DEAR HARRIETTE: I am writing to add to your advice to the mother of a child being cyberbullied, “Cyber Hazing.”
Based on my 20 years of experience teaching middle school, I strongly recommend that any parent in this situation report the incident to the school immediately. Even if the bullying started online, it will inevitably spill over into the school environment.
In my experience, cyberbullying disrupts learning, and most public schools enforce zero-tolerance policies for this reason, regardless of where the bullying began. Digital content is easily shared on campus, allowing the harassment to continue unchecked. Without adult intervention, not only does the bullying continue, but its severity also often escalates.
While no laws may have been broken yet, teens often don’t realize when their actions cross into criminal behavior. Reporting it now can prevent future incidents and educate the bullies and their parents on the serious legal consequences. I’ve seen minors face life-altering repercussions, such as being added to the sex offender registry for inappropriate social media posts used to bully.
Although the bully’s well-being isn’t the main concern of a parent of a bullying victim, by reporting early, you can help stop the behavior before it becomes criminal — and ideally help the bully to change their ways. Ignoring the situation reinforces the idea that they can act without consequences.
Please report this to the school immediately. Based on my years of teaching, I can almost guarantee your daughter is not the bully’s only victim. Be an advocate for her and others by bringing it to the school’s attention right away. — Report It
DEAR REPORT IT: Thank you for your insights. We must protect our children in every way that we can.
