Back-to-school brings concerns of cyber-bullying and cheating

With kids back in school, there are a number of concerns that parents deal with: Will their child do well this year? Will they make friends? Are they safe? When it comes to technology, there are two other issues that parents should be aware of: cyber-bullying and cheating.

There have been a number of high-profile suicides following brutal cyber-bullying. As the adult, intervene if your child is bullied or the bully.

Getting your kid a smartphone so they can contact you when their after-school activity is completed is one thing but are they using it to cheat on homework, quizzes, and exams?
