Why the Safe To Talk Foundation?
Today 64 million grade school students will attend class. Your child is one of them. Did you know 1 in 3 of them will be bullied this month? 6 in 10 will see some one be bullied today. 4% of the time an adult intervenes. Peers intervene 11% of the time, but 85% of the time, no one intervenes.
That's just the beginning. Today more than 290,000 weapons will be brought to schools. That's about 1 for every 221 students. Odds are that some one has a weapon at your child's school today and odds are that another student knows about it. 92% of guns confiscated at school are the result of student tips, but that's only 1% of all weapons brought to school. 160,000 students are skipping class right now because of the fear of physical harm.
It's not that students don't want to speak up they just need an easy and confidential way they can report concerning behaviors without the fear of peer retaliation. The Safe to Talk Foundation is decreasing bullying, drugs, suicide, and school violence by giving kids across the county anonymous tip lines. Protect your child and make sure your school is involved.
