Remember Carl Joseph Walker-Hoover

Carl committed suicide on this day.

He did this because he was bullied at school and taunted of being gay.

A year later, a group has created facebook project: 5 Minutes to Remember Carl Joseph Walker-Hoover

Please spend 5 minutes in Carl's memory and CALL YOUR Representative and ask him/her to support (or thank them if they already do) the Safe Schools Improvement Act, a comprehensive federal anti-bullying bill.

MESSAGE FROM CARL'S MOTHER, Sirdeaner Walker:

One year ago Tuesday, my son Carl Joseph Walker-Hoover brought his life to an end after enduring relentless harassment and cruel bullying at school. It is difficult to put into words what it feels like to remember that terrible day. But it is not difficult at all to do something positive in Carl’s memory.

That is why I hope you will join me in taking a moment from your busy day to reflect on Carl’s life and his tragic suicide – and to remember that bullying in schools has very serious and life-threatening consequences.

Please remember Carl.
