Cartoon Network To Launch Anti-Bullying Campaign

The AP (5/26, Crary) reports, "Next fall, when millions of kids tune into Cartoon Network to watch Bugs Bunny, Scooby-Doo and other favorites, they'll encounter something new - an ambitious campaign to enlist them as foot soldiers in the fight against bullying. Unlike many bullying programs, this one is geared toward middle school, where experts say bullying is most common." The program "also targets not bullies nor the bullied, but kids who witness bullying, giving them appropriate techniques to intervene."
