[LM_NET] Cyberbullying

[Nancy Willard <nwillard@CSRIU.ORG>]

I am working with a reporter for a newspaper with nation-wide distribution
who is really interested in doing a story on cyberbullying. He has asked if
I could put him into touch with any administrators, teachers, or parents who
might have a story to share.

Could you please contact me off-list if you have been involved in any
incidents that you are willing/able to discuss. If any such incidents have
been reported in your local press, this would also be helpful information.
Because such incidents can cause significant emotional harm to the child
involved I am sure that steps can be taken to preserve that child's privacy.

I think it is important to raise greater public awareness of cyberbullying
and believe this story will help.

I am also working on the development of resources for educators to better
address the concerns.

Nancy
