Parents stand up By Dominique Tassell Multiple parents have come forward alleging instances of bullying, and claim students who stand up for themselves or fight back against violence are being punished at Warwick State High School. Dozens of parents have anony-

mously revealed details of their children’s distress and blasted the school for penalising students for defending themselves. One parent stated their daughter had a perfect school record that quickly went downhill after she was suspended for defending herself from bullies.
