DOVE Working To Address Bullying In Schools

DeWitt County DOVE wants to equip local students in the fight against school and cyber bullying.

The non-profit group aimed at curbing violence and abuse in the community, wants to target every school age group from kindergarten through high school as well as educating parents. Megan Neaville, with DeWitt County Dove, says each grade will be engaged in a specific, age-appropriate discussion.
