There are several helpful websites that offer information and assistance for parents of bullied children, as well as for adults seeking legal redress for cyber bullying.Characteristics of the Cyber BullyAccording to Violence Prevention, there are a number of common characteristics are identified in cyber bullies:Anonymity: These bullies often cruise the Internet under pseudonyms, often the victim often does not know who is doing the bullying.Accessibility: The cyber bully can approach his victim at any time over the Internet. Since the contact is not physical or face-to-face there is no specific time during which the bully has access.Punitive Fears: Victims often fear retaliation from their tormentors. If the victim is a child, the fear of losing access to a computer or other technology may prevent them from seeking help or reporting the behaviour.Disinhibition: The anonymity of the Internet can encourage an individual to commit acts they might not otherwise attempt in person. It affords false courage when the bully thinks he can’t be identified.
