🎨 Salvador Jiménez-Flores: Raíces & Resistencias (Roots & Resistances)
Now on view at Grounds For Sculpture from September 28, 2025, to August 1, 2027, this powerful exhibition brings together sculpture, installation, mural, and ceramic work exploring migration, cultural hybridity, memory, and resilience. Through layered visual storytelling, Jiménez-Flores traces his own multi-generational migration story while engaging broader narratives of colonization, labor, and borderlands. Works like Memoria, Tierra, Trabajo: A Glimpse of the Semiquincentennial stretch across an 80-foot wall, while outdoor sculptures such as La resistencia de los nopales híbridos: El Susurro del Desierto and Caminantes animate the landscape with hybrid forms that speak to adaptation, survival, and hope. The exhibition invites visitors to reflect on the interwoven histories of place, identity, and movement—and to imagine new ways of belonging.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning. You're listening to Insight, a show about empowering
our community. I'm Lorraine Baller. Tomorrow. Have you ever been bullied?
Middle school was the worst for me. I was new
in town, younger than my classmates, and dressed like a kid.
One girl was relentless until one day she attacked me
as I was getting on the school bus. With the
(00:20):
school's intervention and my mom's help updating my wardrobe, I
came out stronger, but I'll never forget that painful time.
I can't imagine facing the experience today, with social media,
deep fakes and all the digital tools bullies now use.
We'll talk for the author of a book on bullying
and learn about the upcoming Breaking the Bully Cycle hosted
(00:41):
by Child Guidance Resource Centers. Looking for a job in
Social Services APM is hosting a job there and we'll
share all the details. But first, Salvador Jimenez Flores's Risis
and Resistentias is on view at the Grounds for Sculpture
from now until August of twenty twenty seven, bringing together sculpture, installation,
(01:04):
mural and ceramic work to explore migration, memory and resilience.
Thank you so much for joining us here today, and
I wonder if you can tell us, Salvador, how did
you arrive at the title Raises and Resistansius for this exhibition?
In what ways do you roots and resistances interact in
this body of work?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Hi, thank you for having me over. And when we
were planning the exhibition, we knew that there was going
to be a few sculptures that were going to be
outside along with some works inside the gallery, so we
were looking for a title that can cover all of
the work. So Raises Resistancias made sense in the sense
(01:49):
that it kind of like paps into the different types
of works that I have available here. So that's how
we came out to the title.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Well, the Ground for Sculpture is magnificent. Anyone who hasn't
been there really needs to check it out. It's not
that far from Philadelphia and the exhibition is installed both
indoors and outdoors at Grounds for Sculpture. How did the
specific site architecture and landscape because it's just a magnificent
ground and formed the placement of works like Memoria Tierra
(02:20):
Trabajo and the hybrid Cactus sculptures.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Thinking about the grounds when you know, I did a
few visits a ground for sculptures, and we walk around
and looked at the different spaces that were available. I think,
you know, keeping in mind the size of the sculpture,
the shape, the orientation, the hierarchy points. So after several visits,
(02:45):
you know, we landed on kind of like what I think,
it's the perfect spot for the sculpture. There was already
like an existence sculpture there, and the trees kind of
created like a circle around the sculpture. So I thought
I would take that to my advantage and utilize that
structure and design kind of like a pyramid base like
(03:09):
for the main sculpture, and the trees already are growing
around this circle. So we definitely wanted to create an
experience for the viewer, so we also added like a
path so the viewers can come in and see the
sculpture and the you know, in the round.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
I think that's what's so interesting and unique about the
grounds for sculpture, and that the sculpture's placements can really
be integrated with the landscape of that magnificent location. Now,
your family's multi generational migration story is woven into this show.
How do you balance the personal and the collective when
(03:48):
creating works that address broader migratory histories.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I think a good example of that work is the
Memoria A gleans up of the sam Quen Centennial. And
for that one, this is a mural that is eighty
feet by forty feet roughly, and it's made out out
of clay pigments, so it's just a clay mural. And
(04:15):
for this one, the challenge that I wanted to embrace
was the shape of the wall. The shape of the
wall is kind of like it looks like an accordion
in a way. So I was inspired by the you know,
pre Columbium codeses and I wanted to embrace that shape.
