Two parents in Nova Scotia are expressing frustrations regarding what they say is a lack of support for students who are at risk of physical violence and bullying in public schools.
Laura Pellow said her son, who’s in his first year of junior high, was allegedly assaulted by a group of students during school hours last month.
