Bill to toughen anti-bully law dies in committee

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - A bill that would have toughened Indiana's anti-bully law was killed Wednesday by the Senate Education Committee. Wednesday night, State Sen. Tom Wyss was so upset by the move he declined to even talk about it.
It was an I-Team 8 hidden camera investigation six years ago that prompted Wyss to get the state's first anti-bully law passed. Then, with so many kids locally committing suicide after being bullied, Wyss vowed to toughen the law to hold schools more accountable. The new law would have required schools to keep a record of the bullying reports and report them to the state.
I-Team 8 has requested to speak with all state senators who voted against the bill.
