Young Social Activist Shares The Spotlight With Her Family


Meet The Kruk Family It's day 2 of filming and we decided to spend the day with Alye at her home hanging out with her mother (Audra Kruk), stepfather (Jason Kruk), and younger brother (Dylan).

For eighth-grade Connecticut student Alye Pollack, daily life at Bedford Middle School involved being tormented and called names by her classmates. The relentless teasing had made Pollack depressed; she had even considered cutting to cope with the pain.

Now her mother shares a very personal message against bullying and discusses the impact of Alye's YouTube video, which had drawn the attention of news outlets like CBS' "The Early Show" and over a half million viewers offline and online.
