Christine McComas lost her 14-year-old daughter, Grace, to su***de over a decade ago. Grace was relentlessly and brutally bullied and threatened online. Christine went to the congressional hearing with 5 Big Tech heads about online child safety. She held a photo of her daughter. She pushing for new legislation that she thinks will save lives. A law that would’ve saved Grace’s life over the years ago. My conversation with Christine McComas. . #bigtech #onlinesafety #kidsonline #kosa #kidsonlinesafety #socialmedia #socialmediasafety

I will never understand why so many people are silent in the face of any type of peer abuse. This is an extremely sensitive subject for me as my youngest son was destroyed by murdering words. Society tends to underestimate the common cruelty that takes place in schools by calling it bullying. Which in of itself is so painful for those who are touched by the verbal rampage of peer abuse. When we dismiss the verbal atrocities of our youth, please don’t be surprised when those children grow up to commit even worse acts violence. The acceptance of violence along with the glorification of violence needs to stop! We need to speak life over our children and we need to demand a better plan for dealing with any type of violence in our educational institutions.

I will never understand why people which make up our schools, churches and businesses have such issues with discussing tough topics with each other, with students, with congregants.

Please understand it is the silence that pulls the trigger, hangs the rope or pops the pill.

This statistic should make every single educator stand up and demand change in how schools deal with abuse by their peers and if you are not - well then you are part of the problem.

Sometimes you just have to create your own sunshine.
