LONDON ANTI-BULLYING COALITION (LABC)
Battling Bullies
features London family
Studio 2, a TVO program, takes a look at the impact of
bullying in schools and features the experiences from five
London and area families.
LABC hosted an interactive forum, Moving from Words
to Action, on March 29 at Fanshawe College. The forum gave
the community an opportunity to meet the LABC Board of Directors,
receive information about the World Bullying Conference held in
Ottawa this month, view the documentary Battling Bullies and
ask local lawyer Andrew Camman about the legal rights of
victims and parents when their child is being bullied.
The Studio 2 crew was in London for the initial meeting of
the LABC, attended by more than 120 people in January. The crew
taped footage and interviewed community members at the
meeting.
Jane Jankovic, the series producer, says the documentary,
Battling Bullies:
- reveals the devastating consequences of bullying on
students and their families;
- explores the influence of homophobia and the role of the
Internet in bullying;
- examines the behaviour of bullies with Dr. Debra Pepler, a
psychologist at York University and the Hospital for Sick
Children; and
- visits an anti-bullying program within the Bluewater School
Board in Kent County.
