Cyber Bullying and General Information - Volume 1, March 2014 | Page 14

A big thank you to our contributors: Carol Todd is Amanda Todd’s mother. Amanda’s death has affected the world and beyond. I have decided to write my blog and put it out publicly. As the world knows by now, we live in Port Coquitlam BC. It is a wonderful place to live. My community has been so supportive and also so protective of me and my family. We feel so SAFE here. Unfortunately, the world is not always made of kind and empathetic people. If they were, Amanda would probably still be here with us. Instead, I have to spend each day missing her and carrying on her message of being kind to others and decreasing the bullying. http://caroltoddsnowflakes.wordpress.com/about/ Randy Ketterling M.Ed. is a Psychotherapist in private practice living in Newmarket, Ontario.
