The Story that became Sprigeo:

My son has a broken tooth. Someone threw a soda can at his face today.

I thought I had heard the worst of what bullying could be. I picked up the phone and listened as a complete stranger told me her son's story.

"For the past seven months my son has been bullied at school. Kids throw things at him and call him a loser. He cries and says he doesn't want to go to school. Yesterday he came home with a broken tooth because someone hit him in the face with a soda can. What should I do?"

Just in case you're wondering, as I was, the child from the story above is 12 years old.

What does it take for a complete stranger to call you on the phone and ask for help?

The bottom line: When 160,000 kids skip school every day because they don't feel safe, something needs to change. Doesn't logic dictate that if you don't feel safe you are not prepared to learn?

Enter Sprigeo!

The vision: restore the safe and secure feeling kids want to have when they go to school each day.

Action that leads toward the vision: give kids a voice to talk about bullying, report it in a safe way, without fear of retaliation.

How: For the first time, kids can go to a site (www.Sprigeo.com) at anytime and from anywhere with an internet connection, to send in a report. The report travels instantaneously to the school principal in a secure email.

The meat and potatoes: some schools have a bully reporting system that sends an email, but the trail and accountability ends there. Sprigeo adds another layer of accountability by taking the bully report and dropping into an online database that schools can use to track incidents, note action taken toward resolution, and record follow up incidents.

Kids who bully count on using intimidation and the threat of continued violence to keep their victims from reporting. Sprigeo empowers all kids, the bystanders and the targets, by giving them the ability to report bullying ly. The result: kids who bully don't know who has reported them. Higher accountability leads to less bullying and the school culture begins to change.
