[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 111029, member: 831"] Unfortunately, I am all too familiar with cyber bullying. It's horrible. Daughter just went through a very bad epidsode with girls that she had hung out with just the night before. It was coordinated and vicious. Text messages and one very cruel 3way voice mail. And it involved photoshopping pictures on myspace and turning them into something sexual and vulgar. It started with one girl as the ringleader and then involved about 10 kids. Though, they were very careful not to make threats because that would bring the cops. I took screen shots of everything. I can't express how devastating it is to see your child in pics like that even if they are photo shopped. The kids involved ranged from 14 to 17. The Parents couldn't deny their "little darlings" would "never do that" when the PROOF is right in front of their eyes. So, always take screen shots and save them. Always save everything so there is no denial. However, my problem was that I could never get a hold of many of the parents. Most were never home. So, I can see why these kids do this kind of thing with immpunity. I did talk with one set of parents that were shocked. Gee, ya think? The kid had unlimited internet in her bedroom. They promised to deal with it, but she was still bothering daughter through the computers of others. I never could get through to the ringleader's Mother. Never home after several attempts, and ringleader would hang up on me whenever I called. I'm sure all messages I left were intercepted and erased by ringleader. I did get to speak with another parent whose attitude was like, "whatever". She was very detached and told me she told her son that his behavior was "inappropriate". Yeah, right. That was the understatement of the year. Twit. [img]:grrr:[/img] Then, it got worse. Ringleader and cohorts created a separate Myspace ALA slam page dedicated to embarrassing Daughter. I reported it, but it took Myspace a week to remove it. I went to the school, they told them to stop, but ultimately said they were powerless because it didn't involve actual threats involving the school. Yes, it was all over school. Email and IMs at least you can contact their ISP. Unfortunately, laws and parents haven't caught up with technology. Something really horrible is going to have to happen to more people to take notice. [/QUOTE]
