Information about bullying:

STATE LAWS ON HARASSMENT:

  • Mississippi Code 37-11-20 makes it illegal to "intimidate, threaten or coerce, or attempt to intimidate, threaten or coerce" any student interfering with the person's ability to attend classes. If guilty, a person could be fined up to $500 and imprisoned for up to six months, or both. Anyone younger than 17 years old would be dealt with in Youth Court, according to the code.

  • Mississippi codes 97-45-15, 97-29-63, 97-29-45, 97-45-17 and 37-11-23 cover such things as cyber stalking and disturbing classroom instruction.

     

    • AIDING A VICTIM:

  • Tell the child or adolescent that you care and are concerned. Ask the child to tell you what is going on and provide an opportunity for the child to talk to you openly. Explain that telling is not tattling and that you need the information in order to help.

  • Make it clear that the bullying is not the child's fault and that telling you was the right thing to do.

  • Gather a complete violence history from the child or adolescent that addresses exposure to violence, safety issues, stressors in school, family and community.

  • Talk to the child's parents/caregivers about bullying and its seriousness. Address any myths they might hold about bullying.

  • Provide the child's parents with information about bullying and how to help their child respond to bullying.

  • Provide the child or adolescent with information on bullying.

  • Encourage the child's school to implement a comprehensive violence prevention plan that includes an anti-bullying component.
