Please share what kind of bullying is in your area. How did you try to combat it?

Was it effective?

Local officials like to ignore attempts.
Unless you have finances to take a legal route you're probably out of luck. Even with cameras.

I stay out of that sort of stuff. That is between the bully and who they are picking on.

That makes you complicit, and the bully effective.

Today people will injure or kill you if you get involved in their wrong doings against somebody else. It is better them than me. That is all I have to say on this subject. P. S. If you are being so proactive to take a stand against bullying than why do you hide behind the ever so popular Anonymous Tag?

Cause combating bullying does not mean you have to be stupid.

I keep all my questions anonymous because I have made some online friends and I do not want them to know anymore about me that what I wish to disclose publicly.

Now lets apply that to real life. Maybe, next you see someone physically bullying someone, you can make a call to the police with an anonymous tip regarding what you witnessed.

Look at the Gabby Petito case. People reported an incident of her being slapped to the police. The police screwed up and botched things by not filing charges against both parties for domestic violence. So, don't hand me crap about calling the police, because if they did their jobs Gabby Petito would still be here today, Also, that idiots call to the police aggravated her boyfriend to harm her in the end. It is best to leave well enough alone.

One case does not define all. If there is a clear case of someone being physically assaulted. Better yet, you have secrets made a video of the incident via your phone. You can get help. Physical assault is a crime, and cops have to intervene.

You keep getting involve in other people's business and it will be too late to save yourself from their wrath. This behavior is best left for the victim of the bully to deal with. I would much rather be alive then get involve and possibly become a victim myself. If it does not directly involve me, I am steering clear of the situation.