So it has like different scenes of kind of like
(04:36):
my family history, but also once again a glimpse of
this up coming two one hundred and fifty years of
the birth of the United States. So in that woven
into that mural, there are a few stories based on
my family migration story. The first one is how my
(04:58):
great great grandfather help build the railroads in the Midwest,
so you see kind of like a railroad in perspective
going into the mural. And then there's also like the
United Farmers Workers logo and symbol which also represents how
my dad was part of the Rossetto program. And then
(05:18):
also in part of the neural there is like a
truck with NAFTA, which is also a representation on why
I ended up migrating to the States with my family
and how that you know, these three different political or
work permits negotiations you know, shape my family history, but
(05:39):
also kind of makes us think about how migration in
the Americas has been ongoing, you know, for millennia before
we started drawing lines, you know, between these countries.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
While many of the themes in Rises and Resistancias deal
with exclusion, violence, and struggle, there's also so an orientation
towards hope and resilience. What do you hope visitors carry
with them after engaging with this show?
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Thank you for that question. I think the main thing
that I want people to come out out of this
exhibition is for just to reflect on their own migration story.
I think it's so easy for people to forget and
get comfortable and forget that their family or families also
came from somewhere, and even you know, if it's not
(06:29):
like their immediate family, maybe like their grandparents or great
grandparents and the reason why I want them to reflect
on their own migration story is especially to develop more
a better sense of empathy towards the immigrant community in
our present day, right, we have had different groups and
(06:49):
those groups have been targeted at different points. So I
just want people to reflect on that and how at
some point, like their own families were looked down upon
software injustices and they also struggle, they were also resilient.
So I really want them to almost put a mirror
on them and kind of reflect on their own resiliency,
(07:12):
struggles and migration histories.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Yeah. Well, at the end of the day, we are
all immigrants in this country and to be able to
provide an opportunity and a platform to create more empathy
is something that is vitally needed right now. I want
to thank you so much for joining us here. Today
is Salvador Jimenez Flores. His Races a Resistancias, Roots and
(07:35):
Resistances is on view at Grounds for Sculpture from now
until August of twenty twenty seven, which brings together sculpture, installation,
mural and ceramic work to explore migration, cultural hybridity, memory
and resistance. Thank you so much, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
You said you'd never buy your kid candy from the
checkout aisle or forget extra diapers, and never give into
a meltdown. You'd never lick your thumb to clean their face,
never let them have too much green time, and never
bribe them for just one more bite. You say you'd
(08:21):
never let them out in public without their hair brush,
never ever become a minivan mom, and you'd never give
them your phone for a quiet dinner.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Calling boss work phone.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
So when you say you'd never leave your child in
a hot car, no, it can happen. Cars get hot fast,
and kids can be at risk in temperatures as low
as sixty degrees fahrenheit. Never happens before you leave the car.

What is dedication?
Speaker 6 (15:40):
The thing that drives me every day? As dad is Farriana,
we call him data for sure. Every day he's hungry
for something whether it's attention, affection, knowledge, and there's this
huge responsibility in making sure that when he's no longer
under my wing, that he's a good person. I think
(16:02):
the advice I would give is you don't need to
know all the answers. The craziest thing was believing that
your dad knew everything. So as a dad, you felt
like you had to know everything, You had to get
everything right. It's okay to make mistakes as long as
it's coming from love. Then you know it kind of
starts to work itself out. I want him to be
(16:23):
able to sit back one day and.
Speaker 7 (16:24):
Go, we worked together. We did a good job.

Bullying remains a widespread issue, affecting millions of children and
teens every year, both in schools and online. The rise
of social media has intensified the problem, allowing bullying to
follow victims and beyond the classroom through cyber bullying. We're
going to be talking about breaking the bully cycle, an
upcoming event hosted by the Child Guidance Resource Centers as
(17:07):
part of National Bullying Prevention Month. Joining us right now
is Lawana Scale's director of Advocacy for the Child Guidance
Resource Center, and doctor Claudia Cerulo, a nationally recognized expert
on bullying prevention, an educator, and author Inside the Mind
of a Bully, From victim to advocate. So I want
to thank you both for joining us here today. We're
(17:29):
going to talk about this event, but first talk to you,
doctor Cerulo. You've spent years studying and addressing bullying. What
inspired you to dedicate your life to this work?
