Cyber Deviance Group Activity As a group, discuss and give a creative, critical, and specific response to the following questions. You will meet in Zoom, record the session, and submit the link to your group’s recording. There is an attached Word document for you to record the group's responses and take notes during the activity. Download the document and insert your group's answers. When you have finished the activity and recorded all your group's responses, click open below to submit the document. Each member of the group submits their own copy of the group document. 1. Please read the following article: Self Reliance: What to do When you See Cyberbullying How could parents use these tips to address cyberbullying with their children? I think it’s extremely important for parents to have a talk with their children about cyberbullying. Parents could have a conversation with them before they give them a cell phone with access to social media. Besides informing them of what cyberbullying is and warning them of what could happen when being a victim or the person doing the act, I believe it’s important to explain that their kids can come to them about this whenever. How could schools use these tips to address cyberbullying with their students? Schools should get in front of it and address a cyberbullying situation as soon as it is brought to their attention. This not only helps get it under control and helps the kids involved stop the bullying, it allows the victim to feel that they’re not alone and know there are people who will help. 2. In later adolescence, teens may experience a crisis described by Erik Erikson as a struggle between ego identity and role diffusion. How could issues such as cyber bullying, cyber stalking, and sexting influence these struggles? Make sure you consider Erikson’s definitions of ego identity and role diffusion.

I think cyberbullying, cyberstalking and sexting play a huge role in this struggle. When a teen is stretched thin with work, school, family problems or friend problems, they tend to lose focus on who they are. When they scroll through social media, they are bombarded with “perfect” people. They see an image that doesn’t portray reality. With all of this adding up, when cyberbullying or cyberstalking is involved, it makes these stressed, confused teens feel bad about themselves. It confuses them on who they really are and if they are doing things the right way. 3. Do you think that cyber crimes should be considered a status offense or a delinquency? How would discipline change depending on this categorization? When it comes to this question, I believe there is a fine line between status offense and delinquency. When it gets to the point of threatening the other persons safety or morality it crosses that line. I also believe that if it gets to the point where the victim is feeling helpless and they want to harm themselves, it also crosses the line. 4. Should parents be held accountable for their child’s cyber bullying, cyber stalking, or sexting? Why or why not? This question is tricky. I think that if the parent had no prior knowledge of the action of their child, they should not be held accountable. If the parent knows what their child is doing to another child and does nothing to stop the actions, that’s when they should be held accountable. I do believe that in both instances though, counseling is good for the parent.
