CALDWELL COUNTY, N.C. — A billboard in Caldwell County is getting a lot of attention.
The only two words written on it are "Big Hugs" and they are meant for local teenagers in the area.
Sherri Reichling and a group of local mothers are starting their own social media campaign to show local teenagers, including her own 16-year-old that acts of kindness are more important.
"Our boys have a Youtube Channel and they were doing some crazy stunts and we decided, let's step back from doing that and let's do something positive," Reichling said.
Watch the video above as Channel 9's Dave Faherty met with the mother behind the message, who hopes to change what teenagers post on social media.
