Join us tonight for a discussion about 'bullying' with father of Bailey O'Neill

Our Wednesday night live-stream Internet broadcast, 'Live From the Newsroom,' will revisit the topic of 'Bullying" tonight, and we will have a very special guest join the discussion.

The grandfather of Bailey O'Neill, the Darby Township youth whose family is convinced is the victim of a bullying incident, will join us. We'll be talking about bullying in general, as well as the status of Bailey's case.

We had originally planned to have on Robert O'Neill, Bailey's father, but he has withdrawn on the advice of his lawyer given the pending status of legal matters surrounding the case.

As we continue to await word on any possible charges and exactly what caused Bailey's death, the anti-bullying cause that has sprung up around the case goes on.

We'll discuss the 'bullying' issue, and what we can do to stop it.

Bailey O'Neill is the 12-year-old Darby Township youth who was involved in a fight on the playground at Darby Township Elementary School. He developed serious medical conditions and eventually his family had to make the heart-wrenching decision to take Bailey off life support.

They believe Bailey was the victim of "bullying," but that has yet to be determined by the Delaware County District Attorney's office. The family continues to await word on the autopsy performed on Bailey and any direct link between the fight and the injuries that caused his death.

We'll also be joined by Dr. Claudio Cerullo, the president and founder of Teach Anti-Bullying Inc., an organization that is trying to focus attention on this growing issue.

We'll discuss Bailey's case and the growing issue of "bullying," as well as steps schools and families can take to fight it.

Do you have a question about Bailey's case or "Bullying" you'd like to see addressed? Email it to me at editor@delcotimes.com and I will ask our panel. Then tune in to DelcoTimes.com at 7 p.m. Wednesday for 'Live From the Newsroom' and take part in our live chat.

Take part in the conversation, and get involved in the battle to stop bullying.
