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.
