Deadly Tech-Trifecta *** Dangerous Digital Moms

Friday, May 16, 2008

The story of the Woman Indicted in MySpace Suicide Case, has a lot of tragic & far too common twists and turns. An apparently deadly trifecta of vulnerable teens, not-so-tech-savvy moms and bad judgement. The girls were young (cyberbullying is common as early as age 9) .... One mom let her child have a MySpace account before she was old enough & the other apparently borrowed the tech skills of her 19-year-old assistant to forge a page .... And, I worry- frankly - sometimes technology skews our judgement. Anonymity can be a dangerous thing.

We look forward to continuing to help raise awareness re: CyberBullying. You may be surprised who is doing it.
