URGENT
Dear Teens and Children:
This letter is to each of you right now, yes all of YOU, each unique and beautiful!
There are individuals your age who are bullies in the worst way, they hide behind their text, IPads and Instragram and create things that no child should read or be subjected to, that is cyber bullying. It is a crime and you are not who they say about you!
At 2:30 yesterday I received an email from a child like you, who felt desperate "to go on, because someone sent a text to entire school about me (them) and it was horrible, I am just crying I am so sad". We talked they shared with their mom and they are getting help to stop the account about them.
Today at 4:15 pm I got a text from a beautiful young lady that someone had made an instragram account about her that was so hurtful, my heart hurts for her. This nasty person who created it, will be turned over to the police and the school, as this will stop.
If someone did this today to you, you are not alone, you have us fighting for you, so keep strong. You must report it to your parents, they are your strength to get through this attack. Please know what they write or share is not you, and they will be dealt with, you are not doing anything wrong by telling your Principle and parents.
Please make a promise with me right now, that you will not hurt yourself in anyway and you will reach out to someone you feel safe with who will protect you.
I am sending you a big hug and will check in with you tomorrow, I promise. Email me if you need a voice.
Hugs~
