Parents and teachers can take several actions to help address cyberbullying. For parents, this includes talking to their children, monitoring their online activities, and addressing any bullying incidents directly with the school. For teachers, key actions are assessing cyberbullying at their school, developing clear policies, providing staff training, teaching digital citizenship skills to students, and partnering with parents. Addressing cyberbullying requires cooperation between parents, teachers, and the whole school community.

The first line of defence is the trust built up between trusted adults & children. If we approach young people with an open mind, our age is no barrier to working with children (so long as we don’t try to be cool / acting younger than our chronological age).
Be Yourself – “Real Recognises Real”
Children need to be able to rely upon their Foster Carers / Social Workers / & other trusted adults, however, too often, these people change with regular frequency which adds to the challenges for children to open up & tell a trusted adult if they have concerns or feel vulnerable.

Parents should pay close attention to the impact of the Internet on students' social and spiritual
values. This is because children cannot ignore the influence of the Internet, which is a powerful
tool. As a result, parents must teach their children how to use social networking sites and the
Internet safely. Additionally, they should educate their children about the advantages of
technology and encourage them to make wise decisions.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

1. What can Parents and Teachers
do?
How can Parents and Teachers positively get
involved with the issue of Cyber-bullying.
By: Joanna Nieves
2. What can Parents Do?
The latest research shows that one in three
children are directly involved in bullying as a
perpetrator, victim, or both. And many of those
who are not directly involved witness others being
bullied on a regular basis. No child is immune—
kids of every race, gender, grade and socio-
economic sector are impacted. But it doesn’t
have to be this way. As parents we have the
power to help reduce bullying.

If you think your child is being bullied, it's
time to take action…now. Bullying is not
something that just goes away on its own, it is not
something that children can just “work out”
without mediation, and it is not something kids will
just naturally outgrow. If you know (or think) that
your child is being bullied, your participation is

behavior can be a tough blow to any parent.
Before you get angry or upset, take a breath.
Social skills develop gradually over the school
years, and for many children, this includes
learning and experimenting with power and
relationships. It’s important that you work steadily
and compassionately to get your child back on
track. There’s a lot you, as a parent, can do to
help your child learn from the situation and
become a more productive and supportive part of

8. Statistics about Parents and Cyber-
bullying
According to two surveys—one of principals and
one of parents conducted by Education.com and
NAESP, only 31 percent of parents feel fully
prepared to handle the situation when their child
has been a victim of bullying. Parents feel slightly
more confident about what to do when their child
has witnessed bullying (40 percent) or when their
child has bullied other children (43 percent).
The Education.com survey also revealed that
only 27% of parents believe their school's staff
and parents are well aligned on anti-bullying
efforts while the survey of NAESP members
revealed that only 14% of principals believe
parents and school efforts are completely aligned.
9. What can Teachers Do?
Experts say that schools need to stop worrying
about external internet predators and take on the
threat within: cyber-bullying
The response from many schools was initially to
teach internet safety in terms of protection from
the two P's: predators and pornography.
Many experts now believe this was very much the
wrong approach.
10. Teachers
The focus today, Agatston and Magid
agree, should be on empowering kids to be good
digital citizens.
A school’s focus should be more on the following:
how to protect personal information, interact in
social forums, deal with cyber-bullying, and
critically judge online information are all among
these vital skills.
"We let them assume responsibility for their own
learning and their own online experience," says
Linda Burch, Common Sense Media's chief
education and strategy officer.
11. Teachers
"Bullying and cyber-bullying have a lot in
common, but in many ways, cyber-bullying is
even more pernicious," says Anne Schreiber, vice
president of education content at Common Sense
Media.
Administrators can't shrug off issues of cyber-
bullying by arguing that the bulk of the issues
happen with kids outside of school or that they
simply don't have time in the school day.
Addressing cyber-bullying in school improves
attendance as well as students' focus on their
schoolwork.
12. Teacher and Staff Training is Key
According to a 2010 survey from the National
Cyber Security Alliance, just 50 percent of
teachers who participated in the study felt
prepared to discuss cyber-bullying.
Over three quarters of teachers surveyed spent
less than six hours on any type of professional
development education related to cyber-
ethics, cyber-safety, and cyber-security within the
last 12 months.
At school, many districts are in need of expanding
or revising their policies and procedures around
dealing with these important 21st century issues.
13. How Teachers can Help Prevent
Cyber-bullying

bullying prevention programs begin with bullying and positive digital citizenship:

School districts should work to foster a school
environment where young people are free to
express themselves and their identity online, but
do it in a safe, thoughtful, and respectful manner.
