Fran Lyon (Against All Odds The continuing story-) Last year a young woman who lived in Hexham was "put at risk" from losing her baby to Social Services as she was deemed to be "at risk" of causing emotional harm.

Anti Bullying Page Bullying is traumatic and disturbing so we have prepared an anti bullying page, I cannot express how upsetting bullying is for any child or even adult and yet there is a significant lack of action taken by the authorities. Indeed schools throughout the North East and the UK more than often cover over events and ignore children's needs in this area. The keepers of this site believe that authorities should stop being so damned ignorant over the issues of bullying and start listening. Too many lives have been lost and too many people have suffered lasting harm, due not only to the neglect of schools but the deplorable actions of the Education services and authorities over this issue. Indeed those who claim to act in the best interests of the child seldom if ever do so and can also be deceptive, lying and deceitful in the process. Here you will find organisations that can help and a warning about those in authority who sometimes just simply turn a blind eye to what is happening to your child Once again if you have been bullied and would like to publish a story or poem about your experiences you can do so here.
