Text 2 Stop is a resource for students to report bulling with just the tap of their smart phone.
 
The program was started as a pilot program in Queen Anne's County Public Schools. It's since been adopted county-wide.
 
Students can remain anonymous and have a conversation with someone who will pass their information to the school's counselors and principal. 
 
It's now expanding to more districts in Maryland.  Alvin Butler, CEO of Text 2 Stop tells ABC2's In Focus what's next for the program.
