2:48 am
i don't think we're giving them specific tools. sometimes it's because i think we don't know the specific tools. we're not told and taught ourselves. >> reporter: and that's a problem, our parenting expert says, because our kids watch us constantly. what happens if we don't confront a bully, or worse, act like bullies ourselves? >> you're being a terrible role model. all the children see it. and they talk about it. children talk about crazy parents all the time. >> reporter: it's not just what we say, but what we do. so we decided it was time to point the hidden cameras at the parents. they're the role models -- will they know what to do? >> okay! >> reporter: this time, i'm playing the bully. i need a good disguise. first, i get some new curves. >> oh my god, there's layers. >> two layers of booty. >> reporter: next up -- a wardrobe change. >> so good. >> reporter: then, it's time for a new face. i get a prosthetic nose. >> how's the profile? >> reporter: a wig. glasses.

and long pink nails. my physical transformation is complete -- but can i really play a believable bully? >> this is the easy part. the hard part is coming up next. >> reporter: here's what we did. it's the night before we start testing kids. we invited two of the moms -- stacy and allison -- to come to our studio for a pre-interview. they don't know i'm involved in the project, so they're not looking for natalie morales. we're all backstage getting our makeup done, and i'm pretending to be just another mom like them. >> hi, ladies. >> hi. >> reporter: they don't seem to recognize me. my victim is an actor playing the role of a makeup artist. >> you just got powder all over me. >> reporter: i get right to work in front of the unsuspecting moms. >> have you done this before? >> yeah. >> no. this looks awful. >> reporter: i escalate the nastiness -- >> god, i'm going to look like a corpse with this. >> reporter: and treat the makeup lady like she's worthless. >> it's terrible. i don't think you know what you're talking about. >> just -- just let me do it.
2:50 am
you're sure you're a makeup artist? >> reporter: the women clearly seem uncomfortable -- stacy makes a face and allison turns away from me. they laugh nervously. but they don't say a word about my behavior. >> are you sure you've done this before? >> reporter: i leave the room unchecked. >> hi! >> reporter: but when the real makeup artist arrives, the two women can't stop talking about me. >> wait 'til you talk to your counterpart. >> she was like, "are you really a makeup artist? do you know if you have the right colors?" >> did you say anything? >> no. i was stunned. i was in shock. >> reporter: as they talk things over, the moms seem to second guess themselves, wondering if they should have done something. >> i guess we should have said, listen, really, it's no big deal. >> reporter: in fact they seem so troubled by it. they recount the story again, this time to one of our producers. >> the other mom here, she was like, a little bit, you know, abrasive. >> very abrasive. >> to the makeup artist. so, it was like weird. >> i am in shock right now. sorry, i can't speak. >> reporter: it was the very
2:51 am
next day that i sat down with them, without a disguise, and watched their daughters do exactly what they'd done -- notice the bullies, talk about it amongst themselves, laugh nervously and say nothing to stop it. now with everyone in the room -- >> it's not just you guys who have a hard time speaking up! take a look! >> reporter: i show them clips from the day before. >> ugh, this is awful. >> reporter: and reveal that i was the bully. >> that's what you were doing yesterday. >> yeah! >> reporter: a bit of payback for the girls, and a reminder for the adults -- dealing with a bully is tough at any age. >> quite frankly, and maybe the girls felt the same way, like, i didn't really want to get too involved. >> big learning. >> for everyone. >> for everyone. >> the great thing is, is the parents learned as much as the kids this time around, right? >> absolutely. >> reporter: so far, we've seen that even grown ups have a hard time confronting bullies head
2:52 am
2:55 am
>> reporter: we've seen how hard it is, even for adults, to confront a bully. and we've heard how devastating the effects of bullying can be. >> it made me honestly feel horrible. >> it was like really hurtful to me. >> i couldn't concentrate in class. >> reporter: so far, no one has directly called our bullies out. but there's someone in our last group who should be up to the challenge, 15-year-old kailyn. her parents say they've always talked to her about how to deal with confrontation. and after she was bullied she started an anti-bullying campaign. >> they've had meetings after school and kids have made posters throughout the school and that kind of stuff. >> reporter: she also has a brother with special needs, which has made her even more empathetic and protective.
2:56 am
with all these experiences, surely kailyn will be the one who finally confronts our bullies, right? well, not so fast. >> saying something at school, where you're comfortable, is one thing. but in a room full of people you don't know, it's going to be more difficult. >> reporter: joining her is 14-year-old brittany, an outgoing girl who's into sports. her mother says brittany's been bullied on her school bus. she doesn't know how her daughter will react today. >> i'm not so sure. i think it's 50/50. >> reporter: remember, kailyn and brittany think they're here to answer questions about what teens like. >> i want you guys to have a consensus. >> reporter: but our bullies -- remember, they're actors -- have a different agenda. once again, they quickly single out our victim, dismissing her input about the best tv show. >> i could see some of the like nerdier people in my class totally watch all of those. but -- >> they're like nerd specific. >> reporter: and they compare her to a geeky character from television.
