NORTH SYRACUSE -- They call themselves the Anti-bullying Brigade of New York and, within a month, plan to launch an anti-bullying website.
Dr. Cynthia Roundy said the final logistics of the website are being worked out at the moment, but Saturday night -- members of the brigade met for a photo shoot at the steps of CNS Junior High School. Those photos will appear on the website, along with the group's motto: protecting human dignity one person at a time.
Roundy said the website will provide guidance for those who've been bullied, both at school and in the workplace, and for those who are bullying others. The group, she said, is made up of folks who have been bullied or have a family member who has been bullied.
"Every half an hour a student commits suicide due to bullying in schools," said Roundy. "That in itself is enough to say to say this is a critical movement ,so even if we help one person in the period of three months, we've done our jobs."
