Sign the Petition: Stop Bullying in Schools and Protect the Victims

Here is another campaign I can get behind.

Bullying is such a horrible experience that it should be a crime. Most of us have experienced bullying at some point in our lives and we can agree it doesn’t feel good.

Bullying is so bad in schools that kids as young as elementary school ages are committing suicide because of it. That is the case for a 13 year old student from Covington, Indiana. He was bullied so severely that he ended his life.

Check out this Change.org petition set up by his family to encourage the passage of HB 1483 in efforts to help stop bullying in schools and protect the victims.

Right now this bill is applicable to Indiana schools but hopefully with enough support other bills of its nature will take flight nationwide. There has to be something that can be done to stop excessive bullying and abuse especially in educational environments.

Sign here to help get the bill passed.

As the humanitarian crisis rages on in foreign countries like Haiti, gangs have overtaken the streets inflicting pure hell in cities such as the country’s capital Port-au-Prince.

Check this segment done by BBC News which goes behind the scenes to document the affect the gang violence is having on civilian life and how the Haitian government seems to be looking the other way.

Crime is rampant with murder, rape & extortion being some of the main daily operations. Corrupt politicians & police make it nearly impossible to contain and the Haitian people are at the mercy of it all.

In 2021, Haiti’s president was assassinated in a targeted & brutal home invasion. To date, no one has been held responsible for his murder.
