#CYBERBYTE - Maryland Senator, Bobby Zirkin, Accepts CYBERBYTE Challenge, Speaks

Cyberbyte | Season 1

Maryland Senator, Bobby Zirkin (D-Baltimore County), is the lead sponsor behind the bill, 'Grace's Law 2.0,' addressing the loopholes of its predecessor, 'Grace's Law,' which has allowed for the misuse of social media through cyberbullying. In 2013, the Maryland Legislature introduced landmark legislation, known as "Grace's Law," after 15-year-old Grace McComas died by suicide after being bullied online and sexually harassed for months with little assistance from the school district or other public agencies they approached for help. The law makes it a misdemeanor for repeatedly bullying an individual under the age of 18 through a computer or smartphone. If convicted, a person could face fines up to $500.00 or up to one year in prison.
