West Virginia vs. Cyberbullies
Another state is proactively fighting cyberbullying: West Virginia’s Senate passed a bill making it illegal to send obscene or harassing electronic communication to others. According to WHSV, the bill passed the Senate unanimously and now heads back to the House, as the Senate made one minor change. Supporters are ruling out cries of 1st Amendment breaching because the bill exempts comments that are simple criticisms.
While schools are battling to keep cyberbullying out of their systems, parents can fight to eliminate it altogether by monitoring their child’s Internet activity at home. If you use PC Pandora 6.0, you will see first hand if your child is a victim – or if they happen to be the bully! If the latter is the case, you need to intervene and stop it before the schools and law enforcement do!
