Acting Associate Attorney General Tony West Speaks at the Federal Partners in Bullying Prevention 2012 Summit

“We must continue to work because today, somewhere, there’s a child who will feel the sting of a punch because the clothes he’s wearing aren’t cool; who will believe her difference is a detriment as she eats alone in a crowded school cafeteria; who will skip school another day to avoid a terrifying confrontation; or will contemplate suicide because nothing seems like it can hurt more than this moment of humiliation right now,” said Acting Associate Attorney General West.
