How do teens know when they might be “one click away from
the clink”? In Teen Cyberbullying Investigated, Judge Tom
Jacobs presents a powerful collection of landmark court
cases involving teens and charges of cyberbullying, which
includes: sending insulting or threatening emails, text, or
instant messages directly to someone; spreading hateful
comments about someone through emails, blogs, or chat rooms;
stealing passwords and sending out threatening messages
using a false identity; and building a Web site to target
specific people. Each chapter features the seminal case and
resulting decision, asks readers whether they agree with the
decision, and urges them to think about how the decision
affects their lives. Chapters also include related cases,
important facts and statistics, and suggestions for further
reading. With an ever-increasing number of serious cases of
cyberbullying and school violence, this book is needed more
urgently than ever.
