With his new show just two weeks old, Anderson Cooper flew the parents and sister of Jamey Rodemeyer to New York for his one hour show that focused on bullying.
“To see Jamey, to see him on that video where he himself is reaching out to other people who are being bullied to try to tell them that it gets better, and then to know that no matter what he said, a few months later he took his own life, I mean it’s just sickening. I lost a brother to suicide. I know what that grief is like and I just wanted to do something. I just think it’s important to continue to talk about it and to focus and shine a light,” said Cooper.
Cooper brought in child psychologists, the Williamsville School Superintendent, he interviewed George Richert about News 4′s coverage of the story, and even Jessica Ramini, the Williamsville North student who admitted to News 4 that she has been guilty of bullying in the past.