Speaker 9 (17:39):
You know, sadly, I came to this country in nineteen
seventy six, and I was a victim to bullying simply
because I was an immigrant. And it's interesting that who
would have thought thirty six years later that we would
have this really progressive and pervasive public health issue affecting many, many,
many more immigrants from you know, all over the world
(18:01):
that are subjected simply because of their ethnicity, because of
their race, because of where they're from. And what inspired
me is that I was fine in elementary school. The
trauma really turned more detrimental when I got into middle school,
you know, really looking at sixth grade and my parents
were really steadfast on me, illustrating respect and providing me
(18:26):
enough in terms of clothing and what I needed in
necessities to go to school. The problem is that I
was a really impoverished, you know, young Italian boy and
essentially got to middle school and then all of a sudden,
I was really thrown multitude of ethnic slurs. I was
called a guinea, a dago, and a wop, and I
(18:47):
really didn't even understand what they were because in the
Italian community, in Italian culture, in Italy, they don't exist.
When I would walk down the hallway, it was simply, hey,
cloud o, how did your dago? And I didn't. I said, oh, fine,
how were you? And the daygo? And mine was fine?
And I didn't really put two and two together that
until you know some years later that a dago would
(19:07):
be paid during the era of Italian immigration. How you
would be paid. If you had a good day, you
had a good day. If you did a bad day,
you would not be paid. So that kind of turned
into real more violence. As I was walking home from
a six block radius, kids decided to throw rocks at
my face and shattered my nose, shattered my front teeth.
I threw my bloody clothes away, never told my parents
(19:30):
because I know my father it would be worse, and
I just kind of kept it internal, just like many
kids today do. And my nose crew like a big
ski slope, didn't apply. Ice didn't know much about I
was afraid. I was afraid of retaliation from the home front, really,
and it kind of started the journey on really kind
of saying when I got older that I would you
(19:52):
come up with some plan to really tackle this issue.
Unbeknownst to me that the Internet would grow and we
are on more of the cyber end of things that
are really taken in lives of many in our country
on so many levels which we can get in.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Well, we'll get back to that in just a moment,
but I'd like to check in with Lawana to talk
about the event breaking the Bully Cycle that's happening on Tuesday,
October twenty ninth. Tell us what can people expect when
they attend this event.
Speaker 10 (20:24):
Event will be held at the Kelly Center, which is
on for East Eagle Road in Howardtown, Pennsylvania, and doctor
Sirilla will be our keynote speaker, and in addition to that,
we will have a panel that will consist of experts
that include doctor Donna Laundry, who's education and youth development specialist,
(20:46):
Christina Carter, director of Learning Assessment for Having for Township,
Benjamin Hover, whose legislative representative and director of Community Engagement
for Philadolphia Federation of Teachers, Autumn DeJong who is a
clinician at CDRC, and Maria Separati who is the music
director for Acting Without Boundaries. In addition to that panel,
(21:10):
we will have a performance by Acting Without Boundaries of
their members who are made up of young adults and
youth who have disability challenges of their own. This is
a free event. It will be on Wednesday, the twenty ninth,
from six to eight.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Doctor Cirilo, you wrote a book called Inside the Mind
of a Bully, which explores both the victim and the
aggressor's perspective. What are some of the most common MISK
perceptions people have about bullying.
Speaker 9 (21:41):
It's really not a major issue, and that most good
old boys will say, let kids fight it out, take
self defense classes. They're not understanding that the roots of
bullying is not a mirror line CNN tag from two
thousand and six. It is deep rooted in the pervasive
(22:02):
issue of mental health and lack thereof, and that goes
to the surface of P. Twelve and then the sixteen Council,
which includes post secondary that we're looking at. Suicide. You know,
it used to be the fourth leading cause. The CDC
has now classified this second leading cause among our teams.
And now when you add the multitude of cyber harassment,
(22:26):
which includes deep fakes and AI, it's affecting not only
young people but certainly adults. And it's adults that prey
on anyone that they feel or a celebrity or a
politician if they feel there's some type of retribution. And
if you look at the issue of bullying from a
federal platform or tax force, it goes into what we've
(22:49):
seen in the last several weeks of political violence, this separation.
