The school district, well, thats going to cost money. But we found teachers, we started with elementary and went up to middle who would volunteer for that, straight or gay. Then we put the word out, if you are having these kind of problems, we saw some very graphic instances that even the sensitized adults didnt understand, they didnt realize it. A lot of it in those days, im a teacher and i love my profession, a lot of it was in the faculty rooms, too. You learn from kids. Its all laid out there for you and thats another thing if you have the sensitized adult then you dont spend any money, that adult is there are there. We have about 3 minutes left for each of you to make a final comment. Mr. Neighbors, starting with you. Just like to share with you, my wife and i are frequently asked, are you against the internet and everything digital. No, theres a lot of good out there. After jills death i had to take a month off of work, went back to work and the first day back at work my wife cal

After jills death i had to take a month off of work, went back to work and the first day back at work my wife calls me, we just got a phone message from a tailor asking we return the phone call.

First day back at work my wife calls me, we just got a phone message from a tailor asking we return the phone call. So i called the louisiana number that was left and a little young voice answered the phone. I asked, is this tailor . A little young voice said, is this robert neighbor . The only person who calls me robert is my mom and this was not my mom. She went on to say she was thinking of committing suicide and she went on you tube and found some videos that some of jills friend had made about jill. And she thought, if somebody loves jill that much, maybe somebody loves me. Im always touched by that. Some day bullying will be something of the past. I also wanted to say we need to work and i see representatives here of cities and counties because those same children are on sports teams under the city rec department, they are receiving services and they are in programs with the county and so having this training, having this awareness go beyond the schools is really important.

Well see less textbooks and more Digital Learning and with that we are promoting a Digital Literacy policy which deals with a number of issues and im going to go back and look at the draft policy to see how well it deals with the kind of issues rob and your family have dealt with in terms of using the internet safely and being aware of the harm you can do to yourself and to others by the way digital news can get around. Assemblyman. Thank you very much. Im ve
Really complicated issue and on the other hand at its very core is somewhat simple. Whether its online or offline, bullying and harassment or as the teens that we encounter at Common Sense Media often say, drama, its about power. As you heard the boy on the video say, im the big dog. Who has it, who wants it and who wants to keep it. I realize this is an incredibly simple definition so i will leave it to our panel to pick it apart and to delve deeper. Each of our panelists will have the opportunity to give a brief introduction of who they are and their organizations and after weve done the rounds i will pose a series of questions to eefrp of they will and then you will all have the opportunity to interact with them yourselves so we can have a really dynamic conversation. The one thing i will say before introducing our first panelists is we are going to try to keep all these introductions brief so i will give my friendly reminder to the panel, i dont have a buzz button or anything, and
