Make school children over the legal age accountable by making bullying illegal.

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

After reading in the media for the past week or so how many children have been assaulted, ranging from an assault where the child has lost consciousness to a child losing their life from hanging its time the government stepped in and made those who are over 10 accountable for their own actions.

This is just the start. Those who also record and not intervene should be held accountable too.
