Press Release Summary = Free Online Form Could Increase Parent, Teacher Liability


Press Release Body = VANCOUVER, CANADA (July 25th, 2006) Documatica Legal Forms Inc.
has
announced the release of a novel legal kit designed specifically for
victims of schoolyard bullying. The kit, which features logs to record
bullying events, and an online form to convert the records into a legal
Notice of Harassment, is customizable for any common law jurisdiction in
the United States and Canada. The forms will be freely available to the
public at www.documatica-forms.com/bullying.

\"Every week, we hear about tragedies occurring as a result of
bullying,\" says Christie Foreman, Legal Writer. \"It\'s time for us to stop these
events before they start, by making sure that parents and schools know
the bullying is happening.\" The notice, designed to be served to the
bully\'s principal, teachers, and parents, summarizes the bully\'s actions
and correlates them with violations of criminal or civil law. Upon
delivery, the recipient is obligated to address the situation, or face
increased liability for the bully\'s behavior. Currently, 47 states and
several Canadian provinces have some form of parental liability
legislation in place.

\"This kit is revolutionary, in that it provides a much-needed legal and
political recourse for victims of severe harassment and their
families.\" says Jeff Dare, Manager of Product Promotion. \"If we can help just
one family, it will be worth the effort,\" he adds.

Current statistics indicate that bullying in North American schools is
occurring at an alarming frequency. It is estimated that 30% of U.S.
students in grades six to ten are involved in bullying, either as
victims or aggressors, and 60% witness bullying at least once a day.
Furthermore, a study by the U.S. Department of Education found that 75% of
school shootings occur as violent reactions to bullying. In the long term,
several sources report that bullying can lead to mental health
problems, anxiety, depression, and even suicide.

The Notice of Harassment form is the most recent addition to
Documatica\'s rapidly expanding legal document selection, which already
includes a residential lease agreement, bill of sale, promissory note,
and several others. The company hopes that the notice will provide a
valuable public resource, and also serve to showcase its website\'s
unique ability to generate customized legal forms in PDF format.