Whether you're a Democrat or Republican or independent, it really
doesn't matter. There's this retalia tour re side of it
that I'm going to come after you in some way,
shape or form. So I want to note that when
people think just bullying, it goes into child molestation, elderly victimization,
(23:13):
domestic violence. The criteria I can box it into whatever
I want it's going to be the same. But most
adults say bullying, they think children, it's not. It really
rises to a higher level and it includes adults and
obviously even includes senior population because of victimization. And when
I say that I'm looking at something, it's simply social
(23:35):
security scams, solid security disability scams. So when we look
at this frequent duration power base that they can prey
on someone, you really are looking at bullying. And it's
not just physical. It takes on a multitude of a
social and emotional background as well.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Doctor Civilla, I think that we talk about bullying and
a lot of folks feel really helpless to do anything
about it. And certainly they advent of the Internet and
social media, et cetera. All the things that you mentioned
have increased the severity of this situation. The bulie have
more tools to work with. So what are some key
(24:13):
takeaways that you would suggest for people who are either
experiencing bullying or maybe the parents or trying to figure out, well,
what do I do? Because we see so many instances
of bullying lead to people ending their lives. What would
you say?
Speaker 9 (24:29):
I think the first thing is when there is an
event that's hosted by Child Guidance, take advantage of that.
That's first and foremost they're offering a resource. And interestingly enough,
when I had met my wife years ago, she had
a child on the all business spectrum and she had
come to a workshop I did with children with hidden
disabilities and that are victimized in their district because of bullying,
(24:53):
and she says, I had don't know where to turn.
I have no help, no support. Really, no one focuses
just simply on on the issue. But really from an
advocacy standpoint, to address your question is know that there
is some support Number one. Number two. When you have
the support, I will take you through all of the
documented stages of that, which is really the advocacy portion
(25:16):
of it, documentation portion of it, understanding the legislative portion,
because in our tri state area here, Pennsylvania is the
only one that doesn't have real hard legislation onlike New
Jersey and unlike Delaware, even Connecticut has legislation. So knowing
that you have to have some type of advocacy support
from a legislative and who to talk to and how
(25:38):
to file on harassment or an intimidation or bullying complaint
really knowing who to speak to, from the child's teacher
to the child's administrator, to the school board, and then
looking and working with the law enforcement community is really
essential when understanding victimization. And from there, what the parents
need to know really is the language. And really the language,
(26:00):
and I say this candidly, whether gang members, organized criminals,
teens have their own language, how they speak to each
other on and off the Internet and on and off
cyber realms and platforms. They do that intentionally so that
educators and those in mental health don't understand what they're
really communicating about. And certainly the parent at home that's

Good morning. You're listening to Insight, a show about empowering
our community. I'm Lorraine Baller. Tomorrow. Have you ever been bullied?
Middle school was the worst for me. I was new
in town, younger than my classmates, and dressed like a kid.
One girl was relentless until one day she attacked me
as I was getting on the school bus. With the
(00:20):
school's intervention and my mom's help updating my wardrobe, I
came out stronger, but I'll never forget that painful time.
I can't imagine facing the experience today, with social media,
deep fakes and all the digital tools bullies now use.
We'll talk for the author of a book on bullying
and learn about the upcoming Breaking the Bully Cycle hosted
(00:41):
by Child Guidance Resource Centers. Looking for a job in
Social Services APM is hosting a job there and we'll
share all the details. But first, Salvador Jimenez Flores's Risis
and Resistentias is on view at the Grounds for Sculpture
from now until August of twenty twenty seven, bringing together sculpture, installation,
(01:04):
mural and ceramic work to explore migration, memory and resilience.
Thank you so much for joining us here today, and
I wonder if you can tell us, Salvador, how did
you arrive at the title Raises and Resistansius for this exhibition?
