Comments about ‘Public input is sought on the problem of hazing in Utah’

in our soceity, nor does bullying, our legislators need to pass laws with some teeth them and enforce them, not just talk about it. This is nothing but sadistic crap, and our children should not have to take it any more, many of them suffer permanent mental or physical injury.
By the way this is something that has gone on for many years and is still rampant in our military acadamies. The prevailing attitude that "I went through it as a freshman and now that I am a senior it is my turn to haze or bully" must stop.

How about instead of talking about it for the next 5-7 months, just write the bill and release it to the public so that we can comment on what your real intentions are. I am tired of politicians saying, "We want public input for..." and then doing the opposite or nothing at all. Just write the bill, that you are planning on writing and release it and then ask for public comment.

We will never pass enough laws and have enough cops and jails to force everyone to behave.

There are already Leaders who have been setting an example for generations, teach parents to teach children to treat each other with respect.

Be one.
Elect more.
Support good examples wherever they are.

That is the only solution for bullying, hazing, and any other ill of our society.

Why doesn't the senate ask for the public's input on taxes, illegal immigration etc... NUT JOBS!!!

As an alumni of a sorority I understand the need for hazing laws. I did not go to college in Utah but have seen what hazing can do to students. I was lucky enough to be part of a sorority that did not haze but some of my friends weren't as lucky. Unfortunately, no matter how many laws are in place to prevent hazing it still comes down to someone who is being hazed to speak up. That is much easier said than done. I don't believe any law in place could have helped the fraternity member who died. The event did not take place at a greek house and there were people involved who were not members of the greek system. I think this is a case where bad judgment was used by everyone involved and it lead to the worst possible outcome.

About the book the Cops go by? How about the Cops working for the CITY? The State?
Who works for the People?
Cops are a bunch of Bullies running the street.

You are forgetting one key group: the student team leaders. All members of a team look up to the leaders on the team. They ape them, they want to be them. If these athletes could stand up and make sure everyone knows that hazing is not to happen on their team, it won't happen. Coaches and parents can only go so far, but peer leaders have most of the control.
