Children must understand that bullying is a crime. It will be a felony on their record at an early age, and that will change their life. Bullying must stop.”Grace Miller – Daily Press ADP Staff Join the Artesia Daily Press Newsletter Stay informed with the latest Artesia news and updates, directly in your inbox. Subscribe now!
