Cyberbulling Author Offers Some Solutions

Posted by: Curt Varone May 27, 2013 0

 

We have discussed cyberbullying here on a number of occasions. One of our readers send me a link to this interview with an author, Dr. Justin W. Patchin, who has studied cyberbullying – and offers some solutions.

Unfortunately, the cyberbulling that goes on in schools and the kind we see in the fire service are different – so his advice is likely to be of limited usefulness in dealing with co-worker bullying. However, cyberbulling is something many parents are struggling with, so I am posting the interview here.

Happy Memorial Day!!!!
