Internet safety mock assessment

My darling daughter

Here's a wee pic of my beautiful daughter that was taken last year!!

getting spooked?

My daughter has been really spooking me out recently. She woke up one night last week & told me she saw a shadow of a 'man' & that she was freezing, since then she's been mentioning an invisible 'friend' & that she feels someone blowing on her hair!!!!

Could it be that she has someone 'watching' over her or just a 5 yrs old imagination running away with them??????????

Maybe Mulder & Skully could help me solve this one?!HAHA

Bullying victims

Here's a wee video of some of the victims of bullying!

'Cyberbullying'

What is Cyberbullying?
Cyberbullying is when a child up to a teenager is harrassed, threatened, embarrassed/humiliated or tormented by another child/ren

Why do you think people cyperbully?
It may be that the 'bully' is not very confident or very unhappy in their own life or that they may just want to 'impress' their friends

What should the target do?
The target should report it to their parents, who will takethe appropriate measures to deal with it
What should the school or college do?
The school/college should inform all pupils of the consequences that may occur from cyberbullying.

What should the Government do? The Government should place tougher new laws regarding ISP's placing tougher monitoring etc on their websites

New laws have just been passed to deal with cyberbullies. Do they go far enough?
I don't feel that they go far enough as they need to pass tougher laws for that the ISP's need to follow along with some other strategy's
