Molak family pushing for 'David's Law'

SAN ANTONIO -- There's something very strange that happens when a loved one dies.

Time doesn't stop. It begins to blur.

On January 4, 2016, David Molak took his life after his family says he was relentlessly bullied by dozens of his former peers.

And on January 6, David's older brother Cliff poured his heart out on Facebook.

The 24-year-old spoke out against cyberbullying, writing "In today's age, bullies don't push you into lockers, they don't tell their victims to meet them behind the school's dumpster after class, they cower behind user names and fake profiles from miles away constantly berating and abusing good, innocent people"

More than 21,000 shares later, the post has reached all corners of the United States, even crossed oceans into countries like England.

"In posting that post, that was sort of my way of coping," said Cliff. "I had no idea it was going to blow up or go viral."

Since writing it, Cliff says countless numbers of people have reached out to him.

"People tell me that their son was bullied too," said Cliff. "Or there could be a peer of David's telling me what David meant to them. Other people have messaged me saying they too have gone through what David did."

And like a boomerang, it all circles back.

"The support is awesome, but it's also alarming how many people are going through the same type of thing that David did and nothing is really going on to try and prevent these situations from happening," Cliff said.

Although there is no federal law that specifically applies to bullying, many states have passed anti-bullying laws and policies.

In Texas, the rules come from school districts, but it's hard to punish students when incidents happen off campus, which cyberbullying certainly applies to.

Victims can file harassment charges with police; however, bullying charges are not an option.

"The thing with the old school type of bullying is that when you go home you're in a safe place, but today bullying never stops. It's relentless," said Cliff.

That's why David's family is committed to creating what they call "David's Law."

"I want to hold those people accountable who use social media as a weapon," he said.

The law can't turn back time for David, but it can change the future for others.

"I would just ask kids, how do you want to remembered? Do you want to be remembered as a bully or someone who inspired other people to do good?" Cliff said.

At this time San Antonio police have no new updates in their investigation into what led up to David's tragic suicide.

David's family doesn't know what the law would look like just yet , but they have so far raised more than $75,000 on a GoFundMe page which they will be using to help make "David's Law" a reality.
