Bullying
Children cannot learn if they don’t feel safe.
If your child is being bullied at school—by other students, by teachers, or by staff members—you can do something about it.
Both federal and New York State law protect children against harassment and discrimination based on their sexual orientation, gender identity, race, color, weight, national origin, ethnicity, religion, or disability.
When notified of bullying, school districts are required to act. Asher Gaughran P.C. can assist you in getting your child's school to address and combat bullying, and, if it fails to do so, in taking legal action to vindicate your child’s right to attend school free of bias, bullying, and harassment.
