Meth Law Offices Stops Bullying from Affecting your Children's lives and education
Meth Law Seeks to Hold Tormentors Accountable
People are finally recognizing the consequences of bullying behavior online, in school, and in the workplace. Meth Law Offices, PC enables victims to assert their legal rights to live, work and study peacefully without fear of physical or mental harm. I use recent developments in New York law to help ensure that bullies are held accountable for their actions. If you are being harassed, you do not have to wait until something catastrophic occurs. I will give you the legal support you need to establish a livable environment for you or your child.
New York’s Dignity for All Students Act, or DASA, which took effect in 2012, amended state education law to protect the state’s public school students from both physical intimidation and cyberbullying. When an incident is reported, schools must take prompt action to end the harassment, bullying or intimidation and notify law enforcement when an action constitutes criminal conduct. Each school must appoint a Dignity Act coordinator and report incidents to the state’s Education Department on an annual basis.
For many reasons, administrators and teachers sometimes attempt to ignore or cover up instances of bullying. This is unlawful and potentially dangerous. If your child is being bullied and school officials are not providing effective assistance, I can work immediately to enforce his or her rights.
