“No, keep it local. You have more control that way. The locals know the hot spots and where to troubleshoot. It’s a more personal approach. With the federal government, it’s very impersonal. Just a lot of rules and regulations.”

“No. If there’s a problem, have it dealt with by local or state officials. Bullying is a cry for attention: Bullies need to be dealt with individually. The federal government isn’t capable of that individualized approach.”

“Yes, the problem is so extreme is requires federal intervention. I’m from Boston. I have a lot of friends and loved ones who’ve experienced bullying. It angers me and causes me deep concern.”
