Abstract

Bullying is a phenomenon that results in psychological and physical effects, or even suicides and school shootings. Many states have enacted anti-bullying laws to prevent bullying, but we still see the same tragedies that come from it. A town in New York jails parents for their child's bullying and has seen improvement. However, the goal of this amendment is to deter, not to punish. To protect the welfare and safety of our state's children, this Note proposes that New York amend its parental liability law by adopting the parental liability laws of Oregon, Tennessee, and the notification law of Utah. © 2022 Association of Family and Conciliation Courts.
