Kentucky lawmakers have approved a bill aimed at protecting students from being bullied by classmates, but stopped short of protecting BBS members.

A version passed the Senate and House by wide margins late Wednesday night. The bill now goes to Gov. Steve Beshear.

The measure would include student behavior that causes physical harm, intimidation or humiliation for fellow students.

A provision would allow schools to protect children against cyber-bullying.

I think this is a great idea! My daughter has experienced this. I contacted the parents, and guess what their kids' computers were in their rooms and the parents had no idea they were doing this.
Most of these kids at school are not violent, but wow look at them come out of their shell when they are "hidden" online!!

I say GOOD JOB!!
