Anti-Bullying strategies for the eldorado hills community

Stop

Talk 

Walk

What do you think of this anti-bullying advice? Some advice is better than no advice. This advice seems appropriate for preventive medicine. The first step towards anti bullying and bully prevention, but there is much more involved with the process. It's a great start. So what's the next step.

What do we do when things have escalated? What do we do if it gets physical? What if there are multiple people bullying at the same time? What if it's all online? What if they are stronger than me? What if the teacher or person I report the problem to doesn't listen or do anything?

We will be covering these questions this August and September at El Dorado Hills Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. We want to make a difference in the community. We want to empower our community. If you have any questions or concerns we would love to get involved.

ROCKFORD — A simple anti-bullying strategy — stop, talk and walk — was part of the message Winnebago County State’s Attorney Joe Bruscato gave Haskell Year-Round Academy students Tuesday morning.

Inspired by an anti-bullying program from the National Crime Prevention Council, Bruscato wants to help students confront bullying.

“When it comes to bullying, I think sometimes people are ill prepared to actually handle it when they see it,” Bruscato said. “Part of my presentation is to make sure they recognize bullying and they know who to report it to, but also when they are actually confronted by bullies, try to remember something that will keep them safe and get them out of the situation.”

On the fifth day of Haskell’s new alternative school year, Bruscato gave an entertaining presentation to about 120 third, fourth and fifth graders in the school gym. Bruscato plans to give similar talks at 11 schools this summer and fall in Rockford and Winnebago County.

He taught the students a little about what he does as an elected official and the county’s top prosecutor. He also showed a cartoon video featuring McGruff the Crime Dog helping a little girl named Samantha overcoming bullying at her ballet class.

“I learned bullying is not kind to other people,” said Tyler Gaines, a 9-year-old fourth grader.

Bullyproof Transformation with Jiu-Jitsu: Thank you for sharing Rener and Ryron!

     Austin McDaniel is a 14-year old boy from Indiana who loves video games and electric guitar. He gets good grades, has loving parents, and is kind to others. On one fateful day in September 2012, he had his dignity ripped away by a heartless bully who viscously assaulted him at school in front of his peers. Austin was choked from behind and subsequently knocked unconscious by a barrage of punches to the face...all of which was caught on camera by the school's security surveillance system. 

     After seeing the footage of the assault, Rener Gracie reached out to the McDaniel family to invite them to come to California so that Austin could rebuild what was taken from him during the attack. They accepted the offer, and in this short documentary you will witness the transformation that took place over a single week of intensive training (20+ hours of instruction) at the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy in June of 2013. 

     Before the assault, Austin didn't think it was possible for someone to be kind, courteous, and respectful while ALSO being strong, confident, and assertive. Now he knows otherwise. Learning Gracie Jiu-Jitsu has given him the confidence to take a stand against bullies and the technique to defend himself non-violently should he ever need to. 

     Every time a child commits suicide as a result of bullying, it could have been avoided. Please help us save lives by sharing this video with parents everywhere.
