Wrestler Chris Jericho Shares A Video Of His Niece Being Viciously Abused By Bullies To Urge That Schools Take Action
Hey @HillsboroughSch– My niece has been incessantly bullied at #MulrennanMiddleSchool for months. Despite my families pleas, nobody did anything to help…and this was the result a few days ago. If u won’t take action, I’d love to discuss this on @abcactionnews & @wfla ANYTIME! pic.twitter.com/mTUVzbdwuP

Several people on social media denounced the event and expressed their support for the wrestler’s family.
Renee Paquette, a Canadian television host, wrote, “This is dreadful.”
Terrance McKinney, an MMA fighter, advised they contact the parents of the girl who assaulted Jericho’s niece.
“I wish I could be closer to help.” Bullying is something I despise, and it generally begins at home. He said, “It’s time to call those parents.”
What Happened:
Firstly, when questioned about government entities that deal with school bullying, Florida Governor’s Press Secretary Christina Pushaw responded, “This is bad!” This post mentions the school district, and I believe the individual who escalated to them did the proper thing. The Florida Department of Education is the governmental agency in charge of public education.”
They should contact the parents of the girl who assaulted Jericho’s niece, according to MMA fighter Terrance McKinney.
“In terms of past incidences, administrators cannot proactively try to address conflict if they are not informed of poor behavior between students.” “Any occurrences on or off-campus should always be reported to a trusted adult at school or to their parents,” she said.
Jericho, on the other hand, said that messages to the school administrator regarding the bullying went ignored.
“I have screenshots of texts made to the principal on May 6 by my niece’s older sister, requesting assistance with some girls who are messing with my sister.” He is yet to provide an update on if any action has been taken against the hoodlums for their abhorrent actions and act on his cousin.
