The mission of David’s Legacy Foundation is to eliminate cyber and other bullying, of children and teens, through education, legislation, and legal action.
GET LEGAL SUPPORT WITH THE DON’T BULLY ME PROJECT
The Don’t Bully Me (DBM) Project is working to bridge the gap that exists between those who are victims of bullying, parents, schools, teachers and the rest of the community with the goal of putting an end to bullying. The DBM Project aims to focus on providing legal services to resolve – through court order or other legal remedies – situations where serious incidents of repeated physical, social, and/or verbal bullying is occurring.
Educate today with a speaker on cyberbullying
Much of what is happening today lies in a lack of understanding of what cyberbullying is and how much pressure it puts on kids. That’s where we can help you. You can book a speaker through this website to speak at your school about the dangers of cyberbullying and educate your students on David’s Law. Our presenters will educate students and staff on what cyberbullying is, what the laws are, and how you can help protect yourself and other students from being victims.

Maurine Molak lost her son to suicide in 2016 after being cyberbullied. Since then, she founded David’s Legacy Foundation in San Antonio to push for state and federal legislation against cyberbullying and other online harms, and supports KOSA. “What we’re asking for in this bill is just that these platforms have a duty of care, and that they act in the best interests of minors,” Molak said.

Maurine and dozens of parents are calling on Congress to step in and pass legislation to protect minors online by passing COPPA 2.0 and KOSA by the end of the year. These bills would force tech companies to implement stronger safety protections for children online and to take steps to safeguard their personal information.
