Bully Police Squad will help teach causes, effects

January 29, 2012 12:00 am

Bullying has been around for centuries. Fast forward to 2012 and add cyberbullying as another form of bullying.

Reports about bullying are in the media on a daily basis, and an estimated 160,000 children miss school daily because of being bullied.

I recently became the Indiana spokeswoman for The Bully Police Squad. The focus of this organization is educating children, parents and teachers on the causes and effects of bullying.

I welcome anyone who would like more information about this organization to visit the website or send an email to bullypoliceindiana@gmail.com. Together we can make a difference.

- Lisa Lopiccolo, Griffith
