Lawyer 2 Lawyer - A podcast by Legal Talk Network - Fridays

Just recently 15-year old student Phoebe Prince from South Hadley, Massachusetts took her own life after she was being constantly "cyberbullied" by a group of students at her school. Phoebe's story is one of many that has left communities reeling, schools in the hot seat and parents enraged by the lack of protection of their children and a lack of discipline against the perpetrators. Co-hosts and attorneys J. Craig Williams and Bob Ambrogi welcome David T. Tirella, partner at the firm Eaton, Powell & Tirella and Debra Johnston, founder of Students For Safer Schools and mother of Jeffrey Johnston, a victim of cyberbullying, to discuss the latest in cyberbulling prevention, legislation against cyberbullying and what to do if your child becomes a victim.
