Meet: Kameron Jacobsen - Kindness Above Malice.

7/5/2011

Recently, I was surfing the internet and reading more horrible stories on bullying. I came across a website called "Kindness Above Malice" and this website is The Jacobsen family tribute to their son  Kameron Jacobsen who's precious life was cut-short due to "bullycide" (suicide inflicted because of bullying). 

This website shares Kameron's story, pictures and much more. His family has pledged to continue on his legacy by being a voice and have even started a foundation as their way of trying to help banish bullying.

I talked to Kameron's mom via email and she was such a sweet woman, she offered so many words of encouragement to LaNiyah and us that I couldn't help but want to help spread their  message and tell to you about her son Kameron.


- LaToya

"It is a very difficult process to write about my son’s life, but my hope is that you become a bit more familiar with him and you realize that he is the same as any young boy. They are all loved, they are all our sons. They all have dreams, they all have fears. They sometimes cry and sometimes hide their tears."

-Kevin Jacobsen Sr.
