Teachable Moment Cyber Style
Use the news story about the two Gainesville High School Students who were expelled from school for posting a youtube video that was offensive as a teachable moment for your children. Are your children feeling like these girls once did that they can do anything that they want on the internet because they are anonymous or wouldn't get in trouble? Make sure your child understands that there are consequences to all there actions, even those in cyberland. Talk to them about the consequences that these two girls and their families are living with. Include the death threats that the families are receiving.
