I overheard a conversation between 2 women-1 was a grandmother with her 2 granddaughters in tow. Neither girl looked to be older than 7. The grandmother relayed that 1 child was being bullied & wanted to die. Will you discuss the correlation between bullying & youth suicide?
-
Yes. This has been a topic of discussion at our prior Taskforce hearings and is one we will continue to consider.
