You’re on the internet daily. So are they: Cyber-Bullies. How can you protect yourself? Join EGUSD’s Gail Desler and Social Media Club Sacramento (SMCSac) for an informative panel discussion on September 30, 2014.
In preparation for Bullying Prevention Month in October, Social Media Club Sacramento is hosting a panel discussion to discuss the threat of cyberbullying, how to avoid it (cybersaftey) and what to do when faced with a cyberbully. Cyberbullying is a real threat, children have killed each other and committed suicide after having been involved in a cyberbullying incident.
If you are unfamiliar with the term, “cyberbullying” is when a child or teen is tormented, threatened, harassed, humiliated, embarrassed or otherwise targeted by another child, preteen or teen using the internet, interactive technologies (like gaming systems) or mobile phones. It must involve a minor on both sides, or at least have been instigated by a minor against another minor.
The content of the discussion for both adults, parents and adult guardians of children, not for young children.
