Violent Threats and Cyber Bullying
Violent Threats and Cyber Bullying
Being online can provide many with a false sense of security when it comes to “real world” actions.
Threats of violence are extremely common online. It can be something as simple as your child providing something personal and identifiable on their blog or profile. The cyber bully can do just a small amount of reading and then post comments like “I know where you live”, or “I am going to kill you”, or they could even say they are “watching them”.
This is a terrifying thing for an adult to deal with let alone a child. Threats of violence need to be handled immediately before a threat becomes a reality.
You should never take chances that the situation will go away.
Installing monitoring software like Spector Pro is the best way to find out if this terrorizing form of cyber bullying is happening to your child.
With monitoring software you may record all of these places where there is a chance a cyber bully is lurking around waiting to find someone to pick on.
In many cases if you talk to the bullies’ parents about what is happening, the issue will resolve itself, but if necessary you will have the ability to print out the recorded events and provide them to your local law enforcement agency, or your child’s school guidance counselor.

Is online bullying fun?
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.
Is cyber bullying a group effort?
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.
Learn what to do
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.
Testimonials:
"When bullying is done over the Internet you think you can get away with it because you don't see the emotional reaction as if it were done face to face. You don't see the person crying and being upset. So it is much easier to be more mean and hurtful. When I received those e-mails It took me long to recover but thank to my Mom who found out right on time I'm back to being my self."
