Rejected petition Bring in a anti bullying legislation

There needs to be consequences for bullies who attack victims and film it to share on social media. Bullying needs to have legislation to outlaw it as a criminal offence. Victims of bullying needs to know that their attackers will be dealt with via a judicial route

More details

There are too many videos on social media showing a victim being viciously attacked verbally and physically. The victims, their families never recover from the trauma of being attacked, there has not been any convictions for the attacks, schools are not addressing bullying, there are no harsh consequences. Bullying can and does result in long term ptsd which is not addressed. There needs to be a law in place that makes this society a safer environment for those who are picked on
