Talk:Case Study: Nafeesa's Cyber Impersonator/@comment-26546063-20150803212108

The school wasn't mentioned much in the article at all, Adrian, and I agree with you. I also wondered about how much the school was involved. I believe it did say the mother reached out to the administrators but not much was accomplished. There were a few cyber safety experts commenting in the article (I had to cut the article down quite a bit so I couldn't mention all of them). Parry Aftab is one expert in particular, and she said that 70% of cyber bullying is impersonating another person online. I was taken aback by that statistic. A separate article I read in the Education section of US News & World Report online said that about 18% of high school administrators said they had to deal with cyber bullying at least one per week. It's definitely something most schools need to have a definitive action plan in place for, because it seems the schools we studied this week have wonderful anti-bullying programs but that doesn't seem to be the norm.
