About this program
Our new Web site and educational program will launch on September 15th. By that time my latest book, “The Parent’s Guide to Protecting Your Children in Cyberspace” originally published by McGraw-Hill, will be updated and online without charge to our site visitors. In the meantime, we wanted to share our new cyberbullying awareness, prevention and help information with you. We have information about how to avoid becoming a cyberbully or a victim of cyberbullies. It’s very easy to lash out when you are angry or frustrated online, and we have methods of helping you think before you click “send.” We have information about privacy and security settings and some software you can use to gather important evidence you may need. Real stories about real cyberbullying cases have been included as well, to help you understand how they happen and what you can do about it.
We have quizzes, worksheets and materials for parents, school administration and educators. I have even built a quick legal guide on cyberbullying and what you can do to get help when you or your children are victimized online. Our friends at Cybersmart.org have been kind enough to loan a few of their lesson plans on cyberbullying while we construct our own. As always, our information and materials are free and all downloadable or otherwise available online.
Telling the difference between flaming and illegal cyberstalking isn’t always easy. But we have created a few ways you can try and make that determination, and where to go if you find that you or someone you care for is being victimized. In order to make a report, whether to law enforcement, the school or the cyberbully’s ISP, you’ll need to make sure you have the information you need and know where to find the source of the cyberbullying. Ways to report this to the ISP are included as well. (And if you want one-to-one help, send an e-mail to our cyberstalking help team at . They will sort out how serious the problem is and help you resolve it.)
While we complete the remainder of our cyberbullying information, law enforcement agencies and school administrators should reach out to me directly with any questions or request for help
The cyberbullying resource page for law enforcement will follow shortly.
If you want to help by joining as a volunteer, making a donation or sponsoring one of our programs, we welcome your help - visit our Super Heroes and Super Powers wanted page. We’re all in this together and it’s all about the kids. They need access to this remarkable technology for school, careers and life. It’s our job to help keep them safe while they are there and teach them to become responsible cybercitizens.
