The Anti Bullying Act: Helping Schools Keep Your Child

Safe
Every person has the right to be protected against violence and abuse, and your
children are no exception. As parents, you should do all that you can to shelter and keep your
children safe from harm.
But it is only a matter of time before these children grow, and you will no longer be able to keep
a watchful eye on them all day. Such is the case when they begin to go to school. It is for this
reason that the Anti-Bullying Act has been established by the Philippine Government.
Among the biggest fears of parents, and one of the reasons why many consider home-schooling,
is that their children might be bullied while within school premises. Sadly, such cases do occur,
both in the elementary and high school levels, and even in college.
As of 2013, with the implementation of the Anti-Bullying Act, schools have become better to be
able to protect their students against acts of abuse from their peers.
