An anti-bullying activist with a local connection is “disgusted” by the predatory actions in Manitoba that allegedly claimed the life of young boy.
Former Listowel resident Robbie Frenette says he's been a target for bullies all of his life because he lives with cerebral palsy-- a condition that causes him to walk with a “limp.”
He says the three young boys who allegedly forced 6-year old Adam Keeper into a lake causing his drowning should be dealt with severly.
Frenette-- now a grade twelve student living in New Brunswick-- is working with some teenagers from Listowel on a national campaign to stop bullying but he says they don't have nearly enough support from adults or students.

An anti-bullying activist who once lived in Listowel is urging the feds to deal with young predators harshly.
Robbie Frenette is stepping up his national campaign since a six year old Manitoba boy was allegedly bullied and drowned after being pushed into a lake.
The High School student now living in New Brunswick says Ottawa hasn't replied to his letters or phone calls-- but he's not giving up because the accused Manitoba youth could ``get away with murder`' because they are under the age of 12.
Frenette says students from all across Canada are supporting his campaign-- including two in Listowel-- but he says they don't have nearly enough people involved.
