Cyberbullying and the Wild, Wild Web Summary

Cyberbullying and the Wild, Wild Web: What You Need to Know by J.A. Hitchcock

The world has changed drastically over the past decade. The Internet has had a huge part in that, as it has made the world more accessible to anyone of any age, race, or gender. Used for entertainment, education, shopping, dating and more, the internet has provided a whole new virtual world for everyone to enjoy. But with the good also comes the bad-and for kids and teens these days, the bad has becomes a constant threat from cyberbullies and cyberstalking. J. A. Hitchcock began to have an interest in cyberstalking and cyberbullies in 1996 when she blew the whistle on a literary agency scam. They stole her identity and began posting messages online pretending to be her; and that was only the beginning of a barrage of threats. When she contacted local police they had never had an internet-related case and couldn't help her, so she taught herself how to track down online criminals, how to handle the situation, and how to stay safer online. After 10 years of being a victim, her cyberstalkers were brought to justice. Unfortunately, not all internet crime stories end with a happy ending. Really, anyone of any age can become the target of a cyberbully. And quite honestly, victims are getting younger and younger every year when it comes to being cyberbullied. Throughout Cyberbullying and the Wild, Wild Web, Hitchcock explains how someone can become victim to cyberbullying and how they can stay safer online. Offering victims, and parents, the chance to be able to relate to and truly understand the unfortunate reality of cyberbullying through real-life examples of what happened to someone who had been through a similar situation. For much-needed practical advice, from an expert who truly understands the threat of cybercrime, this is a must-have resource to combat the ever-growing problem of internet crime in our society.

With nearly 100% of people digitally connected in some form, the risks are fairly high that at some point you will be or know someone that will be dealing with online abuse. Cyberbullying is form of electronic human behavior that no one is immune to. J.A. Hitchcock's book not only explores the real-life tragedies of cyber-harassment, but it offers real solutions. It's a must read for parents and educators alike. -- Sue Scheff, Nationally Recognized Author of Wit's End; Family Internet Safety Advocate
In her book, J.A. Hitchcock offers readers a real and raw look at how and why cyberbullying occurs across the globe, and how it affects the victims, their families, their communities and the bullies themselves. Moreover, it provides important tips and ideas to prevent cyberbullying and how you can mitigate the damage should you or a loved one be a victim of cyberbullying. As a parent and advocate for digital safety & responsibility I believe that information about this epidemic is paramount to creating methods of prevention, and this book provides a wealth of information. Kudos to J.A. Hitchcock. -- Richard Guerry, Executive Director of IROC2.org; Creator of Public and Permanent (TM)
I was absolutely excited to read this book; it did not let me down in the least. J.A. Hitchcock has unparalleled experience and knowledge on so much that can go wrong online yet still has the positive attitude that will help the reader understand that it is important to keep in mind there is good online also. Hitchcock covers the gambit of online threats and lets the reader empathize with the victims yet after reading this the reader will feel more empowered to protect themselves and others from these online threats. Hitchcock's Knowledge and Expertise really shines through and anyone who reads CyberBullying and the Wild, Wild Web will certainly come away from it so much more informed, but not totally intimidated by the technology. -- Bill Latchford, Internet Safety Advocate, www.protectchildrenonline.org
