The law will require Indiana schools to notify the parents of a bullying victim within three business days that an incident has been reported and to notify the parents of an alleged bullying perpetrator within five business days.
Terry, 13, of Covington, Indiana, killed himself on March 6. In his final moments, he recorded a video on his cellphone in which he named bullies at school and said they were the reason he was taking his own life, his parents said.
In their first interview since the bill was signed, Terry's parents said they were certain their son was saving other kids' lives. But at school, Terry was not happy at all, his parents said. Kids bullied him over everything. When Terry got a haircut from the barbershop, he came home from school the next day and begged his dad to give him a new haircut, telling him kids were laughing at his appearance.
Both the superintendent and Church Church Hittle + Antrim Law, the firm that conducted the third-party review, declined to share the findings with NBC News.“If I ever in a million years thought that this would have been the outcome, I would have completely taken him out of school,” Robyn Badger said.
