I was just reading up on an interesting topic and the law that some may not be aware of.
and felt it would make for a good discussion starter.
Extreme example:
Federal Law:
One of the Laws:
forums, blogs, email are not excluded from the law concerning harassment. I suspect the law will become more enforced as the public becomes aware they are protected to a great degree from internet crimes, bullying and harassment.
The first example is a sad case of a child being bullied through internet and text messages and she killed herself. The other two links will get you started on the law itself as these are new laws due to an ever changing internet and mean people in our society. It all seems to be going down within the last couple of years to protect people online.
Parents, do check with your children at least once a year to see if they are being harassed online from school kids- because the terror is just as real to children as it is to adults. Especially the ones who are a bit shy and may not understand what is really happening. They may be afraid to talk to anyone.
I would also like to point out that this forum is probably one of the very few public forums where harassment, personal attacks and bullying is not allowed. I am very proud to be a member of a place that allows it's members to speak their views with an honest heart and moderators and members respect each other without bullying the members while keeping the bullies out.
We have the best moderator team, the best members and the best forum on the web!
{I know you already know that}
How do you feel about the law?
Have you known others who have been stalked or harassed online?
Have you read some of the cases that have been taken to court?
This is a rather new trend of crime that I feel needs to be taken just as serious as if you were talking to someone in a public place or on the phone. What do you think?
I have other links if interested and send them back this way when you discover them.
