Well I guess this is the fundamental difference between us on this issue.
 
You like to rely on an outside source like our legal system or the police to protect you from harm. Yeah.... lets add more rules that the bullies will simply break time and time again.....
I on the other hand, prefer to rely on nobody but myself....because sometimes the cops and laws won't be there on time to save you.
 
The kids need to learn to stand up to a bully first and foremost. I think this alone would reduce bullying by quite a bit. If bullying goes to the 
extreme however, then it is time for the parents and maybe the police to step in.
 
Education can make a world of difference.
