Halligan’s son, Ryan, died by suicide on
October 7, 2003 after being bullied by classmates at school and online. He
was 13 years old.
Halligan’s
presentation will cover the lessons
learned too late for his family regarding
how
to deal with bullying, cyberbullying, and teen
depression.
Parents
will be empowered with strategies to
take preventive actions with their own
children.
“Primetime
with Diane Sawyer devoted an
entire episode to cyberbullying and Ryan’s
story
called “Cruel Intentions.” Along with his
wife Kelly, he also appeared in the
PBS
Frontline special called “Growing up On-Line”
and on the Oprah Winfrey
Show. We are
grateful that Mr. Halligan is coming to Lowell
to share his story
with us.
