Bullying and special needs kids

Dr. Matthew Davis of the University of Michigan says bullying is a common problem regardless of whether a child has a special need.

"For the children age 6 to 17 in this study, we found that one out of every three had a parent who reported they were likely to be bullied. That�s regardless of whether they had a special health care need or not. Bullying � most likely in a school setting but it also could also be in the community setting � is a problem for everyone."
