TX Senate Considers Domestic Violence Education Bill

Texas senators are considering a bill that would require the state's public schools to provide education about domestic and dating violence. The bill is named for Christine Blubaugh of Grand Prairie, who was 16 years old when her ex-boyfriend murdered her in 2000.

Christine's relatives and Grand Prairie police officers spoke in favor of the bill on Tuesday morning before the Senate education committee.
