Topic : 01/08 Cyber Bullies

After watching the first 5 minutes of this show, I was convinced that if this so called mother loved her daughter and had been more supportive this would not have happened. The mother is really really cold.

I have a 13 year old daughter myself. If this had to happen to my daughter my love and support would have averted anything like this. Besides my daughter is so loved by her parents that she has no need to look for love else where. Anyway, these so called parents who shouldn't have kids in my opinion should have put a block on the internet like we have.

Who fault is this really???????

There is first sympathy to the family who lost their daughter. I know kids can be really cruel and I have seen it only get worse over the years since the 1970's.  The message that is getting out there by some people is that statement that really irratates me to nolimits is that " It takes a Village to raise a child". The problem is that people have these children and then let them run wild expecting those of that imaginary Village to be the ones that teaches them. First of all, they brought the children into the world so they should be smart enough to know that they are resposible for their childrens up bringing. It is not my responsibility to teach them manners on how to be have. It also does not help that the schools can not spend time in taking care as to help in making things for all kids safe since we have this mental atitude that no one dare say a thing to our children.

     A word of advice to those parents who want to let their children have a computer and the use of the internet. First of all the computer should never be located in a childs room as it needs to be in a centeral place so those parents whose children use the computer and internet can see what they are doing and who they are talking to. I first started off with watching everything that the children did with the computer, watched who they talked to and then fooled myself that they were wise enough to not do worng so we did that bad thing of placing a computer so they can use the net on their own in a room on their own. We found attitudes were changing and the way the  interaction with the family was going. 

   I regret that we allowed that to happen and warn others to not follow pursuit. I have seen a lovely daughter who was well mannered go to rude all the time and sassy.  If they have the computer in their room move it to a more travelled location as we can not always blame others for what has happened as we allowed ourselves to fall into a lull of ease with out even thinking of how much danger is out there.

   I don't understand why the mother of the girl who hung herself didn't shut the computer off before it got so bad. If someone is sending your child abusive emails or comments on myspace you should delete them as a friend and block them from your space. I have a myspace page and know that if you don't want to talk to someone or hear what they have to say you don't have to. The mother should have stepped in and got her daughter off the computer. I feel very sad that this kind of thing happens. As for the woman and daughter who created the fake boy on myspace, they should feel very ashamed of themselves and they will be judged in the end by God!
