Cyberbullying

I strongly believe that those that engage in cyberbullying are cowards.  They hide behind the internet and often use fake accounts to commit these crimes.  It is hard to track and prosecute.  Thankfully, there is more awareness, and schools are beginning to punish students involve in this behavior.  I am not sure whether we actually have laws in place, but I know that some cases have been prosecuted.  Sadly, teens are often more affected and some have taken their lives.  I think it is very important for parents to be involve in their children internet usage.   I have a teen daughter, and my husband often checks sites she has visited.  I also check her phone texts.
