Tori Spelling opens up about her kids being bullied at school

Tori Spelling may live a large portion of her life in the public eye, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t a worried mama bear like plenty of other parents out there. In fact, the Beverly Hills 90210 star is quite concerned over the level of bullying her two eldest kids have faced in school so far, and she’s ready to speak out about it.In a passionate Instagram post on February 23 the mother of five opened up about Stella, 11, and Liam, 12, and how they have “endured enough bullying for a lifetime.” She captioned a sweet throwback photo of her babes as toddlers with a lengthy message that goes into a lot of detail about the experiences her kids have had at two different schools, and the lack of response from the school officials who are supposed to create a safe and fostering learning environment.

My two 1st born... they have been thru so much bullying I can no longer not share and express ourselves - Stella is 11. She was 1 in this pic. Innocent little being that only knew unconditional love, honesty, exploration, & kindness. Her beautiful heart, full of hope. Between her last year at her elementary school or the 1st year at her middle school this human has endured enough bullying for a lifetime. Her old school in Encino, we were told she is acting like “ Patient zero” and “she’s playing the victim” & “ we are talking to the parents of that said bully” and “he is trying to change”. He never did! Never any consequences for his actions towards my daughter and other kids. This child’s parents are on the board of the school. They give a lot of money to this school. Financially, we aren’t able too. So, they won. We then moved kiddos to another school. One, that professed feelings and kindness as a priority. This time, my daughter was bullied so bad ( including comments about her weight and sexual things he said that my daughter didn’t even know about.). This school did the right thing and expelled the boy but the damage had been done. She now associates her education with boys that have been so horrific to her. She wanted to empower others girls and be a business leader. She now has panic attacks and doesn’t want to return to school. This girl, 2 years ago told me she wanted to be President or work to empower women daily. - Liam, my 1st born, is a fiesty funny guy. 2 thumbs up in this pic at 2 years old. He graduated last year from Encino but not without the principal telling us he was “ unmotivated “ & lazy. Poor guy thought from way he was treated by her that he was “stupid”. Beyond not the case. He is a hilarious, smart, outgoing, and a creative kind guy! Then, he started his new middle school. Same school as Stella. He was bullied to the point that he developed severe emotional based headaches and stomach aches. This school ( who did help with Stella’s situation) did not help with Liams. He continued to be bullied so bad we had to leave. Was hesitant to post this bc as celebs we are sometimes judged for having problems others have #worriedmomma

“Stella is 11. She was 1 in this pic. Innocent little being that only knew unconditional love, honesty, exploration, & kindness. Her beautiful heart, full of hope,” she wrote. “Her old school in Encino, we were told she is acting like ‘Patient zero’ and ‘she’s playing the victim’ & ‘we are talking to the parents of that said bully’ and ‘he is trying to change’. He never did! Never any consequences for his actions towards my daughter and other kids. This child’s parents are on the board of the school. They give a lot of money to this school. Financially, we aren’t able too. So, they won.”Spelling then goes on to reveal that she and husband Dean McDermott wound up switching schools to one that made “feelings and kindness” top priorities, but the bad experiences didn’t stop there.“This time, my daughter was bullied so bad ( including comments about her weight and sexual things he said that my daughter didn’t even know about.),” she shared. “This school did the right thing and expelled the boy but the damage had been done. She now associates her education with boys that have been so horrific to her. She wanted to empower others girls and be a business leader. She now has panic attacks and doesn’t want to return to school. This girl, 2 years ago told me she wanted to be President or work to empower women daily.”That sounds like enough worry for a mama to carry in her heart for a lifetime, but Spelling then opened up about how Stella isn’t the only one being bullied; her son Liam has been having similar experiences at the new school, with equally heart-twisting results.“He was bullied to the point that he developed severe emotional based headaches and stomach aches. This school ( who did help with Stella’s situation) did not help with Liams. He continued to be bullied so bad we had to leave. Was hesitant to post this bc as celebs we are sometimes judged for having problems others have ?#worriedmomma,” she wrote.[video_embed id='1816213']RELATED: Tori Spelling was mom-shamed for dyeing her daughter's hair[/video_embed]The 46-year-old received a lot of positive comments and support from the post, but this isn’t the first time her kids have been targeted. Because of Spelling and McDermott’s public personalities, trolls have taken aim at the kiddies before. It was just last year that critics slammed the kids in a reunion photo Spelling posted with Ian Ziering and his clan, where people commented on the children’s clothes and weight. It was enough to make McDermott react with anger.“I am absolutely horrified and disgusted by the comments being left about my children. Body shaming and bullying my children??!! What is wrong with you people??!!” he wrote back at the time.McDermott also lashed out at the trolls after they came out in full force over a sponsored post Spelling shared of her kids snacking on Little Bites muffins last year. In that post, people felt free to comment on the kids’ weight and Spelling’s snack choices, comments that some of her kids actually read. So Papa Bear stepped in again with his own video post, telling the haters that enough is enough already.
