Bullying, like all forms of physical, mental, and emotional abuse, is one of the myriad threats facing our children today with upwards of 20-percent to nearly half of all school-age children experiencing varying degrees of the abuse in the classroom and on the playground, and at least 15-percent having to deal with a radically-weaponized version of bullying on social media. Bullying is a societal scourge that is far too-often underreported (some children feel ashamed to admit to having been bullied) with victims often carrying the emotional trauma with them for the rest of their lives. And far too many children have resorted to suicide as a way out.
Writer, actor, film-producer, and world champion karate fighter KEITH VITALI WANTS TO END BULLYING. And his new children’s book, VICTOR STOPS THE SCHOOL BULLY, is a substantive means to that end.
