Parents and students from throughout Tulsa are invited to participate in a conference on bullying at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Sponsored by the Byrd Middle School PTA, the conference will offer information about bullying awareness, as well as techniques for dealing with children who are bullies or victims of bullying. Byrd is located at 7502 E. 57th St.
Carol Bush, executive director of the Crime Commission, and Lori Fullbright, a crime reporter for KOTV, channel 6, will be the keynote speakers.
The story of the suicide in January of Phoebe Prince, a freshman in Massachusetts, has drawn national attention to bullying and state laws for dealing with it. Nine teenagers accused of tormenting Prince, who was 15, face criminal charges, including criminal harassment, stalking, and statutory rape.
