what causes bullying and harassment? --- We have been discussing the effects of bullying and harassment of children online as a product of cyber activities as a major consequence/side-effect of internet technology. We acknowledge it is a serious issue which sometimes leads to both emotional and physical harm to children. Question: Have we therefore considered assisting children with psychological and emotional assistance online or making these subject areas a key aspect in helping develop remedial action through training and awareness sessions? Since we seem to have no control over pedophiles and those who seek to harm children (including dysfunction children from dysfunctional and possibly functional homes), how do we assist?
