Cyber Bullying Leading to Criminal Actions

In this journal I got from the University of Alaska Anchorage library website has and interesting and alerting topic about cyber bullying. There are certain rules on cyber bullying such as in February, 2003 the NSW Crimes Amendment (School Protection) Act was active. Stating that they would provide protection when a person  assaults, stalks, harasses or intimidates any school staff or student while attending a school. Since the act only provides protection at school it does not say anything when they are at home or on the way home, just states they have to be on school premises when the attack happens. The purpose of this journal is that cyber bullying can be a big thing, not only personal but criminal. The usefulness of this journal is that it shows if you bully someone online there are terrible consequences. Even though children think that bullying online is funny and ok. They don`t know about the consequences that will happen. So parents I can`t stress enough that please prevent your child from bullying online.
