Bullying - 5yrs old

Sunday 14th Apr Our family has a personal link to serious bullying and the consequences that come from it. My daughter - whilst aged just 5 years old - in prep at school - was bullied due to her beautiful chocolate brown skin - and because parents had not taught their children how to be accepting of others & their differences! My daughter was bullied verbally first, then physically/ resulting in a swollen little face, with bruised eyes, a swollen face, and damaged eye socket & nose. The bruising & swelling were so bad that 3 weeks later, her much needed next heart surgery was almost cancelled due to the damage & only by the Grace of God, a long detailed discussion amongst specialists & the urgent need, was her surgery able to proceed with caution. The responsible party & their family were never held accountable despite formal complaints.  Share
