Delhi school kids increasingly coming under attack from cyber bullying

This case is related to the school going student Rithika Sharma, she was bullied by a facebook user named as Rohit Sinha, he was a facebook fake user he used to chat with her for a month a ago. Later Rithika started sharing her personal information with him which was completely wrong decision taken by her, sharing details with unknown person can cause problems to cyber bullying.
she shared her cell phone number and residual address too. the problem arrived when Rohit Sinha wanted to go out for a date outside Delhi, since the girl was teenager, it was not possible for her to go outside Delhi for a date with him.
Later she came to know it was dangerous for her to continue talking with him. As a teenager she was not having any idea about the social sites that can be misused by someone or might take advantage. As per my opinion every social sites users should be aware of cyber bullying that can create huge problems for every individual users.
Every educational institution should make awareness about the precautions that has to be taken by every individual before using any social media majorly schools going students or teenagers.

Experts say cyberstalking is increasingly becoming a daily problem for school kids with people using electronic communication like emails, social networking and texting to harass or pursue them. Delhi Police has been launching cyber safety awareness programmes in schools in which students are informed to avoid giving personal information online to anyone they don't know.

Manish Kathuria was stalking an Indian lady, Ms Ritu Kohli by illegally chatting on the website, www.mirc.com using her name, and used obscene and obnoxious language, and distributed her residence telephone number, invited people to chat with her on the phone. As a result, Ms Ritu Kohli was getting obscene calls from various states of India and abroad, and people were talking dirty with her.

Sending offensive messages through communication service,  Breach of confidentiality and privacy,  Disclosure of information without consent

# data[].attributes.body
Do not share personal information in public spaces anywhere online, nor give it to strangers, including e-mail or chat rooms.  You can use online segregating tools such as blocking of the email ID, reporting of spams and are also advised to use strong encryption programmes such as the Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) which ensure complete private communications. Keep evidence of possible harassment by saving messages, or copying and pasting them to self e-mails.

The fact that cyberstalking does not involve physical contact may create the misperception that it is more benign than physical stalking. This is not necessarily true. As the Internet becomes an ever more integral part of our personal and professional lives, stalkers can take advantage of the ease of communications as well as increased access to personal information. Whereas a potential stalker may be unwilling or unable to confront a victim in person or on the telephone, he or she may have little hesitation sending harassing or threatening electronic communications to a victim. As with physical stalking, online harassment and threats may be a prelude to more serious behaviour, including physical violence.

Union minister Alphons Kannanthanam has came out in support of a 21-year-old college going fisher woman from Kerala who became the victim of cyber bulling. The story of Hanan, a BSc student at a private college in Thodupuzha, selling fish at Thammanam in Ernakulam after her college hours, was carried by leading Malayalam daily 'Mathrubhumi' two days ago.

Her touching story was widely shared on social media by many, including film artists and politicians. But, a section of people on social media expressed doubts on Hanan's story and termed it as fake. The student had to face vicious trolling.

However, Hanan's college principal and neighbours came out in support of her and said the story published in the regional daily was not fake.

Reacting to the news, Kannanthanam wrote on his Facebook page, "Kerala sharks stop attacking #Hanan. I'm ashamed. Here is a girl trying to put together a shattered life. You vultures!" The tourism minister hailed the woman's attitude to do hard work and move forward in life. Kannanthanam also referred to the difficulties faced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his teenage and said the latter fought against all odds to become the prime minister.

Dear Hanan u need to change PR agency ?? U r PR sucks.Try to market u r sorrow well.Well u know that human beings r dumb .May god bless u .Wait wait wait sorry may 😈 bless u for u r cheap marketing gimmick.#hanan @kboupdates @Forumkeralam1 @ANN_Newsable - Hrishikesh charkel (@Hrishikeshchar3) July 26, 2018

A teary-eyed Hanan appealed her critics with folded hands to leave her alone. "I do not want any help. Kindly leave me alone and allow me to do any kind of menial jobs to earn my daily bread," she said. Kerala Women's Commission chairperson M C Josephine said she would visit Hanan in Kochi. Any sort of attack on such a hardworking woman is condemnable, she said.

