Is your child a cyberbully and if so, what should you do?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-38529437


The story talks about how cyberbullying something that is still going on and how patents can pick up on this. One in five 13-18 year old claims they've been bullied online.

  • "Nobody thinks that their own child is saying unkind things to other children, do they? I let them go on all the social media sites and trusted the children to use it appropriately.
  • "Taking away devices can be counterproductive. It could make the situation worse and encourage them to find other ways to get online. Instead, think about restricting access and take away some privileges if they don't stop the behaviour.

I beleive that that this will always be a problem due to the invention of the Internet and should be dealt with in a specific manner where the child doesn't feel threatened to go online who was being bullied but also for the bully not to commit the crime again.
