Bullying in various forms is on the rise in schools in the US and yet there is no federal law addressing this concern. The Department of Education provides some guidelines for states to create laws and policies to be implemented by individual school districts. We cross-referenced various statistics including the Department of Education and individual state government reports filed within the past few years to understand the discrepancies in state policies and bullying numbers across the country. We dug deeper into the prevention methods and policies enacted by each state –as well as its history –to uncover the underlying connections that provide for successful, or not-so-successful, anti-bullying environments.

Description of the System: The Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System
(YRBSS) monitors six categories of priority health-risk behaviors among youth and young
adults: 1) behaviors that contribute to unintentional injuries and violence; 2) tobacco use; 3)
alcohol and other drug use; 4) sexual behaviors that contribute to unintended pregnancy and
sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection;
5) unhealthy dietary behaviors; and 6) physical inactivity. In addition, YRBSS monitors the
prevalence of obesity and asthma. YRBSS includes a national school-based Youth Risk Behavior
Survey (YRBS) conducted by CDC and state and large urban school district school-based
YRBSs conducted by state and local education and health agencies. This report summarizes
results from the 2011 national survey, 43 state surveys, and 21 large urban school district surveys
conducted among students in grades 9–12. Results: Results from the 2011 national YRBS
indicated that many high school students are engaged in priority health-risk behaviors associated
with the leading causes of death among persons aged 10–24 years in the United States. During
the 30 days before the survey, 32.8% of high school students nationwide had texted or e-mailed
while driving, 38.7% had drunk alcohol, and 23.1% had used marijuana. During the 12 months
before the survey, 32.8% of students had been in a physical fight, 20.1% had ever been bullied
on school property, and 7.8% had attempted suicide. Many high school students nationwide are
engaged in sexual risk behaviors associated with unintended pregnancies and STDs, including
HIV infection. Nearly half (47.4%) of students had ever had sexual intercourse, 33.7% had had
sexual intercourse during the .

SEX OFFENDER VERSION

Most sexual offenses are committed by strangers.
Most sexual offenses are committed by someone known to the victim or victim’s family, regardless if the victim is a child or an adult.
Approximately 60% of boys and 80% of girls who are sexually victimized are abused by someone known to the child or the child’s family.
From 2005 to 2010, 78% of sexual violence involved an offender who was a family member, intimate partner, friend, or acquaintance.

Bullet 2 – (60% boys / 80% girls) is from Lieb, Quinsey, and Berliner, 1998.
In a 2009 study conducted by the US Dept. of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, 13,471 juvenile sex offender cases were evaluated which revealed that in 88.2% of reported incidents, the victim was either a family member or acquaintance.
Only 2.5% involved a victim who was considered a stranger to the offender.

Sexual offense rates are higher than ever and continue to climb.
Despite the increase in publicity about sexual crimes, from 1995 to 2010, the estimated annual rate of female (age 12 or older) rape or sexual assault victimizations has declined 58%.

Only a fraction of those who commit sexual offenses are apprehended and convicted for their crimes.

In Ohio, youth who are incarcerated are more likely to reoffend and have less success in education and employment.

Mandated Reporting of Child Abuse
Mandated reporting of child abuse is meant to shield children from the problem. Mandated reporting laws cross disciplines (counseling, psychology, medicine, nursing, education, etc.). Some professionals have criticized these laws on the basis of interfering with their professional relationship with children. Additionally, there are several legal and ethical dilemmas associated with mandated reporting laws, further complicating the professionals’ practice.
Mandated reporting laws are very necessary requirements for a system to protect children. The efforts to find better ways to protect children against maltreatment and neglect by the adults on whom they are dependent began actively during the 1950s. Research by radiologists and pediatricians during the 1950s produced evidence of extensive physical child abuse and killing cases by their caretakers (Duncan, 1994). Kempe et al (1962) , in “Battered-Child Syndrome”, a historic and landmark study, produced valuable empirical evidence on the severity of physical child abuse occurrences by child’s caretakers. The findings in Kempe et al (1962) raised public concerns with the burgeoning child abuse and neglect cases, leading to the quick development and enactment of mandatory reporting of child maltreatment laws in every state in the US (Duncan, 1994).
Specifically, the CAPTA (Federal Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act) directs each State to develop and enact procedures or provisions for mandating specific [group of] individuals to report either suspected or known child abuse and neglect cases. Thus, all USA States, and the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands have statutory provisions mandating child abuse reporting by certain professional and other persons to the authorities, with the laws also addressing institutional responsibility in making reports, reporter’s identity’s confidentiality, and report-making standards (Child Welfare Information Gateway, 2019). The mandated child abuse reporting laws have had a positive impact in the fight against child maltreatment, especially by increasing the number of cases being reported to the authorities for further remedial actions. For instance, thanks to the mandated child abuse reporting law’s enactment in every State, the number of reports experienced a meteoric rise nationally from 10,000 in 1962 to almost over 3 million in 1992. One effect of this positive development is that it has led to the child welfare agencies’ unanticipated transformation into protective services agencies for children. Furthermore, nationwide data also suggests and attributes substantial reduction in child abuse-related fatalities to increased reporting (Duncan, 1994).
However, the mandated child abuse reporting laws have al ...
