Privacy and SurveillanceHow to Deal with Cyber Bullying
It used to be that bullying is only a serious issue in the school grounds. Once out of school, a child may feel that he/she are already safe, but there's a new kind of bullying that has already resulted to the loss of many lives in the past without the need to happen inside school grounds. This kind of bullying, called cyber bullying, uses the power of the Internet to spread rumors, harass, and take the living days out of many kids and teenagers.
Cyber bullying should be taken seriously. As already mentioned, there have already been cases of suicide in the past, fueled by bullying through social networks like Facebook and MySpace. Cyber bullying occurs when a child or a teen is sent mean and hurtful messages online or via text or even potentially embarrassing photos and videos. Rumors and fake accounts pretending to be the victim are also the hallmarks of a cyber bullying case. As a parent, the most effective way that you can deal with cyber bullying is by keeping open communication lines with your child. By getting aware of the situation of your child, and making him/her aware of your possible courses of action, you can avert any potential situation that will endanger his/her self-appreciation and safety. It is important to let your child know not to give away personal information like e-mail addresses, addresses, and phone numbers to people who ask it over the Internet. This early on, your child should already know the importance of Internet privacy. Cyber bullies are also known to launch "campaigns" wherein he/she sets up sites circulating unfounded rumors, that search engines pick up. If you think that your child is becoming a victim of this campaign, contact the search engine provided (e.g. Google) to block these sites. If your child is receiving harassing messages, warn the sender and report it to the ISP. Lastly, have a copy of all these communication and damaging webpages as evidence when the situation gets so serious. In that case, you should already report it to your local police authorities (in most jurisdictions, schools have no control over activities done off-grounds and during off-hours even though they concern students) so that ample action may be executed.
