No parent loves the idea of viewing his child on CCTV camera physically assaulting another child. Watching your darling child kicking and shoving a smaller child while he is applauded by his or her friends can be horrific and a shaming experience because there is no excuse for this behavior, which is always blamed on parents.



You may ask yourself where you made a mistake in rearing your child. You point out that he is smart kid, popular in school, and has loads of friends. That's it. Not all bullies have low self-esteem. Being popular, your child is showing his power by demeaning others, scaring others, or embarrassing others in full view of other children.

You never can tell if you son or daughter is a school bully unless his or her bullying is caught on a CCTV camera. With this proof, your child cannot give any excuse for their bad behavior or cruelty to other children. As a parent, you should immediately step in and help your child correct his ways before he becomes an adult bully secretly loathed by his peers.

Signs Your Child is a Bully

Parents or school authorities are the last to know about bullies because the victims prefer to keep their shame or fear to themselves. The presence of a CCTV camera in school premises, corridors, lockers, gyms, and playgrounds, catches the bully at work. But as a parent, how do you know if your child is a bully?

Bullies show the following behavior at home:

* Threatens his brothers and sisters

* Physically harms his siblings

* Physically violent with pets

If he has no siblings, he or she continuously complains about his teachers and the way he is treated by them. You may be frequently called to the school and get reports that your child is a bully. When confronted about his bullying, your child will deny it and unless you have proof, such as a recording caught on a CCTV camera, there is no way out for the child. If you show the tape of his physical or verbal taunting of other school children, be prepared for tons of excuses.

How to Help Your Child

With proof from the CCTV camera, be on guard. Getting angry with your child will only make matters worse. If you can get the recording of caught on CCTV camera, replay it and ask him if the whole episode makes him feel good about himself. Point the physical violence heaped on the victim, and then ask him what he would do if he were the victim instead of the bully. Also, ask if the bullying were done to him repeatedly, how would he feel?

Try to find out if there are things bothering your child to get to the root cause of bullying. Explain what is right and what is wrong when dealing or socializing with other children. If the bullying persists, seek professional help for your child. You do not want another bullying episode caught on CCTV camera, do you? But more importantly, you want your child to be a well-adjusted adult in the future.
