LORAIN COUNTY, Ohio — A Lorain County mother is fighting to raise awareness about the impact of bullying in schools after she said her children experienced months of harassment.

Valencia Adams says her North Ridgeville kindergartner and second grader were bullied, prompting her to create a support system for other families facing similar challenges.

"My son's started when he came home, got off the bus, bloody nose, clothes, shoes, said his friend had head-butted him in the nose," Adams said. "Following the nose fracture the same child kept harming him physically.”

Adams said her daughter also faced harassment from multiple students.

"She was being assaulted by boys, she was being assaulted by girls, the kids were saying mean things," Adams said.
