Bullying is not taken as seriously as it should be in under criminal law, so parents are now turning to civil litigation to address the problem.
Most people have grown up with at least one bully in school, and most of the time it is upsetting but most children quietly suffer through it. However, with an increasing number of bully-induced suicides and the 24-hour reach of bullies through social media, it is not something that can be safely tolerated any longer. Most states have anti-bullying laws in place, but legislation is a far cry from enforcement.
