Cyberbullying in social media is one of the most important concerns in educational institutions at the K-12 and higher education levels today. Cyberbullying is complicated because it involves children, parents, and other family members as well as society at-large. It hurts the victim, the cyberbully, their families, their friends, others at and beyond the school, and our American society in countless direct and indirect ways — educationally, emotionally, mentally, physically, socially, and in some cases it takes the victim's life away. Sometimes the results of cyberbullying are intentional, other times the results are unintended.
This book presents the information from the collaborative efforts and perspectives of a current school district superintendent who has researched and worked day-to-day with the issues, and an attorney currently dealing with the legal issues relevant to cyberbullying. This book is helpful to students, parents, educators, mental and medical health professionals, and attorneys who work with the misery, fears, terror and other consequences of cyberbullying in social media.

      Cyberbullying is a major concern for schools today. While it affects those working within these institutions and parents of schoolchildren, the behavior most directly involves the students. Coauthors Horowitz, a school superintendent, and Bollinger, an attorney and former superintendent, offer their expertise, detailing legislation pertaining to online harassment and explaining the complex issues surrounding cyberbullying. Dividing their work into three parts, the authors focus individually on students, educators, and parents, providing stories of victims and perpetrators, and actual legal cases for each particular group. While most schools already have policies in place to address cyberbullying, they must continually educate students, staff, and parents about all aspects of online harassment, including how it is currently defined, how to avoid it and/or avoid committing it, victims' and offenders' rights, and possible punishments involved. VERDICT Both a primer and a refresher course, this book is sure to find its way into many educators' hands.--Terry Christner, Hutchinson P.L., KS
