On some videos that deal with sensitive topics, the comments resemble a gloves-off, full on brawl. Cyberbullying is a broad term under which the above mentioned behaviour falls. It takes place over any kind of electronic media and can take a great emotional toll on the victim that can have some serious real-world consequences.
Here are a few tips to nip this menace in the bud:
If you receive harassing messages on your phone, save screenshots of the same. Threatening messages can thus be conveniently reported to the authorities. If your child happens to be getting messages from his peers, these saved messages can be shown to the parents of the cyberbully so that the latter can be corrected.
A lot of phones have a facility whereby you can block calls from a certain user. This goes for messages to. Simply treat it as 'spam'.
Resist the temptation to reply, as that can only exacerbate the problem. Besides, it is probably what the cyberbully wants you to do. If you do, however, feel compelled to reply to a deliberately rude comment on your status message for example, do so. Let that person get the message and then simply delete the conversation and block the offender. Never get more involved than you absolutely need to.
Few people can remain truly anonymous on the internet these days. If you are receiving threatening messages from someone hiding behind a veil of anonymity, try to get their IP address traced.
The offender could also be someone you have communicated with in the past, who is trying to annoy you for whatever reason. If they are using a nickname, key in their user name in the 'search' field of your inbox and look for any evidence of past communication. This could help you to identify the person.
Trolling as a form of cyberbullying
What to do when someone is cyberbullying you on your social networking page.
Social networking websites take the issue of cyberbullying very seriously. If the victimisation is bad enough, the sites even encourage you to contact your local police authorities to get help on the matter.
All the major social networking websites, video sharing sites and photo blog sites have links from where you can report abuse.
