Cyberbullying: Bibliography

1. Cyberbullying for Teens
Written by Ben Joseph in 2022 is oft times quoted in Kidshealth, and does a good job of
covering the depth and breadth of cyberbullying and how it evolved from classical bullying to
the on-line and cell phone (social media) tactics and practices.
2. Affairs (ASPA), A. S. for P.
Steps to take for documenting and reporting cyberbullying. Involve law enforcement if the
cyberbullying reaches or contains any of these levels.
<> Threats of violence
<> Child pornography or sending sexually explicit messages or photos
<> Taking a photo or video of someone in a place where he or she would expect privacy
<> Stalking and hate crimes
3. Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3)
Now it gets real, because when you do an IC3 you are on a webpage created by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation [FBI]. How to file an IC3 complaint to push the cyberbullying that is
happening into the legal ‘world.’ This page tabs a number of topics from Consumer Alerts to
Common Scams, all worthy of note. But the first tab “File a Complaint” may get the most hits.
As I said, this is where it gets real. When the report is filed, by filling out the forms and pressing
enter, a master report is generated. That report then goes an FBI analyst who determines which
local, state, and federal agencies should be involved, reformats the complaint as necessary and
sends it to those police departments, states computer crime divisions, and federal agencies as
required by the level/type of the complaint

4. 17 Scary Cyberbullying Statistics
While this is a blog, Horwath [author of the article] has done excellent research IMHO on
cyberbullying, to the point he calls it a pandemic – and for a good reason.
Physical threats and sexual harassment online has gone up 100% in the last 10 years. Over 60%
of youths [18-29] have been cyberbullied, with middle schoolers aged [12-16] being twice as
likely to ATTEMPT SUICIDE as their classmates.
5. Southern Ohio schools define cyberbullying
As the target group most negatively affected by cyberbullying, I decided to include the ‘best’
IMHO school site in my references. Middle of the country, Ohio, with no major cities and lots of
farmland is often looked to for what legalists call ‘the reasonable man.’ In a complaint or defense
the argument is raised ‘how would a reasonable person’ feel about ‘X?’ While X can range from
pornography to rudeness, a middle of the road opinion must exist. Call it the average Joe/Jill on
the street opinion, it helps frame arguments and eliminate extreme opinions. By way of example,
Michela Angelo’s statue of David and Rodan’s Thinker have very visible male genitalia. Neither
are considered pornographic by the ‘reasonable person’ standard. Likewise, the Venis de milo
and the Brazen Liberty coin both have an exposed female breast, and also are not considered
pornography.
Ohio recounts the fact that cyberbullying first appeared in the English language in 1998 and was
defined as "electronic posting of mean-spirited messages. " The definition has evolved as the
Internet has evolved. It now may include ‘done through the use of digital devices like cell
phones, computers, and tablets’ and the federal definition of ‘the willful and repeated acts to
inflict harm through the use of computers, cell phones, or other electronic devices.’
Summation of the definition, electronic communications that are intimidating and/or threatening
in nature IMHO.
As I said in the first paper, this is personal. I have a daughter that was being cyberbullied
by her ex-boyfriend. I filed and IC3 complaint when he threatened to hurt my daughter, myself
and my husband – and graphically explained how the harm would look – by cutting himself and
sending those pictures to my daughter. He used similar pictures and videos to manipulate my
daughter and try to keep her as his girlfriend. He used such statements as ‘I wont stop cutting
myself until you tell me you love me and will always be mine.’
Less than a week after filing the IC3 the local police had a detective show up at our
house. While the IC3 had the images, videos, and texts, the local police wanted to verify their
verasity, and download copies to prevent anyone from photoshopping and altering the evidence.
My husband says I should do a video like the ones some stalked/abused teenage girls
have done. I believe it was week 3 or 4 you had one of them in the assignment/information
section.
