The Brian Lehrer Show | Mar 16, 2015

Alban Boucher, a social worker, activist and dean of students at New Vision High School in Brooklyn and Karen Sobel Lojeski, a professor in the department of technology and society at Stony Brook University, talk about how the "bystander effect," the "no snitching" movement and social media affect the safety and wellness of teenagers.
