I am heart-broken after watching the news earlier today which reported on 12-year-old Rebecca Ann Sedwick from Lakeland, FL, who committed suicide after a year-long battle with cyber bullying. She climbed on top of a tower and blunged to her death. Rebecca is only a year younger than my eldest child, Clara Huff (who, too, has experienced being bullied).
We have to talk to our children on a daily basis to listen to them, encourage them and equip them with handling bullying in all of its forms (physical, cyber, name-calling, blatant alienation, etc).
Please keep Rebecca's mom, Trisha Norman, in your prayers, as well as all of the parents worldwide who had to or is about to bury their children as a result of bullying.
R.I.P. Rebecca Ann Sedwick
