Parents Deserve To Know began with our family's experiences and the questions that followed.
As parents, we believe children deserve safe, respectful environments where their concerns are heard and taken seriously.
Our experiences with a school and summer camp led us to ask difficult questions about communication, responsibility, transparency, and how concerns are handled.
Rather than keeping those experiences to ourselves, we decided to share our story, the questions we asked, and the responses we received.
Over time, this website has grown beyond our family's experiences. We have added educational resources about bullying, clique culture, workplace violence and harassment, and the importance of speaking up when something isn't right.
Our goal is not to encourage hostility or assign blame. It is to promote awareness, thoughtful discussion, and accountability.
We believe that silence should never be mistaken for acceptance, that raising concerns should not require repeatedly defending them, and that respect should be demonstrated through actions—not just words.
Your Voice Matters
You don't have to agree with us. Different perspectives are welcome, and respectful disagreement is part of meaningful discussion.
When you witness someone being mistreated and remain silent, you become a silent bystander. It takes courage to speak up, and kindness requires courage.
Stand up for those who are mistreated, excluded, or unable to defend themselves. Sometimes the person who needs your support is the one least able to ask for it.
Don't let your voice be sidelined. Speak up, share your perspective, and leave a comment. Together, we can make a difference.
This site shares our family's experiences and supporting material. Readers are encouraged to review the information, ask questions, and reach their own conclusions. Comments made by third parties on external platforms represent those commenters' own views.
