Troy McDonald is no longer President of Kenosha Community Media the station that was the first home of The Troy Show on TV.

"I can report that after 2 years of service to Kenosha Community Media I am no longer President or a board officer. I am grateful and honored to have served in the capacity that I did. The Troy Show and other shows I produce have consumed more of my daily time and I was unable to continue my duties as assigned. It was not fair to you the viewer or myself to work in that manner. 

The Troy Show on TV and other shows I produce including Back To Basics Wrestling  will continue to air on Kenosha TV Time Warner Cable Channel 15-14 and other platforms to be announced. 

I will also continue developing new shows as I am always looking for creative ideas that enlighten viewers to live their ultimate lives. I am grateful for the time I was with KCM and feel blessed to have served Kenosha. I wish the organization the best as it figures out how to adapt in our new digital world."

Bullying Is a pandemic among young people today. It goes beyond the playground and lasts continuously on social media and online. It is embarrassing sometimes for kids to tell their parents that something is wrong. Here are 5 ways you can address it without pushing them away. 

Don't make the situation worse than it is

A bullied child wants to feel strong do not remind them how difficult their situation is. 

Do not go "Madea" at the School

If you have ever seen Tyler Perry's "Madea" movies you know that she is loud and causes a scene! As tempting as it maybe to run up to the school acting crazy for your children, your child will resent you. The craziness can also make the situation worse. Go professionally and courteously to staff members to solve problems. 

Don't expect other parents to agree with you

Everyone hopes that parents can "work it out" but that is simply not the case. In some cases it is the exact opposite. On a past episode of The Troy Show a parent once encouraged the bullying of another student. 

Not every sign of bullying is a sign that Your Child is being bullied

Just because your child is late for class or grades drop doesn't necessarily mean that they are being bullied. We encourage you to ask first before assuming its bullying.

Be an active parent

The number one thing a parent can do to allow an open channel for communication is to be an active parent. Excited to learn what they do every day, not just in kindergarten. Loving your child unconditionally is key. Creative an environment where they come to you.
