ST. LOUIS (AP) - Representatives from more than two
dozen law enforcement agencies from Missouri and Illinois will gather in
St. Louis next week for a workshop on cyberbullying.
The organization Child Safety Day is hosting the workshop on
Wednesday. It will be led by Tina Meier, whose 13-year-old daughter,
Megan, committed suicide in 2006 after being the victim of
cyberbullying.
Organizers say the workshop will include police officers conducting a
mock re-investigation of the Megan Meier case using current state laws
instituted after Megan's death.
Organizers of the workshop say bullying on the Internet can play a
role not only in suicides but in school shootings and other tragedies.