In what ways do you roots and resistances interact in
this body of work?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Hi, thank you for having me over. And when we
were planning the exhibition, we knew that there was going
to be a few sculptures that were going to be
outside along with some works inside the gallery, so we
were looking for a title that can cover all of
the work. So Raises Resistancias made sense in the sense
(01:49):
that it kind of like paps into the different types
of works that I have available here. So that's how
we came out to the title.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Well, the Ground for Sculpture is magnificent. Anyone who hasn't
been there really needs to check it out. It's not
that far from Philadelphia and the exhibition is installed both
indoors and outdoors at Grounds for Sculpture. How did the
specific site architecture and landscape because it's just a magnificent
ground and formed the placement of works like Memoria Tierra
(02:20):
Trabajo and the hybrid Cactus sculptures.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Thinking about the grounds when you know, I did a
few visits a ground for sculptures, and we walk around
and looked at the different spaces that were available. I think,
you know, keeping in mind the size of the sculpture,
the shape, the orientation, the hierarchy points. So after several visits,
(02:45):
you know, we landed on kind of like what I think,
it's the perfect spot for the sculpture. There was already
like an existence sculpture there, and the trees kind of
created like a circle around the sculpture. So I thought
I would take that to my advantage and utilize that
structure and design kind of like a pyramid base like
(03:09):
for the main sculpture, and the trees already are growing
around this circle. So we definitely wanted to create an
experience for the viewer, so we also added like a
path so the viewers can come in and see the
sculpture and the you know, in the round.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
I think that's what's so interesting and unique about the
grounds for sculpture, and that the sculpture's placements can really
be integrated with the landscape of that magnificent location. Now,
your family's multi generational migration story is woven into this show.
How do you balance the personal and the collective when
(03:48):
creating works that address broader migratory histories.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I think a good example of that work is the
Memoria A gleans up of the sam Quen Centennial. And
for that one, this is a mural that is eighty
feet by forty feet roughly, and it's made out out
of clay pigments, so it's just a clay mural. And
(04:15):
for this one, the challenge that I wanted to embrace
was the shape of the wall. The shape of the
wall is kind of like it looks like an accordion
in a way. So I was inspired by the you know,
pre Columbium codeses and I wanted to embrace that shape.
So it has like different scenes of kind of like
(04:36):
my family history, but also once again a glimpse of
this up coming two one hundred and fifty years of
the birth of the United States. So in that woven
into that mural, there are a few stories based on
my family migration story. The first one is how my
(04:58):
great great grandfather help build the railroads in the Midwest,
so you see kind of like a railroad in perspective
going into the mural. And then there's also like the
United Farmers Workers logo and symbol which also represents how
my dad was part of the Rossetto program. And then
(05:18):
also in part of the neural there is like a
truck with NAFTA, which is also a representation on why
I ended up migrating to the States with my family
and how that you know, these three different political or
work permits negotiations you know, shape my family history, but
(05:39):
also kind of makes us think about how migration in
the Americas has been ongoing, you know, for millennia before
we started drawing lines, you know, between these countries.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
While many of the themes in Rises and Resistancias deal
with exclusion, violence, and struggle, there's also so an orientation
towards hope and resilience. What do you hope visitors carry
with them after engaging with this show?
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Thank you for that question. I think the main thing
that I want people to come out out of this
exhibition is for just to reflect on their own migration story.
I think it's so easy for people to forget and
get comfortable and forget that their family or families also
came from somewhere, and even you know, if it's not
(06:29):
like their immediate family, maybe like their grandparents or great
grandparents and the reason why I want them to reflect
on their own migration story is especially to develop more
a better sense of empathy towards the immigrant community in
our present day, right, we have had different groups and
(06:49):
those groups have been targeted at different points. So I
just want people to reflect on that and how at
some point, like their own families were looked down upon
software injustices and they also struggle, they were also resilient.
So I really want them to almost put a mirror
on them and kind of reflect on their own resiliency,
(07:12):
struggles and migration histories.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Yeah. Well, at the end of the day, we are
all immigrants in this country and to be able to
provide an opportunity and a platform to create more empathy
is something that is vitally needed right now. I want
to thank you so much for joining us here. Today
is Salvador Jimenez Flores. His Races a Resistancias, Roots and
(07:35):
Resistances is on view at Grounds for Sculpture from now
until August of twenty twenty seven, which brings together sculpture, installation,
mural and ceramic work to explore migration, cultural hybridity, memory
and resistance. Thank you so much, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
You said you'd never buy your kid candy from the
checkout aisle or forget extra diapers, and never give into
a meltdown. You'd never lick your thumb to clean their face,
never let them have too much green time, and never
bribe them for just one more bite. You say you'd
(08:21):
never let them out in public without their hair brush,
never ever become a minivan mom, and you'd never give
them your phone for a quiet dinner.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Calling boss work phone.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
So when you say you'd never leave your child in
a hot car, no, it can happen. Cars get hot fast,
and kids can be at risk in temperatures as low
as sixty degrees fahrenheit. Never happens before you leave the car.

