THE BULLY PERISCOPE

Q&A

** NOTE – In this Q&A Section all bullies will be named Gene and all victims will be named Andrew. ***

Q- How does The Bully Periscope shut down Gene (the bully)?

A- Actually, in 3 different ways. Once Andrew (the victim) and all others file their incident reports, Andrew’s attorney gets a copy of all reports from The Bully Periscope database. Then the attorney sends a notification letter to the principal with all bully incident reports attached. Once the principal receives this letter they will have a meeting with Gene and inform him that an attorney has contacted the school regarding Gene bullying Andrew. REMEMBER, the bullies we stop are middle school and high school students, and students this age know only 2 things about lawyers: 1- They are very powerful. 2- If a lawyer is coming after you then you are in big, big trouble. The reality is this, the letter from the attorney will scare the literal breath out of Gene 99% of the time, and the last thing Gene will do is attack Andrew again knowing that Andrew now has a lawyer protecting him. Gene, will on his own, stay far away from Andrew. The second way is this; in the notification letter it informs the principal that if this abuse continues there will be legal action initiated against the school and Gene’s parents, so, Gene’s parents will demand that Gene stay away from Andrew or face serious consequences from them. The 3rd way is the school will demand that Gene stay away from Andrew or face serious discipline consequences. No way the school allows Gene to continue bullying Andrew and accumulating bully strikes; that would be a guaranteed lawsuit. By either one of these means or a combination of the 3, Gene is done with bullying Andrew.

Q- Does The Bully Periscope effectively shut down any other bullies even though Gene is the bully that is being reported and addressed?

A-      Absolutely, here is how. Remember, these are middle school and high school students and when they learn that Andrew has an attorney protecting him they will want no part of that fight. Bullies choose weaker people as targets, not the most powerful people in the school and once it is know that Andrew has an attorney (which will happen very quickly) he will be seen as VERY POWERFUL and a huge threat to anyone attempting to abuse him.

Q- What is the primary goal of The Bully Periscope System?

A-      To once again have all students in taxpayer funded schools following the 2 simple James Wilson Rules of Conduct: 1- Keep your hands and your mouth to yourself. 2- Do what your teachers tell you to do.

Q- Who was James Wilson?

A- James Wilson was a beloved educator and coach who, in 1970, successfully led the integration of public schools in a small South Carolina textile mill town called Ninety Six, S.C. The first day of integration Coach Wilson told his students that the schools were going to be a great place of learning and fun because everybody was going to follow 2 simple rules of conduct:  1- Keep your hands and your mouth to yourself. 2- Do what your teachers tell you to do. These 2 simple rules still apply today and it is our goal at The Bully Periscope to once again establish this level of order in our schools so teachers can once again teach, and students can learn at the highest levels possible….and have a lot of fun. The creator of The Bully Periscope System was one of Coach Wilson’s 7th grade students that day.  

Q- Is openly disobeying a teacher considered bullying?

A- ABSOLUTELY. Bullying occurs when one person exerts power over another person because of a real or perceived advantage over the victim. When a student disobeys a teacher they are exerting a perceived power over that teacher to do so; textbook bullying.

Q- What if the bully report is fraudulent or untrue?

A- The Bully Periscope bully reports are designed to allow school administrators to quickly recognize a report as fraudulent. Witnesses are a big part in exposing fraudulent reports in many cases. It is impossible for multiple students to tell the same lie exactly alike, and in most cases when students file false reports they never address details among themselves; all a school administrator does is ask for some specific details and the entire scam unravels. Devices like school cameras, etc. can also expose false reports.

Q- How can The Bully Periscope effect the image of a community?

A- NOTHING today can make a community more attractive to young couples with children than to have bully free schools. The Bully Periscope System now makes bully free schools a real option for any community.

Q- Does The Bully Periscope agree that all students should be guaranteed the opportunity to receive a free, taxpayer funded education?

A- YES, absolutely as long as they follow the 2 James Wilson rules of Conduct;  1- Keep your hands and your mouth to yourself. 2- Do what your teachers tell you to do.

Q- Can a parent file a lawsuit against a school/school district for negligence if the school is aware that their child is being bullied/harassed ?

A- ABSOLUTELY. At the end of this answer is a link to hundreds and hundreds of successful lawsuits against schools. There are certain requirements before the lawsuit can be filed and the combination of The Bully Periscope bully reports and the notification letter from the attorney lay the groundwork for that. However, very rarely will The Bully Periscope produce a lawsuit; in almost all cases the bullying will stop immediately before any lawsuit is necessary (please see the next question below).
