    Parents’ Corner: Breaking News Live. Today’s episode: “The System Gets an F: Bullying, Suicide, and the Fight for Our Kids.”

    • Right now, 1 in 5 kids is being bullied today. • Bullied kids are up to 9 times more likely to consider suicide than kids who aren’t. • 160,000 kids skip school every single day just to avoid being bullied. • Suicide is the second leading cause of death for kids and young adults ages 10 to 24. Let that sink in. This isn’t small. This isn’t “kids being kids.” This is a crisis in our schools and in our homes. Today we’re talking about bullying. There are those who say “kids will be kids.” I say that’s false. Kids being kids is one thing — being bullied is another. There are kids who are bigger than others, kids who think they’re better than others, and kids who just don’t care sometimes — because of what’s going on in their household. Can we go to a kid’s house and have a conversation with their parents? Absolutely not. Can we catch them and talk to them where they are? Yes. We meet them where they are. That’s what we’re trying to do with Parents’ Corner: Breaking News Live — make sure parents have more power when it comes to their kids. I know my kids better than anybody. They don’t think so, but I do. Every parent knows their kid better than anybody. And the harder we push the system, the more we see how deep it runs — it doesn’t care, almost like an algorithm that doesn’t care at some levels. When it comes to reporting bullying and holding bullies accountable, the system gets an F. Just like a recent visit to one school revealed — an F. We don’t want to throw shade on anybody, but we want the truth told: the anti-bullying system is broken. It’s a disaster. And that’s part of why some kids are driven to consider suicide — the worst possible outcome. If you or someone you know is contemplating suicide: call or text 988, or text HOME to 741741. Talk to a trusted adult. Talk to your parents. Don’t make that move — everyone will miss you, and everyone will wonder why nobody listened when they had the chance. Let that sink in.

    🎙️ PODCAST TITLE: THE SILENCE AROUND BULLYING

    🎙️ PODCAST TITLE: THE SILENCE AROUND BULLYING I just completed an important podcast about bullying—what it looks like, why many children remain silent, and why parents, educators, and communities must respond before the harm becomes permanent. DEFINITION: Bullying is unwanted aggressive behavior involving a real or perceived power imbalance. It is repeated—or has the potential to be repeated. THE FACTS: • Approximately 19% of students ages 12–18 reported being bullied during school. • Bullying was reported more often among middle-school students (26%) than high-school students (16%). • Only about 44% of bullied students said they notified an adult at school. • Among bullied students, approximately 22% experienced bullying online or through text messages. • Bullying is linked with increased risks of anxiety, depression, academic problems, substance use, and suicidal thoughts—but suicide is complex and should never be attributed to bullying alone. MY MESSAGE: Children do not care how much we know until they know how much we care. Listening is important, but action is what protects them. CALL TO ACTION: Ask your child what is happening at school. Document every incident. Report it in writing. Request the investigation findings and follow up until meaningful action is taken. 🚨 Immediate danger: Call 911💚 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: Call or text 988📱 Crisis Text Line: Text HOME to 741741🏠 National Runaway Safeline: 1-800-RUNAWAY Mothers Against Bullying“It Takes a Village.” Sources: National Center for Education Statistics and StopBullying.gov CONFIDENTIALITY, NON-CIRCULATION & DIGITAL/MEDIA PROTECTION NOTICE: This original podcast content, title, description, concepts, program materials, branding, and related intellectual property may not be copied, reproduced, republished, recorded, uploaded, distributed, circulated, altered, or used—in whole or in part—without prior written authorization from Ray Walton or LUAAC. © 2026 League of United African American Citizens (LUAAC).
