I have to say that until this weeks assignment I didn't realize how bad cyber bullying had gotten. I have a child that is almost ten but I still limit the amount of time he is on the computer. I have also not allowed him to have a phone yet. I see some of the kids walking around the neighborhood with their phones out texting while they walk. The kids now days don't know how to play or socialize without a phone or computer. I don't want my kids to become obsessed with these devises! I think it's our responsibility as a parent to monitor our kids activity. I found this web site that a parent posted because his son committed suicide. It was touching and kind of an eye opener as to this can happen to anyone.

That video is so sad. I'm with you that I think it is the parents responsibility to monitor the activity. I also limit my children's activities on the computer and I certainly think they need to be able to play without something electronic. I have to force them to go outside sometimes and that irritates me. I have threatened the whole family that we are going to live without tv's. I think it would be hard for awhile but I think it would be so much better for the entire family.
