I had blogged about the subject of bullying a few times before and I found this article relevant to my other posts. 9 students were charged with the death of Phoebe Prince of South Hadley, Massachusetts who took her life this past January due to extreme bullying. The charges include statutory rape, violation of civil rights, criminal harassment, and disturbing a school assembly. The investigation has been on going since Prince's death. The article says, "Prince's death and the 2009 death of 11-year-old Carl Joseph Walker-Hoover, 11, of Springfield, helped motivate both the Senate and the House to push through new antibullying measures." These new measures will help prevent future bullying in our local school systems.
