I always say that instead of calling it "bullying", call it what it actually is: assault, battery, verbal abuse, emotional abuse, psychological abuse, extortion, blackmail, attempted murder, etc. Instead of some sugarcoated child-friendly blanket term, use the same exact legal terms that would be used if the kids were adults engaging in this behavior.

Sorry folks, this is a damn stupid idea. "Bullying" is vague.
I fear that laws like these will lead to First Amendment restrictions, and they will eventually be expanded to be used against us, and not the actual bullies. (ie., CF'ers are "bullies" because they don't give out Halloween candy, ignore babystalking, don't permit children to trespass on their property, are un-friendly toward 'bring your child to work day' and other such nonsense...)Quote

I agree completely. And instead of creating new, expensive "bullying" legislation, why not just enforce the laws that are already on the books? The bolded terms are completely illegal in every state. And in terms of verbal abuse, emotional abuse... many states also have statutes against stalking, harassment, etc.
Just enforce those laws. And the mainstream media should report it for what it is. It wasn't bullying, it was extortion. It was assault & battery. It was attempted murder. And those who commit these crimes deserve harsh sentences.
