The author of the award-winning thriller Anybody’s Daughter explores the bullying epidemic and its devastating aftermath.

What Really Goes on Behind School Doors?

When the classroom is no longer a safe space for her child, a grieving mother is determined to seek justice for her bullied daughter. Enter hard-charging attorneys Angela Evans and Jenny Ungerman. From the start, the two lawyers face more than an uphill battle.

An ambitious school principal is far more concerned about protecting her career than getting to the truth. She flat out denies any knowledge of the bullying and prefers to sweep everything under the rug. But just how low will she go?

As the battle enters the courtroom, the attorneys fight hard to expose the truth. But will a massive coverup hinder their quest for justice?

The book kept me interested. The story line tied in perfect with the message/theme. School use to be a place we could trust the teachers, principal, administrators. As a matter of fact their word was the gospel. We are our children only advocate, let’s not fail them.

Great book! Great topic! Great flow!
Talk to your babies. Set an environment that allows them to speak freely.
You can't act if you don't know.
If you are in a position to care for and or nurture a kid, put yourself in the child's place. Ask yourself, how you would like to be protected.

Great book! Great topic! Great flow!

As always Pamela has snatched the blinders off of a subject that plagues every school. children can be so cruel to one another and it is up to not only the parents but the educators who are sworn to protect them.

A warning to the world

This book hits on every point. The writing is well done. The story flows well. The plot is relevant and takes the reader/listener on an emotional rollercoaster ride drawing you into the lives of each character. Plot twists keep you guessing until the end. I highly recommend this novel.
The narrator gave a beautiful performance. He tone was clear and adjusted appropriately for each character.

I was so happy to see a book written by Pamela Samuels Young! It’s been a few years since I’ve listened to anything by her. Since all of her previous books had been narrated by R C Bray, I was a little disappointed that he wasn’t the narrator however I do think Larry Herron did a very good job.
This story is very well written. I felt like it gave me quite a bit of information on this topic as well as providing entertainment. This book is about children dying of suicide and the lengths schools will go to cover their neglect. The publisher’s summary gives more than enough information so I won’t elaborate.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book especially to anyone with young children.
If you found this review helpful please indicate so.
Thank You.

Nothing to dislike! The ending was a twist I didn’t expect. Thought it was going to be the husband.

Bulliside

Pamela Samuels Young had not released a book in 26 months before FAILURE TO PROTECT. In this legal thriller she takes on what she calls bullycide; in this case it's about a 9 year old girl who is being relentlessly bullied at school and on social media kills herself. The school literally does nothing to protect her. The principal is more interested in protecting the reputation of her school than protecting her students. The dead girl''s mother sues and the principal hides evidence.

FAILURE TO PROTECT is about a cause, bullycide, the author has adopted. The subject matter is difficult to listen to.

There are approximately 25 authors that I will read/listen to all books they write. Pamela Samuels Young is one of those authors in my favorites category. I recommend all ten of her novels.

The prior nine novels by Young were narrated by RC Bray who is one of the premier male narrators. Larry Herron, a relatively inexperienced narrator was selected for this novel. He does an outstanding job.

Difficult subject matter handled well
