    Prosecutor Taylor initiated in December 2004 a county wide conference on domestic violence and bullying prevention.  Since that time a county wide working group composed of educators, community activist and law enforcement meet periodically to plan and develop programs to educate school administrators, teachers, students and parents on bullying and how it can be prevented.  Captain Marie Hayes of the Prosecutor's Office heads the office's community outreach program along with Victim Witness Coordinator Claire McArdle. Captain Hayes and Claire McArdle have received training and are available to teach the teachers and meet with parent organizations. The Prosecutor's Office also offers presentations for students, teachers, school administrators and parents on Cyber Safety.  For information or to request a presentation, please contact Captain Hayes.

Cyber Bullying Prevention Tips for Parents and Children

 

   Cyberbullying is important because it is the newest form of intimidation and harassment among students that is becoming increasingly evident across the nation.

 

    Regarded as the newest form of bullying, Cyberbullying is defined as when a student uses information and communication technologies such as email, cell phone and pager text messaging, instant messaging, defamatory personal websites and defamatory online personal polling websites to harass, humiliate, intimidate and/or threaten other students on the Internet.

 

    Across the United States, teenagers are increasingly using the Internet to deliver derogatory photographs and cruel and harmful messages, which can include racial, religious, cultural and sexual slurs.

 

    The striking difference between old-fashioned bullying and Cyberbullying is that Cyberbullying can occur both on and off school grounds, making the victims extremely vulnerable and susceptive to this new type of bullying at virtually all times of the day.

 

    Furthermore, another difference is that, with Cyberbullying, the bully does not see the immediate impact that his or her bullying has on the victim.  Bullies do not see the harm they have caused their victims, which make them less capable of actually feeling remorseful or empathetic to the victim for their actions.

 

    It is extremely important that both educators and law enforcement personnel are aware of the dangerous threat that Cyberbullying poses to the youth of America.
