Members of the local Community Relations Advisory Board (CRAB) are finalizing an official plan of action in their effort to raise awareness about the negative impacts of bullying.

The organization, which is comprised of leaders and volunteers from Ridgewood and Glen Rock, launched an initiative this year to empower bystanders and give witnesses of bullying information and confidence to speak out against any wrongdoing that they might encounter.

Much of CRAB’s effort this year was influenced by the Rutgers webcam spying case, in which many college-aged students did not immediately act despite admitting in court that they knew something was wrong. The case unfolded in the trial of Dharun Ravi, who was found guilty earlier this year of invading the privacy of his former roommate, Ridgewood resident Tyler Clementi.
