An anti-bullying activist is calling on the province to set up a hotline for victims to talk directly to police while remaining anonymous if they so wish.
The co-founder of Bullying Canada. ca, Rob Frenette says the idea springs from what they’re doing in Halifax which has had such a hotline in place now for several years.
There has been alot of attention placed on bullying over the last few months but Frenette tells CHSJ News whether that will make a difference remains to be seen as he is receiving more calls from parents than ever before.
The Halifax hotline operates 7 days a week and has worked out quite well from what he’s been told. Frenette maintains if such a hotline can save just one student from being bullied then it’s well worth it.
