The Mission Statement for The ‘Stop It’ Foundation

It is our intent and goal to reduce teen su***de and to support the families thereof with a three part mission.

1. To provide education that encourages behavioral change and policy change in regards to how bullying is addressed. One child’s gratification can come at great expense to another’s well being during a bullying incident. Often the per

petrator is ignorant about the level of damage being caused by their actions. Having never experienced harmful bullying, many adults in positions of power also fail to understand the difference between harmless fun and detrimental bullying when it occurs, and thus support policy accordingly. The line of appropriate behavior will be sharpened through education. Bullied children will know how to ask for help, with a cultural change making it okay and safe to ask for help, a result of education. Policy change on how bullying is addressed will come as understanding replaces ignorance.

2. To expose those who aggressively defend harmful behaviors and policies in regards to bullying, while also highlighting those who have encouraged healthy change. There are many reasons some aggressively defend bullying, ranging from liability concerns, ego concerns attached to their own leadership, laziness to do the work of addressing it, to feelings of guilt about incidents in their own lives or parenting. Those who let their personal issues prevent a child from being protected will be exposed, the truth about their character known. There are also those who have challenged bullies and these aggressive defenders of bullying, their courage will be highlighted.

3. To support families of teen su***de both emotionally and financially as funding permits. Studies have shown that su***de is one of the hardest deaths to grieve and recover from, leaving families devastated following their tragedy. The emotional complexities following a teen su***de are immense and lasting, and in many ways unlike any other. The emotional support we provide will be tailored to the needs of families of teen su***de. The devastation a family suffers following a teen su***de can also effect their financial status, with many unable to work for a time as they start the difficult process of coping with their child’s death. As funding permits, we hope to give these parents a moment to emotionally recover without the fear of losing their home, the stress of paying their bills, giving them a time to focus solely on addressing their tragedy.

A Utah district will pay $2 million to the family of a bullied Black girl who died by su***de

Payouts like these are forcing attorneys to redefine what is given as 'good legal advice' to organizational leaders on abuse prevention policy. Old advice . . . with the focus solely on reducing liability risk . . . instructed leaders to adopt as little policy as possible protecting children from life changing/ending abuse. And then once serious abuse occurred, to aggressively cover it up as a liability concern. That advice traded children's lives for money.

Even just 10 years ago, these types of cases were effectively defended without a payout, explaining the old 'good legal advice'.

So what has changed? Numerous recent studies prove that abuse is a very heavy contributor to teen su***de, evidence courts now consider.

Aimee Hairr, an abuse prevention activist, informed us last night that the Nevada Supreme Court ruled in favor of their lawsuit against the school district . . . which has been pending a final decision for years. Awesome news!!

The case was focused on the school district knowing her son was being severely abused at school, and did nothing to protect him or his friend. What makes this ruling so important for the abuse prevention effort, is that it sets a legal precedent for future legal cases, and will change the legal advice attorneys give to organizational policy makers on abuse prevention policy. 'Good legal advice' in Nevada will now instruct policy makers to adopt policy which protects children, instead of just covering it up as a 'liability concern' after it happens.

Even just 10 years ago these type of cases did not get favorable rulings. So what has changed? Countless research efforts now prove that bullying often does cause severe mental damage for all involved, and the harm caused does not go away when the abuse ends.

Great job Aimee Hairr, and to the late Mary Bryan!!! Your effective efforts lobbying for new laws and now your victory with this lawsuit will definitely save the future lives of countless Nevada children.
