Officials report that every seven minutes a school child is bullied nationwide, but most parents don't know how serious the problem is.

All parents from around the southwestern Pennsylvania region are invited to join host Sally Wiggin of WTAE Channel 4 Action News and Highmark Healthy High 5, an initiative of the Highmark Foundation, for a town hall meeting on the issue of bullying.

The event will be held Tuesday, Oct. 7 at 7:30 p.m. at Mt. Lebanon High School.

A distinguished panel of experts in bullying prevention will share compelling information about children who are bullied, those who bully, as well as those who are merely bystanders to bullying. The meeting will be open for questions from parents. The meeting will offer tips on how to talk to your children about bullying.
