Childnet International, an organization dedicated to “working with others to make the Internet a great and safe place for children” has released a free video to “sensitize young people to the pain and hurt which can be caused by cyberbullying.”
The video is effective. My daughter immediately responded by putting it on her Elferkid blog because it was “so sad.” Now, it’s making the rounds in her IM buddy list.
And there’s more.
On the digizen.org, you’ll also find resource material that includes lesson plans and a documentary video about one student group’s response.
Show this video to your child, and help put a stop to cyberbullying.
