friends with later. I'd have a big problem with arresting a child for saying something mean to another child. Anything violent of course, but it's a little difficult for me to swallow criminalizing verbal with kids.
