Jamari Terrell Williams was a 5th grade student in Montgomery, AL who committed suicide after being bullied online.

It expands the current statute to prevent student harassment, intimidation, violence, and threats of violence to students off campus as well. It also specifically includes cyberbullying in the definition of harassment. Here is a form for filling a written complain for bullying investigations:
