BRUNSWICK, MD - The family of a high school sophomore who was bullied in front of a WHAG reporter is holding a separate homecoming dance to promote anti-bullying.
On Monday, tenth-grader Preston Deener was getting ready for an interview about bullying across from Brunswick High School, when another boy ran up and began hitting him in the head and chased him back to the school.
WHAG immediately showed the video to school administrators and a sheriff's deputy.
