A pair of Lower Bucks County internet radio host are set to tackle a very important topic on Easter evening.

Fairless Hills resident Tom Heinsinger and his co-host, Paul Brahan, who broadcast comedy-centric The Big-T & Paul Show, will devote this week’s episode to the serious topic of school bullying.

The topic comes after Heinsinger found a photo of a Wisconsin father and his sixth-grade son holding a sign denouncing bullying on Friday.

“I was once bullied as a child and I know how it feels,” the radio host said. “If I can be a voice for those who don’t have one, maybe I can help little by little put an end to an on going epidemic.”

The evening’s guest will be Matthew Bent, the father in the picture Heinsinger found online.

Heinsinger said since the photo was posted last week on Facebook, the image and story has gone viral across the internet. The Facebook photo and message has been shared more than 450,000 times, as of Sunday morning.

The Fond du Lac Reporter in Wisconsin reports that Brent’s son was  attacked in school and a school police officer determined no legal action could be taken against the attackers. The school district told the newspaper in statement they were still investigating the matter.
