Bullying talk brings out concerns


KENNEBUNK — Frustrated parents vented their anger over the amount of abusive behavior among Kennebunk's students at a presentation on bullying Sept. 11
"There's a problem in this town and it's being ignored," one mother told the school administrators present.

Another mother challenged RSU 21 Assistant Superintendent Sara Zito to "step up and implement some programs."

Her wish had already been partially granted by that evening's program. Lynn Lyons, a psychotherapist in Concord, N.H., spoke to the public in the Kennebunk Elementary School gym after spending a full day working with students and teachers at the elementary, middle school and high school levels. About three dozen people attended the 5:30 p.m. session, most of them mothers of middle-schoolers.
