MySpace Faking and Cyber Bullying

Cyber bullying may seem like a fun thing for the person that is doing the bullying, but this most likely leaves the victim feeling isolated and depressed. As a parent you need to take every possible action to prevent this kind of behavior affecting your child’s life.

In many instances cyber bullying can be a group effort. It may be initiated by one person, but before too long there are others that take it upon themselves to intimidate the victim. This can often leave a child feeling very "small" when a group of bullies are on the prowl.

With proper planning, talking to your children about cyber bullying is not as difficult as you may think. In fact, taking the first steps to resolving or discovering this kind of activity will diminish the chances that they will encounter it in the first place.

MySpace Faking and Cyber Bullying

Creating a MySpace account is easy. You sign up and that’s all there is to it. There is nothing to prevent anyone from creating several MySpace accounts.

Cyber bullies are very aware of this and they know that if they take the time to create a bogus or “fake” account and pretend to be someone else that they can wreak havoc on that person. They can create fake blog entries that are demeaning to the person they are bullying, upload insulting pictures, post nasty comments on the victims friends space and so on.

This kind of thing can go on for very long periods of time and will often leave the one who is bullied left in the dark about it until they find the fake account. When they do find the fake account they should tell you immediately, but the fact is that there will be times when your child may not want to show it to you. This is another reason that using monitoring software like Spector Pro is so important. If they do not say anything, you can simply review the MySpace activity and find out without having to ask anyone because Spector Pro will have it recorded.
