  • What's the Parents' Role in This?
  • Parents need to be the one trusted place kids can go when things go wrong online and offline. Yet they often are the one place kids avoid when things go wrong online
  • Most children will avoid telling their parents about a cyberbullying incident fearing they will only make things worse

  • Parents need to be supportive of your child during this time
  • Don't brush it off.
  • It is crucial that you are there to provide the necessary support and love. Make them feel secure
  • Parents also need to understand that a child is just as likely to be a cyberbully as a victim of cyberbullying and often go back and forth between the two roles during one incident
  • If there is any indication that personal contact information has been posted online, or any threats are made to your child, you must run.do not walk, to your local law enforcement agency (not the FBI).

  • What will be the impact of the Deaf Child's Bill of Rights on my child's education? An outcome of the Deaf Child's Bill of Rights is that your child's IEP (Individual Education Plan) will be directly affected by this law in the form of a "Communication Plan". The Communication Plan is the document referred to in the rules that contains an action plan that the IEP team (especially parents) has created to address specific areas of a student's social and emotional development. All too often, IEPs do not thoroughly address, if at all, these critical areas of growth for a child who is deaf or hard of hearing. The Communication Plan creates a mechanism for having conversations and taking action where gaps are identified in these areas. And the Communication Plan will serve as a quality control monitor, making sure that a more comprehensive, qualitative view is taken of each child's experience in school.

  • What is the Deaf Child's Bill of Rights? In May of 1996, the General Assembly approved Colorado State Law 96-1041, The Deaf Child's Bill of Rights. The Bill, sponsored by Representative Mo Keller, who is an educator of the deaf, was strongly supported by parents of children who are deaf or hard of hearing, and members of the deaf community. With its passage, program options for deaf students in the state of Colorado have been strengthened and preserved. In light of numerous states nationwide that have eliminated program options in favor of full inclusion models, the passage of 1041 is considered a victory indeed for deaf and hard of hearing students who benefit from options.

  • Cyberbullying by proxy is when a cyberbully gets someone else to do their dirty work. Most of the time they are unwitting accomplices and don't know that they are being used by the cyberbully. Cyberbullying by proxy is the most dangerous kind of cyberbullying because it often gets adults involved in the harassment and people who don't know they are dealing with a kid or someone they know.
  • "Warning" or "Notify Wars" are an example of cyberbullying by proxy. Kids click on the warning or notify buttons on their IM screen or e-mail or chat screens, and alert the ISP or service provider that the victim has done something that violates their rules

  • The most typical way a cyberbullying by proxy attack occurs is when the cyberbully gets control of the victim's account and sends out hateful or rude messages to everyone on their buddy list pretending to be the victim
  • Cyberbullying by proxy sometimes starts with the cyberbully posing as the victim
  • If the cyberbully can make it look like the victim is doing something wrong, and the parents are notified, the parents will punish the victim

STOP cyberbullying: What is cyberbullying, exactly? - 0 views

cyberbullying

shared by Lindsay Mullen on 15 Feb 12 - Cached
  • "Cyberbullying" is when a child, preteen or teen is tormented, threatened, harassed, humiliated, embarrassed or otherwise targeted by another child, preteen or teen using the Internet, interactive and digital technologies or mobile phones
  • The methods used are limited only by the child's imagination and access to technology
  • Children have killed each other and committed suicide after having been involved in a cyberbullying incident
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Cyberbullying is usually not a one time communication, unless it involves a death threat or a credible threat of serious bodily harm. Kids usually know it when they see it, while parents may be more worried about the lewd language used by the kids than the hurtful effect of rude and embarrassing posts.
  • When schools try and get involved by disciplining the student for cyberbullying actions that took place off-campus and outside of school hours, they are often sued for exceeding their authority and violating the student's free speech right.
  • It typically can result in a child losing their ISP or IM accounts as a terms of service violation. And in some cases, if hacking or password and identity theft is involved, can be a serious criminal matter under state and federal law.
  • Cyberbullying may rise to the level of a misdemeanor cyberharassment charge, or if the child is young enough may result in the charge of juvenile delinquency
  • Schools can be very effective brokers in working with the parents to stop and remedy cyberbullying situations

    My next door neighbor's elementary school uses this. It is an online website that their school uses to keep track of their reading skills. It is nice because it is for not only the teacher and students, but also the student's parents'.

  • Telling the difference between flaming, cyber-bullying and harassment and cyberstalking (A guide for law enforcement)
  • It’s not always easy to tell these apart, except for serious cases of cyberstalking, when you “know it when you see it.” And the only difference between “cyberbullying” and cyber-harassment is the age of both the victim and the perpetrator. They both have to be under-age
  • But the closer it comes to real life threats the more likely you have to get involved as law enforcement
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • We recommend that law enforcement agents ask parents the following questions. Their answers will help guide you when to get involved and when to recommend another course of action.
  • The kind of threat:
  • The frequency of the threats:
  • The source of the threats
  • The nature of the threats:
  • The more repeated the communications are, the greater the threats (or enlarging this to include third-parties) and the more dangerous the methods, the more likely law enforcement or legal process needs to be used. If personal contact information is being shared online, this must be treated very seriously.
