Children with special needs are victims of a nationwide silent epidemic of bullying, according to a report and guide titled "Walk a Mile in Their Shoes," released by AbilityPath.org, an online community for parents of children with disabilities.

"'Bullying is every parent's fear,' said Sheryl Young, CEO of Community Gatepath, the nonprofit organization which created AbilityPath.org. 

"For parents of children with special needs that fear is exacerbated. This report and guide were developed to include children with special needs in the national dialogue and to raise the level of awareness about bullying, cyberbullying and the devastating developmental effects it can have upon children with special needs."
