Online Bullying Becoming More Prevalent
At Ohio.com, cyber bullying, and the crowd of "little predators" who perpetrate such behavior, are addressed as a serious threat to the mental and emotional well-being of any child, as well as their academic performance.
And the stories recounted in the article are quite disturbing; one high school had an online "trash the person of the week" site where each student would add a hateful comment, or even a demeaning photograph, about a particular classmate.
This harassment can also be more than emotionally traumatizing to a child, in some cases they become threatening, or can take on a sexual nature. And, with up to "30 percent" of all bullying activities now happening online, online bullying is something all parents should be aware of.
Ah, but there's the issue.
Police and educators can't do anything about online bullying if parents don't know it's happening, and many kids are too humiliated to speak up about what's happening to them.
Here's another good example of why WebWatcher is so helpful for today's busy parents. WebWatcher's email recording, chat recording, and website recording capabilities make it perfect for parents who want to know who is talking to their kids, and what's being said. It's invisible while running, and it can even be accessed by busy mom's and dad's from a remote computer.
Bullying is bad enough, but with online bullying kids can't even find respite in their own home.
