Cyberbullying,Winnipeg School Division,Canada

A Winnipeg mom says her 9-year-old has been the victim of consistent bullying for the past year, which she says has been unaddressed by the school, or the school division.

The mom says her daughter has been the victim of verbal and cyber bullying since the start of the school year, which has had a severe impact on her mental health.A Winnipeg mom says she’s at a loss for what to do, after she says her daughter’s complaints of bullying went unaddressed by the administration at Lord Selkirk School in Winnipeg.

“They said, ‘Okay, we’ll take note of it’. And her teacher seemed to sort of address it saying that he had been seeing it in the class. And then he would try. It didn’t seem to have any effect, at least for my daughter.”The mom says she later got the school’s administration involved when the harassment moved to her daughter’s school email.

In a statement to Global News, Matt Henderson, the superintendent at Winnipeg School Division, says he would not comment on issues related to specific children or families. In one of her meetings with the school, the mom says the principal excused the bullying by claiming her daughter was “socially delayed”.
