"To all the bullies out there, I just want you to know that as much as we despise your actions never, ever do we wish for you to feel the paralyzing pain that engulfs our bodies, a pain so severe that it makes the simple act of breathing difficult or the guilt that leaves us wondering what we could have done differently-or that struggle to remember the last words we spoke…Our hearts are beyond broken."

I was raising my own worst nightmare. Smack dab in the middle of my brood of five kids, was a charismatic, sassy, leggy, blonde, dance-y, athletic girl oozing confidence...

"A boy at school punched my daughter in the face. HARD. And yes, I have pictures..."

The privacy your child thinks they deserve? Umm…nope. Your house, your bills, your rules. Privacy comes when our children are “off our payroll.”

They just weren't gonna let that slide.

“The bully has pulled her hair, pushed her, smacked Lilly-Jo and also shut a locker door on Lilly-Jo's head, stamped on her foot when it was broken – the list is endless."

"So many people questioned, ‘Why didn’t anyone know?’ In reality, everyone knew. No one hid it." The school did NOTHING. The bullies' parents did NOTHING.

"It's been hell. I haven't slept. I haven't eaten. I can't do anything. I can't even leave his side."
