[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 250692, member: 1991"] Not knowing what your kids do is no excuse especially once someone else has let you know what is going on. If the parents are not sufficiewntly computer-literate to keep up with their kids when they do the wrong thing, then those parents need to go do a course, or remove computers from the home entirely. The nasty precedents have already been set, with the girl who killed herself after her former friend's mother set her up. The community response to that should be telling people thet cyberbullying is bad, it's actionable and there are no excuses such as "It's only teasing," or "I didn't mean it to get out of hand." Would talking to the school help? Because chances are, there is some use of school computer hours or school server at some level in accessing the sites. Besides, they attend the same school and they are targetting classmates. Even if the school can't actually do anything, they perhaps need to know so they can be aware of how their services risk being abused. Go put the boot in. This is unacceptable and by you taking action you are showing your daughter that she deserves better, that she is worth fighting for and that bullies need to be stood up to. If retaliation happens, again take action. Eventually the message has to get through, that retaliation will also incur punishment and they should eventually get the message and stop. Marg [/QUOTE]
