Electronic Monitoring in Domestic Situations: What Does This Mean For Parents in the Fight Against Cyberbullying?
Line: 25 to 25
 A New Trend?

The prosecution of Mr. Walker continues, however, prosecutors should consider that criminal prosecution of domestic electronic monitoring may have the unintended consequence of discouraging parents and perhaps educators from using electronic tools to protect children. The question should be asked in regards to Cyberbullying, how can it be adequately addressed when investigation must be done under the specter of criminal prosecutions? It should be noted that the U.S. Department of Health Resources and Services Administration, in listing suggestions to parents on how to prevent Cyberbullying, indicates, for parents to consider installing software monitoring programs. Should these suggestions carry the warning "beware of criminal prosecution" for the use of anti-Cyberbullying tools? I would hope that this should not be the case given the difficulty parents and educators face in dealing with Cyberbullying and bullying of all kinds. In conclusion, parents and educators face tremendous challenges in dealing with bullying and should be able to enter the technological space and use technological tools in their important efforts to stop it without fear of criminal liability.
