Carson’s City Council voted unanimously this week to make bullying a criminal offense. The measure won’t be finalized until later this month, but if it goes forward, bullying in Carson would be punished as a misdemeanor. That could mean court hearings, fines, even jail time. But how does a city enforce a no-bullying law?
