Is your child being cyber-bullied?

According to a recent magazine I read, children on the Internet are being cyber-bullied. A definition of cyber-bullying is a person who uses the Internet to intimidate or harass someone. An e-mail message with a phony from: address is a common way to reach someone without identifying the sender.

One way to keep your eyes on your child's Internet activity is to keep the computer in a common area--some place out in the open as in the family room where everyone gathers around to watch TV or to do a family activity. 

If you find that your child is being cyber-bullied, you should keep these emails. See the links below for information like what can be done to stop the cyber-bullying and what you can do to help your child.
