Here is a part (from the movie) that sum this issue:
- "(...) why would teacher, some counselor, somebody in enforcement not do something? Because that is very derogatory to any kid (bullying). That's like a slap in the face to these parents. And my question is, if bartenders are responsible for a drunk that goes out and kills an innocent person, how come the bullies are not responsible for the death of this precious child?"
- "This is an awfully complicate and difficult issue. I know there;s a lot of anger about the school system. But the school can't, by itself, change a child's behavior if they're going home and not being reinforced at home to change their behavior."
- "Good luck with that. Most of these parents could really care less. We've been there, done that. You;re not going to get them in there. So then what do you do? We've been in this scenario, and you couldn't get the parents involved. So then what do you do? And we went to the police. Their hands are tied. You go to the school, and they say: "Kids will be kids." or "Let these girls work it out." or "Let your child work it out." Well, it's not just in school. They go on the internet, cell phones. They can damage somebody's life."
