The DBM Project aims to focus on providing legal services to resolve – through court order or other legal remedies – situations where serious incidents of repeated physical, social, and/or verbal bullying is occurring.

Commentary: Kids Online Safety Act would prevent cyberbullying
Seven years ago, my family’s world was shattered by the death of our youngest son, David. At 16, David took his life after months of being continually harassed, humiliated and threatened by a group of students through text messages and social media. As we have learned, cyberbullying is a form of abuse that can lead to depression, low self-esteem, anxiety and, ultimately, suicide. As a result of David’s tragic death, my husband, Matt, our other two sons, Cliff and Chris, and I created David’s Legacy, a foundation committed to eliminating cyberbullying through education, legislation and legal action.
