"If It Saves One Life Or Keeps One
Kid Out Of Jail, It's Priceless."
Cumberland (Maryland) Times-News
Violence in our country’s schools is a topic that has constantly been discussed among school superintendents, principals, teachers (and even students) ever since the senseless April 20, 1999 killing of eleven students that attended Columbine High School in Colorado. As the investigation of this terrible tragedy unfolded, it was learned that several other Columbine High School students knew of ’the plan’ perpetrated by two deranged students who murdered their fellow students in ‘cold blood’; but didn’t report to school authorities, or the police, what they had ‘heard and knew’.
Why didn’t the students that knew of this ’planned massacre’ tell the authorities or School Administrators about what was rumored to take place? One can only speculate, but it’s a ’good bet’ that the other students didn’t report what they had ‘heard and knew’ because they feared for their safety and didn’t want the stigma of being ‘found out’ or labeled as ‘snitches’ by their peers. As a direct result of their failing to report what they had ‘heard and knew’ but were afraid to report for fear of retaliation, eleven innocent students died.
Since 1991, our fully computerized and fully automated TIP LINE PROGRAM has been receiving ANONYMOUS, valuable information about suspected criminal activity taking place, or rumored to take place, in cities, counties and schools throughout the United States. Our exclusive, and proven, TIP LINE PROGRAM has previously been available ONLY to Law Enforcement Agencies. But now in an effort to help School Administrators thwart the increasing level of violence in America’s schools and the increase of ‘bullying’ of students simply wanting to get a quality education but can’t because of their fear for their safety, we’ve now made the decision to make our proven TIP LINE PROGRAM available DIRECTLY to School Administrators throughout America. Our modest cost of less than $2 a day, prepaid annually in advance plus a one time “Set Up” charge of only $100.00, ensures that students (and teachers) will be able to feel secure in their schools and will be able to anonymously report information that threatens their safety twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
Our TIP LINE PROGRAM provides school districts with a toll free telephone number students (and teachers) can call 24/7/365 to ANONYMOUSLY report bullying, drug activity, weapons, vandalism, theft; virtually ANY type of criminal activity taking place in their schools, as well as the identities of those individuals involved. After the caller leaves their information, an e-mail message, containing an ’audio file’ of the actual information left, is immediately sent to whomever the school has designated as their TIP LINE PROGRAM COORDINATOR. After listening to the information left, the school’s TIP LINE PROGRAM COORDINATOR initiates whatever action is necessary, including notifying local Law Enforcement if necessary. A special CRIME TIP REPORTING E-MAIL ADDRESS for ANONYMOUSLY reporting information via e-mail is also provided to each participating school district.
Getting our TIP LINE PROGRAM operational in a school district can usually be accomplished in just a day or two and there is NO EQUIPMENT TO LEASE, BUY OR INSTALL. When the school bells begin to ring once again in a few short weeks, schools can now welcome their students (and teachers) back with more than pencils, notebooks, backpacks and report cards. Schools can now welcome them back with a sense of security that will help them feel safer in their schools by giving them the capability to ANONYMOUSLY report information about bullying and other perils in their schools.
Our proven, and effective TIP LINE PROGRAM is now celebrating its TWENTYITH YEAR of providing our service to Police & Sheriff’s Departments, Drug Task Forces and other Criminal Justice Agencies throughout the United States. Now, for the first time, we are making our TIP LINE PROGRAM available to School Administrators.

Bullying includes a wide variety of behaviors, but all involve a person or a group repeatedly trying to harm someone who is weaker or more vulnerable. It can involve direct attacks (such as hitting, threatening or intimidating, maliciously teasing and taunting, name-calling, making sexual remarks, and stealing or damaging belongings) or more subtle, indirect attacks (such as spreading rumors or encouraging others to reject or exclude someone).
Teen bullying is more common that you think. Almost 30 percent of teens in the United States (or over 5.7 million) are estimated to be involved in school bullying as either a bully, a target of teen bullying, or both. In a recent national survey of students in grades 6 to 10, 13 percent reported bullying others, 11 percent reported being the target of school bullies, and another 6 percent said they bullied others and were bullied themselves.
Limited available data suggest that teen bullying is much more common among younger teens than older teens. As teens grow older, they are less likely to bully others and to be the targets of bullies.
School bullying occurs more frequently among boys than girls. Teenage boys are much more likely to bully others and to be the targets of bullies. While both boys and girls say others bully them by making fun of the way they look or talk, boys are more likely to report being hit, slapped, or pushed. Teenage girls are more often the targets of rumors and sexual comments. While teenage boys target both boys and girls, teenage girls most often bully other girls, using more subtle and indirect forms of aggression than boys. For example, instead of physically harming others, they are more likely to spread gossip or encourage others to reject or exclude another girl.
School bullying affect teens who are the targets of bullies. Teen bullying can lead teenagers to feel tense, anxious, and afraid. It can affect their concentration in school, and can lead them to avoid school in some cases. If teen bullying continues for some time, it can begin to affect teens' self-esteem and feelings of self-worth. It also can increase their social isolation, leading them to become withdrawn and depressed, anxious and insecure. In extreme cases, bullying can be devastating for teens, with long-term consequences.
Some teens feel compelled to take drastic measures, such as carrying weapons for protection or seeking violent revenge. Others, in desperation, even consider suicide. Researchers have found that years later, long after the bullying has stopped, adults who were bullied as teens have higher levels of depression and poorer self-esteem than other adults.
Teen bullying behavior has long-term consequences. Teen bullying is often a warning sign that children and teens are heading for trouble and are at risk for serious violence. Teens (particularly boys) who bully are more likely to engage in other antisocial/delinquent behavior (e.g., vandalism, shoplifting, truancy, and drug use) into adulthood. They are four times more likely than nonbullies to be convicted of crimes by age 24, with 60 percent of bullies having at least one criminal conviction.
