Make bullying a punishable crime of violence
Please define and recognise various forms of bullying and introduce penalties for the perpetrators (and in the case of minors) or parents of bullies, for committing the crime
Why is this important?
To get politicians to address bullying in our schools, workplace and community. Bullying is usually perpetrated on innocent and vulnerable people and in many cases has caused people to commit suicide. This is an indirect cause of death and highlighting this will make people have a second thoughts about their activities.
