Children's Home Marches Against Bullying

Residents, staff of Children's Home of Easton take part in 'Million T-Shirt March.'

Residents of the Children's Home of Easton got a lesson about the dangers of bullying last week as part of the "Million T-Shirt March," a nationwide anti-bullying rally.

On Thursday morning, about 30 students—joined by Children's Home staff—marched through Wilson wearing T-shirts with the slogan "It's Time to Put An End to Bullying."

The walk as the result of months of planning, said Palmer Township Supervisor Anne-Marie Panella, director of human resources at the home.

Students read the stories of four children who had killed themselves as a result of bullying, and also heard from Assistant District Attorney Abraham Kassis, who spoke of how "he looks back on his teen years and realizes the relationships he would have handled differently," Panella said in a news release.
