WBNS 10TV Takes On Bullying In A Primetime Special

COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- WBNS 10TV, in partnership with The Columbus Metropolitan Club, invites you to join us for a special one-night event hosted by 10TV's Yolanda Harris and Scott Light Tuesday March 20, 2018 from 9 to 10 p.m.

"Hear Me Now: Bullying, Cyberbullying and Our Children" will take on the crisis in our community affecting our young kids and teens.

"The suicide of a 14-year-old boy in Columbus sparked an intense social media conversation that opened the floodgates," says Kelly Frank, Director of News and Digital Content at WBNS 10TV. "Parents, teens, teachers and administrators want to stop cyberbullying, but are struggling to discuss it openly and honestly with each other. We call this disparity the Bullying Gap. We hope to break down communication barriers, quiet fears, bridge that gap and begin a conversation that will continue beyond our town hall."

Hear from parents, administrators, experts and teens who are stepping up and courageously taking on the tough topics of bullying, suicide and mental health.

This will be an evening of honest talk about what is really going on, focused on finding constructive solutions to end this crisis.

"As the media leader in our community, we felt a deep sense of responsibility to stand up, bring this important issue to the forefront and give support to our friends, neighbors and their families. We hope to make Columbus a safer and healthier place to live, free of cyberbullying and the tragic effects it has on our children," says John Cardenas, President and General Manager of WBNS 10TV.

Hear Me Now: Bullying, Cyberbullying and our Children will air live on WBNS 10TV, 10TV.com and on 10TV's Facebook page.
