Parent: Have you ever heard of Cyber bullying?
Elizabeth: Is it a cloth shop?
Parent: No, it is when children can be ridiculed in social media exchanges. Or, in online gaming, their player personas can be subjected to incessant attack, turning the game from an imaginative adventure into a humiliating ordeal that escalate into cyber bullying across multiple platforms and in real-life. The best foundation for protecting against cyber bullying is to be comfortable talking to your children about what is going on in their lives online and in in real-life and how to stand up to bullies. Cyber security software and specialized apps for monitoring your child’s online and mobile activity can help, but nothing will replace an open dialog.
