Powerful parenting for child safety online, offline

March 11, 2022 By Anne 2 Comments

“The importance of a strong, positive relationship between a parent and child cannot be overstated. Reams of research has shown this to be true,” writes Prof. Justin Patchin of the Cyberbullying Research Center (CRC). And yet over the 20+-year-long public discussion about child online safety we’ve seen so little evidence – especially in news coverage and hearings on Capitol Hill – that all this … [Read more...] about Powerful parenting for child safety online, offline

Finally! Solid cyberbullying data on tweens

October 15, 2020 By Anne 4 Comments

There is no better source on cyberbullying than the Cyberbullying Research Center, at least in the US. And this month, National Bullying Prevention Month in the US, CRC, in partnership with Cartoon Network, released data on a whole new group of kids: 9-to-12-year-olds. It may surprise you that we know very little about tweens’ experiences with cyberbullying. But that’s because of COPPA, the … [Read more...] about Finally! Solid cyberbullying data on tweens

January 22, 2020 By Anne 2 Comments

BtT logo

In 1978, an award-winning documentary showed a group of teen juvenile offenders being taken to a New Jersey maximum-security prison, where for three hours “a group of inmates known as ‘the lifers’ berate[d], scream[ed] at, and terrif[ied] the young offenders in an attempt to ‘scare them straight” so they’d stop offending, as Wikipedia tells the story. The film actually popularized the “Scared … [Read more...] about At last: Sext ed based on facts not fear

Digital safety, wellbeing: 2018 highlights (Part 1)

December 27, 2018 By Anne 1 Comment

2018

This may not be the Internet safety look-back on 2018 you’d expect, what with all the news about data breaches, “fake news,” “tech addiction,” algorithmic bias, election manipulation, hate speech, etc., etc. Not a pretty picture. But it’s also not the whole picture. By definition, the news reports airline crashes, not safe landings. Even if 2018 was truly unique, though, with bad news the … [Read more...] about Digital safety, wellbeing: 2018 highlights (Part 1)

For this Bullying Prevention Month, a bit of clarity

October 1, 2018 By Anne 2 Comments

Pew chart

The Pew Research Center just published a surprisingly high figure under a headline referring to "cyberbullying." The authors report that 59% of US 13-17 year-olds had experienced some form of it. But it's important to zoom in on the "some form of" part. Pew's researchers asked their respondents which of six forms of abusive behavior they had experienced online (the 59% was the number for teens … [Read more...] about For this Bullying Prevention Month, a bit of clarity
