A must read! 
I spent a lot of time researching a good book on the subject of cyberbullying. I found this book to be the most informative, well written, and illuminating. The authors are obviously experts in the field and document their statements with research. They give a broad overview of the subject and then offer concrete suggestions to parents and teachers for combatting the problem. I appreciated their Intervention Tips and I found suggestions there for new ways of monitoring children's use of the computer. This is a must read for any parent -- and educator -- as the authors also include a separate chapter on What Educators Can Do. As a parent, I also found that chapter helped me see how I might work with my child's school to control bullying and cyberbullying.

A book that educators and parents should read!
If you are a parent of an adolescent or an educator, this book is a must read. As the authors have stated, the impact of students using computers, etc. has had not only a positive but also a negative impact on the learning environment and safety issues within our schools. Cyberbullying in its infancy is creating an epidemic of problems. Awareness of the problem, what schools and parents should do to address cyberbullying, how the different states and schools systems view cyberbullying, and current resources are discussed by the authors. It is a compilation of the most current research.
