Cyberstalking
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cyberstalking is the use of the Internet or other electronic means to stalk someone.
It has been defined as the use of information and communications technology, particularly the Internet, by an individual or group of individuals, to harass another individual, group of individuals, or organization. The behavior includes false accusations, monitoring, the transmission of threats, identity theft, damage to data or equipment, the solicitation of minors for sexual purposes, and gathering information for harassment purposes. The harassment must be such that a reasonable person, in possession of the same information, would regard it as sufficient to cause another reasonable person distress.
andA true cyberstalker’s intent is to harm their intended victim using the anonymity and untraceable distance of technology.

I just wanted to say that I totally agree that this needs more attention. There is so much cyberstalking/cyberbullying going on, and lots of people, both children and adults, have to put up with it. Many people think that the internet is "impersonal" and that they are protected because they are behind a computer screen and "anonymous". I'm glad you're putting this out there for everyone that reads your blog. Maybe they'll decide to share it with others, and more people will become aware.
