As a parent or caregiver,

As a parent or caregiver, we often sense when “something feels off.” Show up at your child's dorm or apartment unexpectedly. If there are any of these signs and your gut tells you something is wrong, it probably is. Take your child home and get them the help they need. 

Physical Signs of Hazing

 

  • Mood changes 
  • Exhaustion 
  • Weight change or changes in eating habits 
  • Bruises, burns, any unexplained injury 
  • Decline in personal hygiene 
  • Substance abuse 

Have the conversation with your child and explain hazing.  It may be the first time they hear it.

Conversation Starters

If you think your child is being hazed:

  •  Share Stone’s story with them and ask if anything like what happened to Stone is happening to them or any of their friends. 


  • Reiterate to your child that being asked to do things that make them uncomfortable or that are tests of loyalty in some way, is not okay and to say "No" or walk away.


  • Talk about their feelings and let them know you notice they are not their normal self. 


  • Reassure them their fear of speaking up is normal and that it's okay to tell you anything. Ask if they are feeling pressured to do things they don’t want to do. 


  • Ask what they like most about joining the organization. What is the least thing you like or what has been the hardest? 


  • Telling them you will support them through this and you will figure it out together.
