Host Phyllis Austin interviews Bobbie Bean, a father whose son was beaten three times within 2 and half hours. 

Understand that this is not a gradual escalating bullying incident.  This bullying incident is spontaneous and occurred one day, a day that left a son in intensive care fighting for his life.

Imagine your child being airlifted to a hospital after being brutally beaten on school property thrice in two and a half hours. Now, imagine that you begin asking how this could happen at a school and are met with red tape and railroading. The school committee, administrators, and the Sheriff's Department ignore your requests for information. Townspeople join in to retaliate against your family because you refuse to give up your pursuit of justice.

Unwavering in his quest for justice, the father, Bobbie Bean, eventually makes his way to the Florida statehouse floor to lobby for accountability, lost lives, and the dramatic passage of what was in 2008 the toughest anti-bullying bill in the nation.
