Family voices concerns of bullying in SISD
WEEKEND
EDITION
TODAY
Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) -- A Seguin ISD family is frustrated and says it can no longer wait patiently for someone in the district to protect their kids from bullying at a local campus. That frustration led the family to publicly address Seguin ISD Board of Trustees members during its recent meeting. Speaking before the trustees during the public-to-be-heard portion of the meeting were Jerry and Melissa Belmarez. Although Melissa attempted to read her statement, she could not fight the tears and frustration, forcing her husband to take over her notes and share what his family has experienced for months. In his statement to the board, Jerry spoke about the couple’s two boys, who have been the victims of relentless bullying since elementary school, which
has become more prominent now that they are in middle school. “Our boys are good respectful intelligent young men. It’s getting really hard as a parent to see your son’s spirit for life be broken due to the physical abuse, verbal abuse, and mental abuse. Every day they dread going to school. They are constantly looking over their shoulders wondering if they have to keep defending themselves whether it’s verbal or physical,” said Jerry. Bullying, pg. 2
