School-age children have various constitutional and civil rights that apply in schools. There are also an array of additional federal, state and local laws that protect students' civil rights by prohibiting schools from discriminating against them on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity) and disability.
The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time. Bullying includes actions such as making threats, spreading rumors, attacking someone physically or verbally, and intentionally excluding someone from a group. Bullying often occurs because of a child's physical on learning disability, sexual orientation, physical appearance or other unlawful criteria.
Children are among the most physically and emotionally vulnerable members of our communities. When adults take advantage of a child's vulnerability in order to engage in inappropriate contact or other sexual acts, the damage it causes can be devastating. Victims of sexual abuse often encounter a long and difficult struggle to recover from the abuse situation.
