Trying to find out who the owner of this company is. My Grandson is being bullied there. The director is stating nothing can be done unless someone see's it. It has happened serval times, my Daughter was told they talked to the parents. Later to find out that was not true. I'm going to see what legal action can be done. Its time to stop kids from being bullied and it needs to start when their young. I would suggest all parents who have kids that are being bullied, to seek legal action. Maybe the schools will address this issue more serious, and don't be afraid to go after the parents of the child as well.
