Rodger Dinwiddie, president of the International Bullying Prevention Association, led the discussion as a member of the expert panel. Also included on the panel are David and Tina Long from Chatsworth, Georgia. The Longs are featured in the new film, "Bully", after their son Tyler committed suicide following years of bullying. The remaining members of the expert panel include Karen Glenn, Executive Director Hamilton County S.T.A.R.S. (Students Taking A Right Stand); Lt.