Hearing Hanan's story, a filmmaker, Arun Gopy, offered her a role in his forthcoming movie starring Malayalam superstar Mohanlal's son Pranav Mohanlal. The trolls also targeted the filmmaker for such an offer, but Gopy remained firm on the offer.

Megan Meier and Cyber-Bullying
Megan Meier was a 13-year-old girl who had attended the Immaculate Conception Middle School in Dardenne Prairie, Missouri. She took her own life shortly before her 14th birthday as a result of what was deemed bullying taking place over the Internet, or 'Cyber-Bullying'.

Megan Meier is considered to be amongst the first cases of suicide resulting from Cyber-Bullying in the United States of America. However, in contrast to a large majority of Cyber-Bullying cases that has followed Meier's case, in which the bullying is typically undertaken by fellow peers and classmates, Lori Drew, who was the parent of a fellow student, was charged with masterminding the bullying of Megan Meier.

Cyber-Bullying is an act of harassment and abuse that takes place within a digital setting, which most commonly is classified as Internet or Online-based forums. This type of verbal, emotional debasement directed at the victim is a nature of abuse that can come from both acquaintances of the victim, as well as individuals who have never met the victim.

Due to the fact that the act of Cyber-Bullying is inherent within a virtual, digital realm, Cyber-Bullying can take place through the implementation of a vast array of media, including text, pictures, and videos.
Who was Megan Meier?
Megan Meier took her own life on October 17th, 2006. She was 13 years old.
Case Details of Megan Meier's Suicide
The following information details the events that transpired both leading up to the suicide of Megan Meier, as well as the after-effects of Megan Meier's suicide:

Upon moving from O'Fallon, Missouri to Dardenne Prairie, Missouri, where she had been a childhood friend of the daughter of Lori Drew, Megan Meier had informed the daughter of Lori Drew that she no longer wished to be acquainted with her. Lori Drew suspected that Megan Meier was gossiping about her daughter to her fellow students.

As a result, Lori Drew, along with an individual under her employ, undertook Cyber-Bullying efforts directed at Megan Meier through which they posed as a 16-year-old boy in order to forge a relationship with Megan Meier. Throughout this fraudulent relationship, Lori Drew obtained a multitude of personal information about Megan Meier. Drew had planned to humiliate Megan Meier with this acquired information.

Upon the completion of her Cyber-Bullying efforts, Lori Drew, posing as a 16-year-old boy, suggested that Megan Meier take her own life. Megan Meier, who was diagnosed with depression and attention deficit disorder, complied.
United States v. Lori Drew
Lori Drew was charged for the death of Megan Meier as a result of her participation in Cyber-Bullying efforts considered to be responsible for Meier's death. In addition, Ashley Grills, the 18-year-old employee of Drew, was called to testify in the case. However, the verdict rendered acquitted Lori Drew of her contribution to the death of Megan Meier.
Assistance for Victims of Cyber-Bullying
Individuals who have been the victims of Cyber-Bullying, as well as those who have been made aware of events of Cyber-Bullying, are encouraged to contact the National Crime Prevention Council through their telephone number: (202) 466-6272. In the event that an individual wishes not to be named, reports of Cyber-Bullying can be conducted anonymously.

Cyber-Bullying is a very real and growing concern within modernity and the tragic events that befell Megan Meier do not have to be repeated. There is help available - no one ever deserves to be victimized.

Megan Meier sometimes suffered from low self-esteem and was on medication at the time of her death. The cyber exchange devastated Megan, who was unable to understand how and why her friendship unravelled. The stress and frustration was too much for Megan, who had a history of depression. She ultimately died by suicide.

In the information age, playground poundings have moved to online chat rooms and instant messages. Nearly half of all teenagers report they have been the victim of cyberattacks. Everything from text messaging to e-mail can be used to bully victims. Some people even create Web sites solely dedicated to harassment. It may be difficult for a well-meaning child to initially tell the difference between friend and foe online. Parents should be mindful of their children's online activities and relationships.

Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan came in support of Hanan and directed police to initiate action against those behind the abusive propaganda on social media platforms against the college student. He also asked the Ernakulam district collector to provide adequate protection to Hanan, who sold fish in a local market at Thammanam in the city after college hours. With the abusive comments pouring in on social media, a teary-eyed Hanan had on Thursday appealed to her critics with folded hands to leave her alone.

In making of the cyberbullying law, lawmakers should take opinion of the psychiatrist since such offence affects the psyche of a child very much. The law should be made considering the psychology of people involved and the legal expertise of law enforcements. If law is not made, many cyberbullies will be left open and victims will have to suffer the consequences and defeating the concept of justice.

Smart, talented and creative: Tyler Clementi was deeply loved by family and friends for his kind heart and bright spirit. At the young age of 18, he became a victim of a horrible act of cyber-harassment and humiliation. His story puts a human face on the consequences of cruelty, which has been faced by millions of others suffering in silence in their schools, colleges, teams, workplaces, or faith communities. Tyler's story has inspired tens of thousands of youth and adults to be Upstanders in the face of bullying, harassment and humiliation across the globe.

Read about bullying statistics here.

A Passionate Young Man

Tyler grew up with a passion for music. Tyler began playing the violin in the third grade and became an accomplished violinist. He performed in numerous orchestras and was awarded with several accolades for his musical contributions.

Tyler was also an enthusiastic bicyclist and unicyclist.

By combining his knowledge with creativity and talent, he taught himself to play the violin while unicycling! He understood that we all must learn to embrace unique qualities in others and in ourselves.

Coming Out

The summer after his high school graduation, Tyler was learning to embrace his gay self. He had just begun the important journey of coming out to close family and friends. Tyler was brave and honest about who he was, but this was still a difficult, vulnerable time for him.

"Coming out" stories are all very unique, whether disclosing a sexual identity, a gender identity or other personal part of yourself. Have you ever shared a part of yourself and been bullied? Let others know that we can all stand together against bullying.
Share Your Story
In August of 2010, Tyler began studying at Rutgers University where he was excited to learn, grow and have the freedom to live openly as a gay man.

He began playing violin at the institution's high level orchestra. Only a few weeks into his first semester, Tyler's musical gifts earned him a seat in an orchestra comprised primarily of upperclassmen and graduate students. Tyler was one of only two incoming freshman who made the graduate school orchestra.

Targeted for humiliation

Within weeks, Tyler became the victim of a horrible act of cyber-harassment, a type of bullying or cruelty that takes place using the internet.

One night, Tyler asked his dorm mate, Dharun Ravi, for some privacy because he had a date. Ravi agreed but what Tyler didn't know was that Ravi was planning a horrible act of humiliation; he secretly pointed his computer's webcam at Tyler's bed, and then left.

The camera captured Tyler in an intimate act, as Ravi invited other students to view it online. Many students at the university contributed to this invasion of privacy by not reporting or stopping what was happening to Tyler.

Tyler discovered what his abuser had done when he viewed his roommate's Twitter feed. He learned he had widely become a topic of ridicule in his new social environment. He also found out that his roommate was planning a second attempt to broadcast from the webcam.

Several days later, Tyler Clementi ended his life by jumping off the George Washington Bridge. He was eighteen years old.

On Sept. 22, 2010, just days after starting classes at Rutgers University, Tyler jumped from the George Washington Bridge after his roommate used a webcam to spy on him during a romantic encounter with another man and then invited others on social media to watch.

The 18-year-old's death drew global attention and spurred a series of policy changes, laws and educational efforts to tackle bullying and help at-risk youth. “We want youth who are struggling in an unsupportive environment, maybe in their faith community or maybe even at home, to know there is a whole loving community out there that loves them just the way they are,” Jane Clementi, Tyler's mother, said in a recent interview.
