[LINK] Oh, that evil Internet! (Link Digest, Vol 200, Issue 34)

[Phillip Musumeci]

Crispin,
Your questions are really good and maybe not just for research but also for
education.  I don't know if using questions to trigger reflection/thinking
in this area is already done but it might be a start.

Anyway, some form of your questions to help children be aware of the
different bullying sources followed by some questions asking them who can
help might be a way to boost awareness, especially of their sources of help.
 Another set of questions for parents might also remind them about what to
watch over, and might point them in directions for help (e.g. basic browser
settings, ISP settings, etc.).

If we can spend >=A$44M on filter "tests", maybe we can also produce some
appropriate flyers for parents and children.
Or maybe existing bullying responses need to be broadened to include
nastiness transported via mobile phone and IP technologies.
