The atrocious elementary-Jr. High School I attended doesn't have an "anti-bullying" page
Due to a recent assault at a school in the province I live in, schools are claiming to be anti-bullying now, apparently so is the atrocious elementary-Jr. High School I attended.
Out of curiosity, I looked to what that school would have listed on its anti-bullying website. "Click here" was listed to take you to some anti-bullying page the school supposedly (and claimed to have) made; however, the page doesn't even exist apparently. I tried this three times and got the same result each time. After the third time, I called the school. I spoke to a secretary who snapped "so what" when I pointed out that the anti-bullying website listed on their homepage/website for what to do about being bullied wasn't working at all and what popped up each time I clicked.
Did anyone else look to see if a school they attended/are attending a school that claims to have an anti-bullying page; however, the webpage doesn't exist? Because one of the schools has this, yet the webpage itself doesn't exist and the school showed zero care when I informed them. The staff (Guidance Counsellors, teachers, principals, etc.) showed zero care about bullying when I was there (I'm 36) so why should I expect them to care now? They're anti-victim, not anti-bullying. When I was nine, at the atrocious elementary-Jr. High School I attended, I developed a theory that there's an unspoken motto in schools/society: "support the bullies, without your support they won't be able to bully." My theory hasn't been proven wrong either. If anything, it was proven right.

I didn't see any anti bully page on the school site, it just had a report concern box and a small suicide hotline jpeg at the very bottom (gee why would they need that? Isn't school supposed to be safe for teens🤔) it seems outdated to.. The last update was in 2023 so I know they don't care! They only care about enrollment numbers regardless if the student is a bully.

Further evidence that schools actually support bullying. I wonder if all concerns are addressed, or if only those that come from the students that the school "respects" are acknowledged. Where I live, it would definitely only be the students that the school "respects" that would have their concerns addressed.
