This is even more valid when it comes to parents letting their children online without any safeguards in place. We are now seeing cases where parents sue Facebook because their children accepted strangers as friends, decided that it would be a good idea to meet them and the worse happened.

It should be a public duty to ensure that everyone is properly online-educated and aware of the impact of displaying their lives on the internet, where anything can be accessed and everyone is accessible.

in the real-world bullies do anything they can to remain hidden – it kind of highlights the lack of awareness of how visible your online actions are, that bullies don’t feel that they have to hide this kind of behaviour online.
