We seek to amend Matt's Safe School Law to include protection for students who are being bullied via the internet and other forms of telecommunications. All students deserve to feel safe whether they are in the class room or at home on their computer. Please support this petition so that our legislatures know this is an important subject that needs to be included in Matt's Safe School Law.
Why is this important?
We have made great strides this year against bullying with the passage of Matt's Safe School Law, however more needs to be done. Currently no laws have been passed regarding cyber bullying which is currently on the rise. Victims of cyber bullying aren't able to escape the harassment inflicted on them by their peers by going home as with traditional bullying. Victims of cyber bulling have no safe place.
