Indiana Mom Asks Stores Not to Sell 'Bully' Game
VALPARAISO, Ind. (AP) The coordinator of a Valparaiso school anti-bullying initiative is asking local stores not to stock a new video game called "Bully."
The game allows players to assume the role of a student who lashes back at those who have picked on him.
Brigid McLinn says the game is inappropriate after a machete attack upon Valparaiso High School students by a classmate two years ago in the northwestern Indiana city.
She has contacted district administrators about involving parent/teacher groups in letter-writing campaigns to local big-box retailers.
The game released this week is rated "T" for teenagers age 13 and older.
Target Corporation says it will continue to carry the came. A spokesman for the company that developed the game declined comment.
