Jane and Helen (both 12 years of age) have been bullying 10- year-old Johnny at school over the past six months. He has just told his single-parent Dad about it, who has demanded a meeting with the school principal and the two girls. The Principal, Mrs. Jimmet, has asked Jonathan, a trained mediator who is in grade 8 at the same school, to run the session with her. Also in attendance will be Jane’s mother and Helen’s aunt.