The thing that drives me every day? As dad is Farriana,
we call him data for sure. Every day he's hungry
for something whether it's attention, affection, knowledge, and there's this
huge responsibility in making sure that when he's no longer
under my wing, that he's a good person. I think
(16:02):
the advice I would give is you don't need to
know all the answers. The craziest thing was believing that
your dad knew everything. So as a dad, you felt
like you had to know everything, You had to get
everything right. It's okay to make mistakes as long as
it's coming from love. Then you know it kind of
starts to work itself out. I want him to be
(16:23):

Speaker 1 (16:44):
Bullying remains a widespread issue, affecting millions of children and
teens every year, both in schools and online. The rise
of social media has intensified the problem, allowing bullying to
follow victims and beyond the classroom through cyber bullying. We're
going to be talking about breaking the bully cycle, an
upcoming event hosted by the Child Guidance Resource Centers as
(17:07):
part of National Bullying Prevention Month. Joining us right now
is Lawana Scale's director of Advocacy for the Child Guidance
Resource Center, and doctor Claudia Cerulo, a nationally recognized expert
on bullying prevention, an educator, and author Inside the Mind
of a Bully, From victim to advocate. So I want
to thank you both for joining us here today. We're
(17:29):
going to talk about this event, but first talk to you,
doctor Cerulo. You've spent years studying and addressing bullying. What
inspired you to dedicate your life to this work?
Speaker 9 (17:39):
You know, sadly, I came to this country in nineteen
seventy six, and I was a victim to bullying simply
because I was an immigrant. And it's interesting that who
would have thought thirty six years later that we would
have this really progressive and pervasive public health issue affecting many, many,
many more immigrants from you know, all over the world
(18:01):
that are subjected simply because of their ethnicity, because of
their race, because of where they're from. And what inspired
me is that I was fine in elementary school. The
trauma really turned more detrimental when I got into middle school,
you know, really looking at sixth grade and my parents
were really steadfast on me, illustrating respect and providing me
(18:26):
enough in terms of clothing and what I needed in
necessities to go to school. The problem is that I
was a really impoverished, you know, young Italian boy and
essentially got to middle school and then all of a sudden,
I was really thrown multitude of ethnic slurs. I was
called a guinea, a dago, and a wop, and I
(18:47):
really didn't even understand what they were because in the
Italian community, in Italian culture, in Italy, they don't exist.
When I would walk down the hallway, it was simply, hey,
cloud o, how did your dago? And I didn't. I said, oh, fine,
how were you? And the daygo? And mine was fine?
And I didn't really put two and two together that
until you know some years later that a dago would
(19:07):
be paid during the era of Italian immigration. How you
would be paid. If you had a good day, you
had a good day. If you did a bad day,
you would not be paid. So that kind of turned
into real more violence. As I was walking home from
a six block radius, kids decided to throw rocks at
my face and shattered my nose, shattered my front teeth.
I threw my bloody clothes away, never told my parents
(19:30):
because I know my father it would be worse, and
I just kind of kept it internal, just like many
kids today do. And my nose crew like a big
ski slope, didn't apply. Ice didn't know much about I
was afraid. I was afraid of retaliation from the home front, really,
and it kind of started the journey on really kind
of saying when I got older that I would you
(19:52):
come up with some plan to really tackle this issue.
Unbeknownst to me that the Internet would grow and we
are on more of the cyber end of things that
are really taken in lives of many in our country
on so many levels which we can get in.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Well, we'll get back to that in just a moment,
but I'd like to check in with Lawana to talk
about the event breaking the Bully Cycle that's happening on Tuesday,
October twenty ninth. Tell us what can people expect when
they attend this event.
Speaker 10 (20:24):
Event will be held at the Kelly Center, which is
on for East Eagle Road in Howardtown, Pennsylvania, and doctor
Sirilla will be our keynote speaker, and in addition to that,
we will have a panel that will consist of experts
that include doctor Donna Laundry, who's education and youth development specialist,
(20:46):
Christina Carter, director of Learning Assessment for Having for Township,
Benjamin Hover, whose legislative representative and director of Community Engagement
for Philadolphia Federation of Teachers, Autumn DeJong who is a
clinician at CDRC, and Maria Separati who is the music
director for Acting Without Boundaries. In addition to that panel,
(21:10):
we will have a performance by Acting Without Boundaries of
their members who are made up of young adults and
youth who have disability challenges of their own. This is
a free event. It will be on Wednesday, the twenty ninth,
from six to eight.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Doctor Cirilo, you wrote a book called Inside the Mind
of a Bully, which explores both the victim and the
aggressor's perspective. What are some of the most common MISK
perceptions people have about bullying.
