SPRINGFIELD — The mother of an 11-year-old Springfield boy who committed suicide because he was allegedly bullied at school is scheduled to testify before Congress.
Sirdeaner Walker is scheduled to talk about school safety on Wednesday before the U.S. House of Representatives subcommittees on Early Childhood, Elementary and Secondary Education and Healthy Families and Communities.
Walker’s son, Carl Walker-Hoover, hung himself in the family home in April.
