PROTECTING YOUNG PEOPLE FROM HAZING

As high schoolers and college students head back to school for the fall, experts are warning parents to be on the lookout for signs their children may be getting hazed. Hazing is defined an activity that “humiliates, degrades, abuses, or endangers” an individual seeking to join a group – which means parents of students looking to join Greek life or sports teams may want to be particularly alert. While hazing expert Professor Pietro Sasso warns that hazing is becoming “more violent and more physical”, it can often include a social media element as well. Correspondent Leigh Waldman has all the details – including the warning signs parents need to look out for – in a 3pET PKG with FREE custom talkbacks from New York City.
