Breaking Bullying

My Kids Were Being Bullied at School… Here’s What We Did

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 06:00:00 -0500

This week on the Breaking Bullying Podcast, I sit down with author and coach Rosie Thames to talk about what happens when bullying does not stop and what parents are forced to do next.

Rosie shares her personal story of both of her children experiencing bullying at school, including physical incidents, emotional impact, and the frustration of feeling like the school was not acting fast enough. We also talk about the difficult decision to remove a child from an environment where they no longer feel safe.

If your child is being bullied at school, this episode gives you a real look at what that experience can be like and what steps you may need to consider as a parent.

Domestic Violence Warning Signs: How Abuse Often Begins

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 06:00:00 -0500

Domestic violence rarely begins with violence. It often begins with control.

In this episode of the Breaking Bullying Podcast, Tim Flynn speaks with women's wellness coach Doreen Alvarez, who shares her powerful personal story about manipulation, stalking, and domestic abuse.

What started as persistence and charm slowly turned into intimidation, threats, and eventually physical violence.

Doreen opens up about the warning signs she experienced, how abusers manipulate and isolate their victims, and why it can be incredibly difficult for victims to escape abusive relationships.

In this episode we discuss:

• Early warning signs of domestic violence

• How manipulation and control develop in relationships

• Why victims can feel trapped or afraid to leave

• The psychological impact of abuse

• Why asking for help is so important

Understanding the early warning signs of abuse can help people recognize dangerous situations before they escalate.

The Student then the Parent - 2 perspectives on in school bullying

Thu, 08 Jun 2023 06:00:00 -0500

This week on KCB, it's a double dose of how in school bullying affects you.

We start with the Student. Jay Putty is a successful and talented musician who back in his school days was bullied so badly, he ended up in the emergency room with head trauma. Jay shares his story of the bullying, the abuse and the school district neglect and how he overcame it all.

Then we follow that up with a parent's tale. Colleen Bidwell is your normal caring mother living somewhere in the Mankato Minnesota area, just trying to raise her kids. Her young daughter had caught the ire of one of her classmates, and this has led to a multi year saga of continued emotional torture that almost seems endorsed by the school.

Can you spot the running theme between the two stories?

Colleen is a private individual but she is interested in finding like minded parents going through similar situations to her and has asked us to act as an intermediary. So if you would like to contact her, email us at karatechopbullying@gmail.com & we will put you in contact to her.

Jay Putty can be found on Instagram & TikTok

Thu, 18 May 2023 06:00:00 -0500

In this episode of Karate Chop Bullying, Bruce and Tim are joined by licensed clinical social worker Fiona Swanson to help us define the term 'Bullying."

In the course of this episode, you will learn to recognize the difference between Rude, Mean, Harassment, and Bullying. We will go over effective strategies to help keep our children safe from cyberbullying, learn how to recognize bullying, and how to effectively communicate with our children if we suspect they are being bullied.

We also discuss the tragic case of Myles Fitzpatrick.

It's a major problem in just about every society. Bullying is on the rise and many people you know, if not yourself have experienced it firsthand. From children at school being teased or attacked in the hallways, to adults in toxic workplaces, Bullying affects many people, who often feel isolated and without help. We want to change that.

Karate Chop Bullying is an extension Tim Flynn's outreach program on Bullying and Bullying prevention. Tim himself was a victim of bullying throughout his school life, an experience which almost made him take his own life but instead led him to a life of martial arts dedication and childhood education. He has helped his students become confident well round people and now he intends to use his experiences to help others understand and deal with the issue of Bullying.

Weekly we will discuss bullying in the news, interview both victims and experts and provide community. You are not alone, we are here to help.
