Sound Off: Your comments 3/31/10

Editor's Note: After last night's AC360°, many of you wrote in to thank Anderson for our series, “Scientology: A history of violence.” We also heard from many of you about our reporting on bullying in schools. Apparently, this is something that has touched quite a lot of you. What do you have to say?

Your expose on Scientology is excellent.

I just wanted to applaud Anderson Cooper and the CNN team for their ongoing Scientology exposé. I know you've only just started, but it's so brilliantly fair, well-researched, and well-executed thus far that I was inspired to send in a note. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for being so brave and airing the piece on Scientology. I pretty certain that these people are bullies and your standing up to them is what a newsman should do. Thank you, you are a good man and have earned my viewership!!!

I want to thank CNN for their latest coverage on bullies in school. My granddaughter had been telling me for days about how she was being picked on. She would get into my car after school crying. I would tell her "you know how some kids are". I would kiss her and hug her but did nothing else After seeing your program I had to cry. Oh my god how could I have been so wrong. After watching your show I spoke to my daughter about this. She spoke to my granddaughter and went to school. They had a conference with the parties involved. My little girl came to my car this afternoon smiling. THANK YOU. GOD BLESS YOU

Anderson, thank you SO much for self-disclosing about your brother's suicide tonight. Not only did it lend some support to the husband/wife you were interviewing, but you validated the experience of everyone who has dealt with this family tragedy. My paternal grandfather killed himself with a shotgun when my father was only 15, and yet that act lived on through my dad and his 4 sisters.

Did I hear South Hadley High School principal Daniel T. Smith correctly? He threatened Alino Cho with the police because she's asking questions that make him uncomfortable, but won't call the police or even intervene when a 15 year old girl is being bullied to death? Is that right? Is that for real? He and the administration clearly are too self absorbed with how bad he and they appear, than to actually feel sorrow for poor little Phoebe Prince's family. Maybe CNN should keep asking those hard questions for months and months on end and see if HE feels bullied? Maybe ONLY then would he conceive a fraction of the terror how Phoebe felt.
