A tragedy struck a small town right here in Wisconsin exactly one week ago today. Twelve year old Payton Ruth Anne Richardson committed suicide at her grandparents house in the early morning hours. Why? What would drive a fun, loving, caring young girl to such an extreme? Not what, but who is the question. Bullies is who. Something all to common to millions of children (and adults) everyday, but what is being done to combat this? The family and friends of this young girl is working on creating new legislation to hold bullies accountable for their actions. I urge you to support this movement in whatever way possible. Here is a video her close friend created in her memory:

I hope you are at peace now Payton. Your memory will forever live on in the hearts and minds of those who love you. My thoughts and prayers are with those affected by the loss of this young life and the countless others that are lost daily.
