Bayonne mom says school district isn't taking bullying 'seriously enough' after daughter's nose was broken

, one parent is speaking out about her own daughter's experience with bullying and says the district is not doing enough.

Bayonne High School is now rewarding students for getting along by giving them half days or pep rallies if students can go without fighting or bullying.But one Bayonne mother told CBS2 her two teenage daughters have been getting bullied at the school for weeks, culminating in her 15-year-old allegedly being hit in the face by another student and suffering a broken nose earlier this month.

Prior to the fight, the school separated her daughters from their bullies by making sure they were not in the hallways together, but their mother says that was not sufficient. "At least two weeks prior, I had been calling the school, asking for a parent conference because obviously what the school had been implementing and attempting to do, it just wasn't working," mother Iris Garcia said."I don't feel like they're taking this seriously enough. It shouldn't have taken for my daughter to have a broken nose for them to try to now do something.

The superintendent declined to comment on this specifically, but told CBS2 the planning for its new anti-bullying initiative began in January, saying in a statement in part,"We take all bullying incidents very seriously in Bayonne ... We are working on many strategies currently to eradicate and/or reduce it in all of our city schools."

In this day in age, in this current world. Life does not have any more value. Government doesn't care, sure as hell school won't either. And when a child dies in school, the school's and government ONLY action is to give fake speeches that don't mean anything & sweep under rug

Great story, but how did he 'recently' graduate high school? Did he finish in the middle of the school year? Good to see. I hope he also 'tea bags' people in Call of Duty when not dominating school. He sounds awesome! But I hope he can deal with being socially out of phase.