2:57 am
>> she's like the nerdy character. and everyone sort of, i mean everyone sort of picks on her. she's like so out of it. >> reporter: kailyn and brittany are clearly aware of what's going on and don't seem to like it. >> so you've read like "lord of the rings" a bunch of times? >> yeah, i like read the "lord of the rings" series. >> do you know, like elvish? >> oh, my god. so funny. >> reporter: kailyn tries to stare them down with a long, hard glare. >> i don't think your daughter likes those girls any more. >> your daughter gave them a good, cold, hard stare. >> reporter: if looks could kill, our bullies would be toast by now. but she doesn't say anything. >> no offense, but you're not like super with it. >> reporter: kailynn's jaw literally drops, as the bullies keep going. >> you should give us the video game answer. 'cause we don't play video games, 'cause we like, have social lives. >> reporter: finally, she's had enough. >> i think that was really disrespectful, like i'm not trying to be disrespectful to you guys, but just 'cause her taste isn't your taste doesn't mean you can really like pick on
2:58 am
her. >> reporter: kailyn directly confronts the bullies, and doesn't stop. >> you can disagree with her but i don't think it's very nice to shoot her down. >> reporter: when the mean girls try to exclude angel from a group selfie, kailyn has an answer for that too. >> here, we'll take our -- it's okay, you guys. we don't want to be in it. we'll take our own. >> reporter: brittany seems caught in the middle, unsure of what to do. >> like, what video game? >> reporter: things escalate with the cyberbullying and this time, it gets meaner. the bullies make fun of our victim, writing "only angel would think this video is the best video," and they make it public, so she can see it. >> guys, you know i can read the comments. >> it's just a joke. it's just a joke! >> reporter: but kailyn won't give them an inch online either. >> you're crossing lines and it's not funny anymore. it's really not funny. >> like, do you feel hurt, angel? 'cause, like, we were just, like, you know -- >> look at her face. of course she feels hurt. >> reporter: kailyn's confidence seems to help brittany find her own voice. >> guys, you shouldn't be doing something like that. >> i think britney's hearing her
2:59 am
and kind of saying, "okay, i need to also be a little bit more assertive about this." >> reporter: on top of everything kailyn's done today, she goes one step further. she genuinely befriends our victim. >> i think that your taste is really cool. >> thanks. >> and i would love for you to teach me about it more. for real. >> your daughter is so sweet. oh my gosh. i love your daughter. i want to be friends with her. wow. how do you feel about that, david? >> i'm very proud. that's kailyn. >> reporter: her dad is overcome. >> got more guts than i do. that's for sure. >> reporter: i go and tell the girls we've been watching on hidden cameras. >> my dad saw me yell at people. >> no, you were phenomenal! >> reporter: wiseman admires how kailyn handled the tough situation with ease. >> you, being able to articulate a really good, strong opinion is not yelling at people. you did that in an assertive way that was absolutely perfect. >> reporter: wiseman says even
3:00 am
though brittany wasn't as vocal, she too helped shut down the bullies. >> i was watching your body language. at one point, you completely turned towards angel. so i just wanted to encourage you that, like, the small things that you were doing actually make a difference. >> come on in parents. give your kids a big hug. >> reporter: both their parents couldn't be prouder. >> getting a little emotional, huh? david, did you learn something about your daughter today that you didn't know before this? >> she's got, you know, 1,000 times more guts than i do. >> big hugs all around. >> excellent job, ladies. >> reporter: bullying may be one of the most complicated situations you and your kids will ever face. you won't get it right every time, but the important thing is, to keep trying. >> i want parents to realize this doesn't make them bad parents or their kids bad kids. it's that we're in messy communities where conflict happens. sit down with your kid and say, "you know what? bad things are going to happen. so let's figure out how to handle this so you can be proud of it and i can be proud of it."
3:01 am
that's all for now. thanks for joining us. this sunday, a campaign in crisis. slipping poll numbers, a staff shakeup, and now a disastrous debate performance. does jeb bush have what it takes to win the republican nomination? >> i've got a back boep, i've got a heart and i've got brain. >> my sit-down with the one-time gop front-runner jeb bush. plus, the new speaker of the house paul ryan. he's got political capital. how will he use it? >> we've been bold on taxes but timid on policies and ideas. and changing course, first in afghanistan, now in syria. why president obama decided to send special ops forces into the syrian civil war. are we looking at mission creep? joining me for insight
