This is a paraphrased summary based on a French news report aired today: A couple of years after making headlines in the USA, Cyber-Bullying is now being highlighted in the British media. SMS, email and Internet chats are the main channels used to deliver offensive and humiliating messages to targeted children and young Teens. In a worse case scenario, a schoolchild is harassed by hundreds of cruel retorts over a period of months. The psychological damage is severe, occasionally leading to suicide. Often, the perpetrators are anonymous, which aggravates the situation for the innocent victims.
Are we prepared to let these practices slide?
