Bullying Reporting Web Site

Huffington Post is reporting on an AP story titled, "School Tip Line Web Site Lets Kids Report Bullies Incognito." The story highlights the work of a Brigham Young University student, who developed School Tip Line, a Web site for students (and parents) to report incidents by children of harassment, theft, and drugs.

According to the article, the Web site works as follows: "School administrators are made aware of any tips either by e-mail or text message, Bergener said. For some schools, students have to create a logon and password to send a tip, but they still remain anonymous, though. But in most cases, schools allow anyone to send a tip with no need to give personal information."

Nearly 50 schools in states other than Utah are using the Web site. I hope this trend grows. I have a problem with people, organizations, cities, states, and countries bullying others. In my mind I think a bully is are really saying: "I'm going to make problems I'm running from yours."
