Cyber bullying
Is it all just hype or is it that our media conscious society can now get information about anything quickly and simply? It is very, very right that we protect out young people and that we make sure that the use of wider technology does not leave them open to abuse in any way from anyone ... but please, let us not blame the technology.
The Government launched its documentation last Friday ... read it here.

I agree with your comments about protecting our young people and not leaving them open to abuse by the wider use of technology. What frustrates me is that I work for a company who can offer a secure instant messaging solution to allow for enclosed social networking. Children who may be experiencing bullying will normally not follow it up by going to their teacher or head for fear of reprisal, allowing them the opportunity of being able to link on a one on one basis through a secure encrypted facility might just make the difference. The frustration comes from decision makers who cannot be bothered to even take a look at it. Possibly because it doesnt fall into one of the framework agreements that we are continually dictated to about following, "Moodle" being a point in question.
By doing nothing is only adding to the problem. Allow the opportunity to prove it does work