Speaker 9 (21:41):
It's really not a major issue, and that most good
old boys will say, let kids fight it out, take
self defense classes. They're not understanding that the roots of
bullying is not a mirror line CNN tag from two
thousand and six. It is deep rooted in the pervasive
(22:02):
issue of mental health and lack thereof, and that goes
to the surface of P. Twelve and then the sixteen Council,
which includes post secondary that we're looking at. Suicide. You know,
it used to be the fourth leading cause. The CDC
has now classified this second leading cause among our teams.
And now when you add the multitude of cyber harassment,
(22:26):
which includes deep fakes and AI, it's affecting not only
young people but certainly adults. And it's adults that prey
on anyone that they feel or a celebrity or a
politician if they feel there's some type of retribution. And
if you look at the issue of bullying from a
federal platform or tax force, it goes into what we've
(22:49):
seen in the last several weeks of political violence, this separation.
Whether you're a Democrat or Republican or independent, it really
doesn't matter. There's this retalia tour re side of it
that I'm going to come after you in some way,
shape or form. So I want to note that when
people think just bullying, it goes into child molestation, elderly victimization,
(23:13):
domestic violence. The criteria I can box it into whatever
I want it's going to be the same. But most
adults say bullying, they think children, it's not. It really
rises to a higher level and it includes adults and
obviously even includes senior population because of victimization. And when
I say that I'm looking at something, it's simply social
(23:35):
security scams, solid security disability scams. So when we look
at this frequent duration power base that they can prey
on someone, you really are looking at bullying. And it's
not just physical. It takes on a multitude of a
social and emotional background as well.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Doctor Civilla, I think that we talk about bullying and
a lot of folks feel really helpless to do anything
about it. And certainly they advent of the Internet and
social media, et cetera. All the things that you mentioned
have increased the severity of this situation. The bulie have
more tools to work with. So what are some key
(24:13):
takeaways that you would suggest for people who are either
experiencing bullying or maybe the parents or trying to figure out, well,
what do I do? Because we see so many instances
of bullying lead to people ending their lives. What would
you say?
Speaker 9 (24:29):
I think the first thing is when there is an
event that's hosted by Child Guidance, take advantage of that.
That's first and foremost they're offering a resource. And interestingly enough,
when I had met my wife years ago, she had
a child on the all business spectrum and she had
come to a workshop I did with children with hidden
disabilities and that are victimized in their district because of bullying,
(24:53):
and she says, I had don't know where to turn.
I have no help, no support. Really, no one focuses
just simply on on the issue. But really from an
advocacy standpoint, to address your question is know that there
is some support Number one. Number two. When you have
the support, I will take you through all of the
documented stages of that, which is really the advocacy portion
(25:16):
of it, documentation portion of it, understanding the legislative portion,
because in our tri state area here, Pennsylvania is the
only one that doesn't have real hard legislation onlike New
Jersey and unlike Delaware, even Connecticut has legislation. So knowing
that you have to have some type of advocacy support
from a legislative and who to talk to and how
(25:38):
to file on harassment or an intimidation or bullying complaint
really knowing who to speak to, from the child's teacher
to the child's administrator, to the school board, and then
looking and working with the law enforcement community is really
essential when understanding victimization. And from there, what the parents
need to know really is the language. And really the language,
(26:00):
and I say this candidly, whether gang members, organized criminals,
teens have their own language, how they speak to each
other on and off the Internet and on and off
cyber realms and platforms. They do that intentionally so that
educators and those in mental health don't understand what they're
really communicating about. And certainly the parent at home that's
(26:21):
got a little naivete that says, I have no idea
speak English because I don't know what you're saying. Well, Mom, dad,
I'm doing that on purpose because I don't really want
you to know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Right Lawana. Just to remind us, if people would like
to know more about this event that's happening breaking the
Bully Cycle sponsored by the Child Guidance Resource Centers, how
