A Delaware County teen was honored by a local anti bullying foundation on Monday night for her courage to stand up to the ongoing bullying her parents say she's experienced for years.
Teach Anti Bullying went to a home in Brookhaven to honor Mary, a 14-year-old 8th grader who has been a victim of assault, harassment, and bullying. Mary's parents say their daughter has been bullied for years and now, she's finally getting the recognition she deserves for sticking up for herself and other victims of bullying.
Teach Anti Bullying heard about Mary's story and surprised her with a medal and gifts as a part of the celebration Monday night. Mary is the 600th recipient of a national award called the Teach Anti Bullying Medal of Courage. People of Teach Anti Bullying say more students need to do what Mary did. Members of the Delaware County Chapter of Bikers against Child Abuse came out to make sure Mary knew they had her back, too.
